Thank you so much for all the love, warmth and compassion you're flooding us with. The grief is just ours, not Jagger's. Leaving his earthly body was certainly a relief for him.
Earlier this year we didn't think he would make it through another summer, but he must have felt the change coming - us moving to our farm, because he worked up a 3rd, or should I say a 4th wind.
Jagger hated car rides all his life, no matter how much we bribed him:-)
Noah was driving the dogs from the old place to the farm and he said that Jagger was fine the entire ride. Once he lifted him out of the truck, Jagger started walking the entire fenced off part of the property, which is some 5 acres in total. He would do so almost every single day since, including yesterday, when he made one last big round and checked on everything.
Watching him walk was painful for us (and surely painful for him), as his hind legs were very stiff and in recent days his front legs really started giving him problems as well. But he kept walking, checking the land and making sure all was well.
Once he laid down in the house, getting up again was very challenging and he needed help a lot of times.
We decided to help him cross over before he got even worse. It feels like this way he left with joy in his heart.
It's impossible to have known a truer friend - Jagger was honest every single day of his life.
A very experienced dog trainer once gave him a very appropriate nickname: The stubborn mule.
Boy, was he stubborn. We tried to crate train him very early on, and mind you, it was a big crate.
No amount of treats would help, so we started putting his food bowl in there and just kept it open.
He wouldn't eat for a few days, that's how stubborn he was. And he won:-) We ended up giving him his food and he never spent a day in a crate (other than during the transatlantic flight).
Jagger was an extraordinary therapy dog. He would go to work with Kristin every day and sit next to her coaching clients, always there for comfort, quiet confirmation or a loud sigh at the right time that made everyone laugh and the clients realize something about themselves.
With his quiet and calm stoicism, he conquered the hearts of quite a few people who usually have zero connection to animals.
Jagger never met a child he didn't like and he would spend hours just standing there, letting children pet him and feel safe around a being that was bigger and stronger than themselves.
He was a free spirit and took off more times than I can count - not to run away, just to follow his bliss until it was time to come back home.
We don't really hear from dogs after an NDE, so I'm not sure what happens, but Jagger was definitely a human in a dog's body, so yesterday we told him that he could go home, the real home, beyond any tricks, games, reincarnation and earth bound karma.
Ultimately, as always, the choice was his.
I had a wonderful time sharing songs & stories with all the great folks who came to see us at the Blast on the Bay Songwriter Festival in Port St. Joe this past weekend.
It was so great to see some of you all - part of the INSPIRED family - who’ve been coming there for years.
Kristin and I both loved the hugs and conversations - THANK YOU.
Here’s Wise Man for you all
Getting ready to play a show a little later here at Blast on the Blay on the Forgotten Coast.
The beach this morning was pretty wonderful;-)
Blast on the Bay is a quite unique songwriter festival - it’s got that magic vibe many other festivals hope for.
We’ve been coming here for 10 years and it always feels like coming home.
I’ll be playing 3 shows in total over the next 3 days and I’ll also get to listen in on my fellow songwriters - some of the very best in the world - as they play some of their hits which are part of the soundtrack of our lives…music is one of the absolutely coolest thingw here in the Matrix;-)
What are y’all up to this strongend?
(See what I did there)
Future memory technique update:
Dearest Inspired Tribe,
I haven’t many friends that are in my physical presence that are on a similar path to me.
It has felt isolating, and I’m sure some of you will resonate with that.
2 days ago, I did the future memory technique about meeting a man at the gym ( not necessarily romantically), that was on a similar path to me.
I also did it yesterday, and then expressed sincere gratitude from my heart.
Today I was at the gym in the sauna ( not on a treadmill going nowhere 😂), and a man started chatting.. and it turns out he is of a similar mindset to us..
Man number 2 walks into the sauna, and I thought “ oh no, he will shift the vibe”, but he then joined in and all 3 of us had an amazing uplifting conversation.
Granted, neither of them physically looked like the man I had visualised 😂, but that’s a moot point.
Tomorrow I will visualise man 3 😂😂
I struggle with online connections as I really like to be able to look into someone’s eyes and...
Hi tribe,
I need your advice regarding a session with Roby Chevance (she was recommended by Jean & also interviewed on the channel).
I'm in a very intense healing corridor, trying to recover from chronic illness and manifest myself into a healthy, supportive environment. I've made some real progress since last year, after doing deep trauma work.
But I'm still struggling and "feeling stuck" in many ways, so I've been trying to get some help.
I contacted Roby a few months ago, via email, text, and then her website-contact form. I did not hear anything back for months, but then, unexpectedly received an email from Roby's new assistant Catalina, who gave me a discount and the payment details so I could book a session. I was super happy and sent the money via PayPal ($275) on Oct 16, and was supposed to receive a booking link the next business day.
But since then: no further communication. No link, no email. I tried both of Roby's emails again, and even via PayPal – nothing. I'm now wondering what...
Friends,
it's always quite interesting to see how one and the same piece of information/video/article can cause an incredibly variety of reactions. From "blessed and inspired" to "this is fear mongering of the worst kind".
They saw the same piece on information delivered/written by the same person. So is it the information itself or is it something else that determines how we react?
Kristin and I talk about it in today's Sunday Sermon right here 👇🏽
Much Love & Many Blessings,
Jean & Kristin
Friends,
in the face of all that we are witnessing in the world today, who hasn't asked themself at times, "What can little old me change"? It's a common question and we've all asked it before.
It's actually a very important one to ask, but most don't realize how powerful the real answer is.
Let us explain in today's Sunday Sermon 👇🏽
