I've noticed a decline of birds in my yard in recent years, even though I don't use chemicals. This article explains why and what we can each do about it.

There are only a few seats left in the Basic Animal Communication Online Workshop on March 20-21, 2021.

If you've ever wanted to learn how to do animal communication but felt nervous about it, this is a very supportive environment. Most students come into this class with little or no experience or awareness as to their natural strengths. I help you discover how you personally receive animal messages most easily, and then help you build from there.

The diversity of students provides an incredible opportunity to learn from each other, as well as from myself, and yet the class is kept small enough to connect with each other and feel supported.

The workshop is for two days from 12:00pm - 8:00pm Eastern time, making it so much easier for our west coast friends to join us!

If learning how to do telepathic animal communication has always interested you, perhaps this is the time for you to move forward with your own dream. Please join us!

Instructor Jonquil Williams will be teaching this 2-day class online via Zoom.
This basic animal communication workshop is for anyone who has wanted a deeper connection with their animal companions by developing the ability to telepathically receive the animals’ messages, thoughts, and feelings, and send clear messages of your own.

"Most people don't understand that the baby deer has no smell on his body to attract predators and mom does," said animal care supervisor Reg Westcott. "So mom actually avoids her baby. She only goes in to feed and clean it, and she leaves the area."

Please don't assume a fawn has been abandoned. Read this article for good information that will hopefully prevent well-meaning people from thinking they're helping fawns, when in reality, they're delivering a death sentence.

I am proud to announce the publication of this book by Thom’s beloved sister Trish about the care giving of their parents. I’m going to let the glowing reviews below speak on behalf of this book, except to say that she brought to life each voice so clearly and beautifully, and that this will be my primer for my own care giving.Congratulations, Sis!

While They’re Still Here: A Memoir by Patricia Williams

After a lifetime of strained bonds with her aging parents, Patricia Williams finds herself in the unexpected position of being their caregiver and neighbor. Dodging the fine lines between service and servant, guardian and warden, she watches her parents climb over their conflicts and pain to face each new struggle with courage, faith, and a few missteps—still teaching her and still parenting her, when she isn’t too overwhelmed to notice.

Honest and humorous, graceful and grumbling, this is the story of one complex family’s attempts to heal the wounds of the past, forging a new dynamic of compassion, acceptance, and forgiveness as they guide each other through the most vulnerable chapter of their lives.

TRADE REVIEWS
Kirkus Reviews excerpt: “. . . an intimate oral history of a blue-collar, postwar American family revealed by the author in the same touching and heartbreaking manner it was disclosed to her. Both crushing and uplifting; an account nearly as emotional as the caregiver’s trials it vividly outlines.” Kirkus Reviews, November 7, 2017

REVIEWS
“While They’re Still Here is a smart, insightful, honest, poignant, and delightfully told story of the years Williams was her parents’ caretaker. This is the book I wish had existed when I was caretaking my own mother. A definite must-read!”
—Virginia A. Simpson, PhD, FT, award-winning author of The Space Between: A Memoir of Mother-Daughter Love at the End of Life

“Williams’s journey through caretaking balances her family credo, ‘Get over it,’ with doses of compassion, self-examination, and humor.”
—Tanya Ward Goodman, author of Leaving Tinkertown

“No matter how different our families may be, one thing’s for sure: they all come with plenty of baggage. In this beautifully written memoir, we see how author and daughter Patricia Williams carefully unpacks it all while caring for her aging parents. The journey is a bumpy one, yet she manages it with grace, good humor, and most assuredly, love.”
—Judith Henry, author of The Dutiful Daughter’s Guide to Caregiving

“A refreshingly candid, poignant memoir that lays bare the physical and emotional costs of care.”
—Jana Panarites, author of Scattered: My Year As An Accidental Caregiver

“This book is written with honesty, humility, and love, and will remind anyone involved in caring for an elderly parent that you are not alone in your labor of love.”
—Sandra Bullock Smith, award-winning author of Trading Places: Becoming My Mother’s Mother

“Williams candidly shares the intimate and rewarding moments along with the fears and unexpected burdens that go along with this complex relationship. The reader will empathize and learn from her experience and will take away familiar themes they can learn from and that will stay with them.”
—Iris Waichler, MSW, LCSW, patient advocate and award-winning author of Role Reversal: How to Take Care of Yourself and Your Aging Parents

After a lifetime of strained bonds with her aging parents, Patricia Williams finds herself in the unexpected position of being their caregiver and neighbor. As they all begin to navigate this murky battleground, the long-buried issues that have divided their family for decades―alcoholism, ...

In addition to getting feral cats neutered and fed, it's important to keep them warm. These are some low cost, easy to make shelters. Some are obviously better suited than others (e.g., better sized openings), so use your judgment.

It is with deep sorrow that I announce the death of my Beloved husband, Thom Williams. He passed suddenly and unexpectedly in December 2015. He was so full of love and larger than life, always with great humor and compassion for all, an angel on this Earth, especially to animals. Animals were always drawn to him, recognizing a kindred spirit. His healing of animals and the way he helped humans understand animals is something that I plan to carry on, when I am healed enough to reopen Animal Healings.

Some people have asked about making donations in his name. If you feel moved to do so, please consider donating to SPCA of Wake County, North Carolina.

When I am ready to reopen Animal Healings, I will put a notice on this page and on our web site: www.AnimalHealings.com
