Celebrating Inspirational Pets

My first Substack account, Wild Western Wanderers, was created to share the many lessons I learned from my soul dog, Ella, who left her earthly body in August 2021. The account has since become a platform for my current pets to share stories of their adventures and perspectives.

I immortalized Ella and 40 of the most important lessons I learned from her during our 15+ years together in the book, Pawsitive Perspectives: Life Lessons From the Shelter Dog Who Became Queen. The book is written from Ella’s point of view because I knew she wouldn’t have it any other way. I also published the book’s Companion Journal to help readers apply the 40 lessons to their own lives.

To celebrate Ella, her book, and the many lessons humans can learn from their pets, I invite you to join me on a 10-week journey. Starting next week, I’ll share one piece of Ella’s wisdom each Tuesday and Thursday on my business Instagram account, Firefly Community and Firefly Yoga Community on Facebook. My dogs, Mala and Tessie, will also share these lessons on their Instagram page, Wild Western Wanderers.

I invite you to join the fun. To kick things off, I will host a Stories Behind the Lessons Author Q&A Live on Facebook on Tuesday, October 21, at 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time.

Participate by posting a photo of your pet along with what you’ve learned from them using #PawsitivePerspectivesChallenge. If you haven’t already, get your copy of the book by visiting this webpage. The book is available in multiple formats (paperback, eBook, and hardcover), and the companion journal is available in paperback.

I’m excited to celebrate Ella and discover what you’ve learned from your pets!
