Living in the present

Chihuahuas are very smart - they  have the biggest brain percentage for their body size than any dog. My little Chihuahua, Penny, knows the meaning of the word friend. She learned this word when she was very young. Penny has people friends. If I say the word, "friend" to her, her ears perk up (well, her ears are always perky!) and she runs to find her friends. So Penny knows important words. Penny greets each of her friends like she hasn't seen them in a long time, even if she just saw them 5 minutes ago. Penny is a great teacher for living life with enthusiasm, in the present moment. I also taught her the meaning of the word, love....or maybe she taught me.

  1. Dear Indira,
    Thank you for your birthday greetings on 31th august on facebook.
    I love your dog but unfortunately I had never one only 10 days with my boyfriend. This wa a great experience.
    I just want to ask you something serious, a friend of mine Gaby committed suicide and I feel guilty because I phoned two days before with her where she stayed in a psychiatric clinic and my last words were, I cannot come this weekend to visit you.
    Do you think she is also in the Angel hands now like a normal death?I asked God and her for forgiveness (she told me her mother were visiting her and I was thinking everything is o.k.)

    Love Elisabeth

  2. Hi Elisabeth,
    You had no way of knowing what your friend would do. She was in a clinic and it was their responsibility to watch out for her, not yours. When someone determines to commit suicide, they will find a way. You could not have prevented her action.

    Guilt is a dark and harmful emotion that comes with thoughts that you "should have" done something differently, which of course you could not have done.

    The angels are always here for everyone, no matter what, to guide them on their path, even when they leave this world, no matter how they leave. The angels are with the soul of Gaby, offering her what she needs now for the next stage of her journey. Be at peace.

  3. Elisabeth, please do not feel guilty because of the choice your friend made. We cannot control the actions of other people...which is what we learn here in our school. Y
