TAO

On December 13th, 2014 the only dog I have had, "Cloey," was struck by a car and sent to Heaven on a direct flight. That was also the night I swore to Universe I would never again become a fur-mommy. I blamed myself for her early Earth departure and truly believe I didn't "deserve" to be a mother in any way.

While watching my mother fight a losing battle with Cancer over the last 6 months, I couldn't help but notice my own personal filter on life slightly start to change. It's as if the tragic news put a pair of glasses onto my face that i cannot seem to remove, or even want to. Family suddenly went to the top of the list. My husband and I took off our party hats, put our drinks down, and started to embrace the stillness of life. Slow nature walks, sitting on the beach and watching waves, and the simplicity of laying in bed soaking up cuddles for nearly hours. I've noticed I have been reaching out more and more with my loved ones via text, calls, or even Facebook. Home has become my favorite new adventure.

Perhaps my subconscious manifested it or maybe the Universe just new something that I didn't; That I was finally ready.... But on a random Sunday night, Tao appeared in our path. At only 5 months old, he was already in his second home. As lovely as they were, it was a family that simply was not able to keep up. With 6 kids, 2 cats, and a deployment on the horizon, this little Beagle/Hound mix needed a new path. It was an impromptu, spontaneous, and unplanned agreement to invite Tao over for a slumber party with Julitto and I to see if he was truly suppose to be ours. It took the car ride home for us to realize, this was Divine. By the time we got through the front door, it was as if he had been with us our entire marriage. The vibe felt so organic and natural, that it was almost weird!!!

My husband was instantly overjoyed and spoke on the concept of the start of our little family. Who knows what else this furry bundle of spunk will spark between two Twin Flame souls. I thought our walls echoed with love before, but Tao takes the light energy to a whole new level. <3This may be his 3rd house, but he's finally home.
