'How to Read Humans' by Brownie the Cat



Brownie the Human Whisperer

Brownie left this world recently, but not before leaving his cat guide for future 'human consolers'. 

Brownie,the human whisperer, was a master cuddler who knew the art of waiting for the invite before jumping into the lap of comfort.  He'd quietly and patiently observe his person without disturbing her while sitting perfectly still until she softly extended an invitation to join her.




I want so very much to Jump into your Lap to Snuggle but I Wait

Brownie read her moods, always knowing when she needed company and when she needed solitude. All of this was done silently, softly and lovingly. He grocked her. He loved her. He adored her. He waited.


"Brownie", you'd say in that soft voice, "You could, you know." My heart jumped with joy as I lept into your lap of comfort.


How to get in Bed with Your Human

Brownie understood 'gentleness could accomplish what force could not' and 'all good things come to he that waits'. His unhurried and good-natured manner would result in good things like cuddle time with a relaxed human every time.

His advice? If you want to get in bed with your human for a snuggle, or keep her company and cuddle on her lap, you can't force the issue. You must gently sit alongside her and send her love. She'll soon feel your warmth and gaze, and respond with an invitation to join her.




How to Make Your Bed and Lie in It

Brownie was always a firm believer in sleeping on the job. If you want your human to learn the art of being comfortable and cozy in life, he thought, you must show them how to do it. It is very important to make your bed and lie in it.  

"Human's are a busy lot," Brownie thought. "To help them let go and relax you have to catch their eye, then show them how to soften their bodies in slumber. Always choose places their attention goes to lie down and demonstrate the proper way to relax--such as on bookshelves or computer keyboards."

"And once you've been invited to have a snuggle on her lap, if you fall asleep, it will cause her to relax that much longer as she won't want to disturb you. That's how you make your soft bed and lie in it longer."



50 Shades of Cat

Not every cat wants to be a cuddler or consoler of humans. But if you desire to be a love-bug, cuddler, or snuggler as I was, relax in the job. Sleep a lot. Purr a lot. Wait a lot. Love a lot.

I dedicate my "How to Read Humans' manual to the woman I adored, Linda Barnett. She is a worthy human with kind eyes and a good heart. I chose to live with her as I could read her tenderness for all living creatures. I know any cat who now comes to live with her will find a suitable home--no matter what shade of cat she'll take you in.

Keep Peace in Your Soul


You are a child of the universe


No less than the trees and the stars.


In the noisy confusion

Keep Peace


In your soul.

In the noisy confusion of life,
Keep peace in your soul.

How Much is that Doggie in the Beet Juice?

You Art What You Eat!

Life offers you a daily Rorschach Test to show you what you're focused on and perhaps provides you a clue of what you want to have in your life. All you have to do is unlock your eyes and look into everything to find what you're looking for. 

My partner-in-Art, Lee Bryant, who has an amazing eye for capturing interesting subjects in everyday life to photograph sends these works of art to me to use as a Rorschach Art Test.

The background I used in this piece is a photo of beet juice. Thus 'I art what I eat'! And what often shows up for me in my Rorschach Art Test are themes of love, relationships and dogs. 

And as often happens, as I turn my focus on dogs, love, and silliness, more silly dogs appear around me--one's rescued from the shelter into good homes. It makes me happy to see my friends adopt dogs to enrich their lives. It's good for the dogs and life-saving for the humans.


Welcome Seamus! 
Congrats Sue Flynn!

All is Well~Have Faith in the Future



To best get through life's crises calmly 
choose to see FAITH and FUTURE
as conjoined twins--
Where one goes the other follows.



Expand Your Universe with Trust

The more trust you place in life
--despite the turmoil you're facing--
the more your universe expands 
with love, safety, and opportunity.

Expect Life to Unfold in Your Favor



To develop faith in the future,
 give up FEAR as soon as possible--
False Evidence Appearing Real.


Turn an Attitude of Fear into 
an Attitude of Faith
by changing your focus




I Have Faith in the Future

You can develop faith in the future by
learning to convert the fear that naturally pops up 
into an attitude of FAITH
--Forgoing All Insecurity for Trust and Hope

It's not always easy, but it's necessary~
and you can do it.





Change Your Focus

How can you trust 'all is well' and 
'my future is bright, joyous and secure'?

Begin by taking your focus away from
'awfulizing' and 'catastrophizing' in a crisis,
and then turn your focus on TRUSTING
yourself, your life and your friends instead.

Bring your trust 'home'




I'm in the Process of Positive Changes

Everyone feels fear when they're 1st confronted with
life's troubles. It's a good and natural response.

But the goal is to recognize your fear
as a starting point rather than an end point
so you're mobilized into action rather than frozen in fear.

When you consciously acknowledge 
and name the fear you feel, you can consciously 
change your focus to what you can 
trust--you, your friends, and your life.  
And then you can choose to take positive 
steps in the right direction.

It's a process. Trust it. Work it.



All Good Things 
Come to She who Waits

Breathe
Be Calm
Trust
Take Positive Action


Always look for and take the next step...
Positive action reduces fear.

Open Your Heart~Blessings are Waiting on Your Doorstep


Blessings!

May the light of your soul guide you.




Your Blessings have Arrived!

May the light of your soul 
bless the work you do with the 
secret love and warmth of your heart.




My instructions were to alert you!

May you see in what you do 
the beauty of your own soul.




They're Here!

May the dawn find you awake and alert,
approaching your new day with dreams,
possibilities and promises.




Blessings are already being delivered

May the sacredness of your work 
bring healing, light and renewal 
to those who work with you 
and to those who see and receive your work.




Are you ready to receive your blessings? 

May your work never weary you; 
May it release within you wellsprings 
of refreshment, inspiration and excitement.



Clear the way lest blessings 
find themselves waiting outside, 
or with no one awake enough to receive them.

May you be present in what you do.

May you never become lost in the bland absences.

May the day never burden you.



May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.





May your soul calm, console and renew you.




May you go into the night 
blessed, sheltered, and protected.




Your Blessings are Bubbling Over!

Look around you, they're everywhere!
What are you waiting for? 
Open your Heart. Let them in.




My Prompt for the Art: Sarah's Bird Bath Bubbling Over with Blessings

Sarah Oppenheimer-Beggs posted this photo of her bird bath with the odd protrusion of ice so I decided to show her what was causing it--little beings delivering blessings, of course!




Blessings Attributed to and Sent back to Kimonui Holgen

Many thanks to long time friend and healer, Kimonui Holgen, who introduced me to the blessings in this post over 10 years ago. I do not know their origins, perhaps Kimonui himself. In any case they came through him to me and are now passed on to you.
