Have you ever looked at an animal in your life and thought, I don't think you're an accident, not how you met, not when you met, and not the relationship it became. Today I want to talk about what I call divine appointments with animals, and how those moments are also soul appointments and sacred appointments that shape our lives far more deeply than we realize. In my work with my own animals and with the people who love them, I've seen this truth time and time again, animals don't just enter our lives. They arrive. They arrive during grief, during illness, during major life transitions, during moments when our hearts are cracking open or being asked to and when we look back, we often realize that timing was impossible to ignore. So today, I want to give you language for something that you may have felt your entire life but never had words for.
