One of my favorite stories is my grandmother telling me she saw me from the kitchen window in the backyard when I was about 3.  She couldn’t figure out what I was doing hopping around in an usual way, so she came out to check on me.  When she asked me what I was doing I told her I was trying not to step on the ants.  This pretty much sums up who I am….someone who when birds fly into the window goes out and holds them until they can fly again.  I turn around on highways because I thought I saw something furry in the road & whose happiest, most life changing moments have involved animals. In the last two decades animals have taught me some life changing lessons.  This has not only increased my love of them but created a tremendous respect for them and the amazing way they are here to teach us. One of my greatest joys is showing other people what their animals are here to help them learn.
