“Believe something and the Universe is on its way to being changed. Because you've changed, by believing. Once you've changed, other things start to follow. Isn't that the way it works?” ― Diane Duane, So You Want to Be a Wizard

The Fish Whisperer

"Clearly, animals know more than we think, and think a great deal more than we know." - Irene Pepperberg - The Alex Foundation

This is truly a most extraordinary fish tale. Posted on Outdoor Hub.

Chris Ellenburg was fishing in Lake Belton in Texas when the most peculiar thing happened to him: he caught a fish that didn’t want to be released.




We don't have to speak the same language. The connection is already there.

What is required is kindness, a gentle nature, a desire to learn and a willingness to modify our actions. In so doing, like my exchange with Hemingway the turtle, extraordinary encounters are possible.

All my relations. I honor you in this circle of life with me today. I am grateful for this opportunity to acknowledge you in this prayer...
To the Creator, for the ultimate gift of life, I thank you.
To the mineral nation that has built and maintained my bones and all foundations of life experience, I thank you.
To the plant nation that sustains my organs and body and gives me healing herbs for sickness, I thank you.
To the animal nation that feeds me from your own flesh and offers your loyal companionship in this walk of life, I thank you.
To the human nation that shares my path as a soul upon the sacred wheel of Earthly life, I thank you.
To the Spirit nation that guides me invisibly through the ups and downs of life and for carrying the torch of light through the Ages. I thank you.
To the Four Winds of Change and Growth, I thank you.
You are all my relations, my relatives, without whom I would not live. We are in the circle of life together, co-existing, co-dependent, co-creating our destiny. One, not more important than the other. One nation evolving from the other and yet each dependent upon the one above and the one below. All of us a part of the Great Mystery.
Thank you for this Life.

Welcome to AnimalNsight

“The Universe is very, very big. It also loves a paradox. For example, it has some extremely strict rules.
  •  Rule number one: Nothing lasts forever.
Not you or your family or your house or your planet or the sun. It is an absolute rule. Therefore when someone says that their love will never die, it means that their love is not real, for everything that is real dies.
  •  Rule number two: Everything lasts forever.”

  - Craig Ferguson, Between the Bridge and the River

  • One Rule or Rule number three: In simply being alive in this moment you are here, making your mark on forever! Go YOU!

Hello - :)

Just a brief overview as you explore this site -

Jack and Gracie Salute you!
Nice to connect with you. I am Wendy.

My background includes 2 decades in radio broadcasting (News/Reporting/DJ/Misc.) where I have had great opportunities to connect with thousands of people and help them share their stories.

Some were just a quick connect in passing: Mr. Rogers, President Jimmy Carter, Wayne Dyer, The Amazing Kreskin, etc ... or a short radio shout and no archives exist because I didn't keep them or they were lost due to keeping them on technology that no longer exists. Progress happens.

After exiting radio I continued to pursue stories and interviews. I blog and podcast and currently have three sources for my shows to draw from: Empower Radio, Talk Shoe, and KCMO Talk Radio.

Wendy's Coffeehouse is on KCMO Talk Radio FM103.7 and AM710. Conscious Living is on Empower Radio. 9pm CST weeknights. "Empowering you for a better life!"

Sample shows are from the archives (No subscription or fee required to listen.). I cover a wide range of topics and showcase that in this selection. Thank you for listening!
