Late August. How can time have passed so quickly and one season turn to another. After a seemingly impossible short summer, we are now transitioning into the Fall. It's all changing so quickly, and world events seem to take place at an ever more rapid pace. The Olympics, Cannes, Syria, Russia, Syria, Earthquakes in Italy, Floods in Louisiana - events which seem almost possible - have taken place...Food for thought...What really is happening to our world - our culture - our lives? My dogs seem to intuitively grasp the nature of these times & events...They are loved and protected (as much as they can be) by me.

Spring, everything in bloom, a pastel palette & sunshine - every shade of green imaginable - Spring is here, & my dogs are loving it. Rolling around in the new spring grass is one of their favorite pastimes. It's so much fun to watch my dogs play! They always make me smile!

Please check out my new book, Katherine: A Woman of Vision. Katherine was my spiritual teacher & mentor. She loved all animals and the planet Earth. She taught love, respect & appreciation for all life & that All life is One Life. She was born n Wales in 1899, & I met her in Los Angeles when I was 28 & she was 79. She had an out of the body experience at the age of 7 during which she communicated with angels who encouraged her to return to her physical body. From that point on, she awoke speaking in a full, mature adult voice and knowing the Future. Throughout World Wars I & II, & throughout her life, Katherine taught that there is no death, that life on earth is a school through which we learn to evolve spiritually. All of us great different "grade levels. At age 20, she was received daily instruction from her spirit guides who taught her the purposefulness & significance of life on earth. Katherine traveled all over the earth teaching what she had been taught. She counseled world leaders, notable public figures & people from all walks of life. Her book is written as a novel & is both riveting & compelling. You can find it on Amazon, Kindle, Barnes & Noble. I think you'll love it - let me know!

Welcome back! Welcome home to all of you who have known me as a "pet expert" and author of seven nonfiction books about animals. In a way, this was another "life. Yes, I still rescue and care for animals. But I have delved deeply into the world of spirituality throughout my life and, in particular, during the past 5 years of tumult. I am still (and always will be, I suspect) an ardent animal and environmental activist. I have just published a brand new book, a biography of my spiritual teacher and mentor. It's called Katherine: A Woman of Vision and is the amazing true life story of turn-of-the-century British psychic, medium, healer and visionary, Katherine Hayward. Katherine had an "out-of-the-body". experience at age 7. She communicated with "angelic beings" who advised her to return to the physical body. When she awoke, she spoke in a full mature adult voice and knew the future. Throughout World Wars I & II, she taught and proved that there is no death, that humans are immortal and that the real 'you' is not the mind or the physical body, but the Power that motivates them. She taught that life on earth is a school through which we learn to evolve spiritually. She counseled world leaders, notable public figures and celebrities Please check it out on Amazon. Katherine had great respect, appreciation and love of animals and all living beings.

I was divorced nearly four years ago and that event was life-transforming. I won custody of all of our dogs ( I believe I had 22 rescue dogs at the the time, 2.5 acres of land, a huge fenced- in back yard with a large pond (my own ecosystem in which ducks, many varieties of turtles, hundreds of fish, and all kinds of birds ranging from blue herons to geese to cormorants). I had to sell our house - I couldn't possibly afford to pay and care for such high maintenance property. But I received a very small amount of settlement of money and assets that I had earned over a 39 - year marriage. Completely unexpected were the results of our settlement. I poured all of my money into litigation which I hadn't wanted, I had wanted arbitration and our divorce to be amicable I certainly didn't want to spend my money on legal fees. The money could have been of help to so many human and animal welfare organizations. I had rescued, adopted and rehabilitated dogs that had been terribly abused and/or traumatized and terrorized. Following the divorce, I was left physically injured as a result of an accident and had very limited finances with which I had to pay my legal fees and, of course, health care, food and vet care for my dogs. I had made a lifetime commitment to care for my babies, and although all my attorneys advised me to:"get rid" of the dogs, I refused, knowing that they had already been injured and abandoned. I had made a COMMITMENT which I have honored and continue to honor. Well, enough for now. I'll share more information with you in my next post. It's good to be back. Do check out my newest website: Drdianepomerance.com and my other FB pages: Diane Pomerance and Dr. Diane Pomerance. There's even a "Katherine" page. Hope you enjoy. Warm regards to all of you.
