My Soul Speaks in large part expresses my journey through life. When my mind is challenged, I write notes to myself. Looking back, I realized that many of the notes were poetic. The mental force of thought compelled me to externalize my thoughts. My Soul Speaks is an umbrella that shadowed my walk through life as a daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. All of whom my soul speaks through.

We are all on a special journey traveling this road called life. Each day invites us to a brand-new adventure, some of it good and some of it not so good. In His Gentle Care gives us daily meditations followed by scripture references to help us along the way. Through these readings, one can come to appreciate the sounds and beauty of creation from an early morning sunrise to its setting, a gentle breeze or a howling wind, the smell of an early spring shower or freshly cut grass, along with the wonders of each season, much like the seasons of our lives. As we step into each new day, may we take with us all of the lessons we learned from yesterday and face all of the challenges that may come our way, trusting that God will be there to lead us and guide us.
In 2007, the author took over the complete care and feeding of the birds, squirrels, and chipmunks. In about 2004, she had inherited the care and feeding from her mother who had broken her hip and then became sick with heart problems. When her mother passed away in 2007, there was not much there in the way of backyard pets, but over the years, it became built up and quite nice. The author bought a digital camera in 2010, which made the possibility of winter, spring, summer, and autumn photographs possible. Over the years, the number of pets has gone up and down, and the decorations have gone up and down, but the author's love and devotion has remained the same. The author already owned the rabbit, mice, and hamsters back in 2004, and they are always included in her writings of God's backyard pets. Occasionally, we go out and about the neighborhood for it is quite scenic and describe other places such as Mary's Pond, Leonard's Pond, and the scenic trail at Fairhaven for Budgie, the author's bunny always came along for walks or bicycle rides or kayak rafting and so too the mice and the hamsters. The seasons play a large part in the lives of the pets, and we have faithfully marked every winter, spring, summer, and autumn. Being so close to the land and to the water and what's going on with the pets, it's only natural to feel the joys and woes of every season. See the wonder of the squirrels, chipmunks, birds, mice, hamsters, and bunnies though the miracle of each season. Follow the joy of Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving through the eyes of God and the author. These writings are specifically from 2015 to 2019. The author did not start with the intention of marking every season and holiday. It just evolved naturally from wanting to further document the backyard lives of their pets. And to do so, in a way that would make a difference. This book is dedicated to Budgie, the author's number one pet, and for whom she took on the project of the backyard pets in the first place. She always did believe. Whether a dozen pets or one pet, we have enjoyed every minute of it!
Tic…Toc…Tic…Toc…Tic…Toc. Fear and anticipation can kill before the dreaded ‘Verdict.’ MAN, the alternate God, makes decisions on behalf of creatures without a ‘voice’. Tara is likely to be ‘put to sleep’ much against her wish. Keeping herself forcibly awake, recollecting her birth home and her breeder, Tara reminisces how faith and prayers made her overcome her shortcomings and enabled her to achieve her dream. The transition of loyalty and love, a forbidden love affair with a mongrel, tales of woe and the cruelty of man echo in her thoughts. Tara shows us a love above all measures, a bonding that is beyond human comprehension that exists between the alternate God and the voiceless. Anticipating the dreadful news, minute by minute, second by second, Tara hopes that her human Mom hears her voice and waits for that magic to happen, with love and faith…
If he had been with me everything would have been different... I wasn't with Finn on that August night. But I should've been. It was raining, of course. And he and Sylvie were arguing as he drove down the slick road. No one ever says what they were arguing about. Other people think it's not important. They do not know there is another story. The story that lurks between the facts. What they do not know—the cause of the argument—is crucial. So let me tell you...
