Prologue ...
Most of you know about Rumi and Leonie the beautiful collard dove couple who have been nesting in the huge front garden fir tree 🌲for a number of years.
Also how they are extremely precious and spend lots of time sharing their space with us all. Recently one of them flew over me and a tiny lilac grey feather 🪶 literally floated down in to my hand 🙌

Today Cubby and I were setting out for a walk and just as we got to the front gate we heard a thud on the path bricks. I turned round and right where we had just walked lay a huge semi fledged chick!!! Peddling its legs trying to get up. I ran across and gently picked it up (gender not yet known) and was surprised how heavy and robust it was.
The nest is way up high through thick pine branches so no way was anyone going to put the chick back in its nest.
There was no sign of Rumi or Leonie.
I rang the SSPCA and got a recorded message regarding types of wildlife emergencies ... basically directing me to call the vet.
Crown Vets, Fort William agreed to examine the feisty tot and I took independent advice, en route, from a wildlife expert who I greatly respect. There will be a fuller update in due course but the outcome is that the chick is not injured, will stay overnight at the vets, and tomorrow will travel to finish being reared at a specialist wildlife rescue 😀
I learnt today that it is a fact that collard doves and pigeons cannot care for their chick's on the ground, as blackbirds do.
I am absolutely thrilled that the wee tot will make it although sad for the parents who will be worried 😟
They were in the back garden earlier and I spoke with them about their beautiful chick being protected and safe. They sat listening - they are beautiful souls.
Before I left the vets I had a cuddle with the wee soul, shared Reiki and promised to keep in touch.
I cannot wait to follow the progress of this chick and am sponsoring them at the rescue centre 🙌
More news will be shared in due course 🙏🙌🪶🕊🪶🙌🙏

Ongoing Reiki love and light for dear Milton's very highest good 🙏🙌✨️🙌🙏

MILTON

Ali was worried that this adult Rook wasnt able to take flight and while that should have made him easy to catch these birds are intelligent and keen to avoid capture. Plus they can deliver quite a peck!

It's also breeding season with Rooks on nests already so they dont want to be away from the rookery and their social structure.

While MILTON doesn't have any major injuries he does need some time to rebuild his strength and get fully fit again so he'll chill with us here until hes ready to go back home.

That gnarly white skin patch above and around his beak is indicative of an adult Rook, and the shine on this feathers is just glorious - so many shades of black!

Beautiful 🙏🙌✨️🐾🐾👣🌈

The snow had fallen overnight, soft and quiet, covering the world in a kind of peace that only winter can bring.

When she stepped outside that morning, everything felt untouched, like a blank page waiting for a story. But then she saw them.

A line of paw prints pressed gently into the fresh snow.

They were small, familiar, and impossibly perfect. Each step carried a memory she knew by heart. The way he used to run ahead, then stop and look back to make sure she was still there. The way his paws would leave little marks across the yard, like signatures of joy written across the ground.

She stood still, her breath catching in the cold air.

Those prints should not have been there.

Not anymore.

And yet, there they were, leading across the yard, curving toward the place he used to love most. For a moment, she forgot everything else. The quiet house. The empty bed. The ache that had settled deep inside her chest.

All she could see was him.

She followed the trail slowly, each step careful, almost afraid the moment might disappear if she moved too quickly. The world around her faded, leaving only the soft crunch beneath her feet and the silent path ahead.

It felt like he was leading her somewhere.

Not to a place, but to a feeling she thought she had lost.

When she reached the end of the prints, there was nothing there but untouched snow and the gentle glow of the morning sun. No movement. No sound. Just stillness.

But somehow, it did not feel empty.

It felt full.

Full of every walk they had ever taken. Every moment of laughter. Every quiet night when he stayed by her side without needing a reason. The love was still there, woven into the air, into the ground, into her.

Tears came, but they were different now.

Softer.

Because she understood something she had not been able to before.

Love does not vanish.

It leaves traces.

In paw prints that appear when you need them most. In memories that refuse to fade. In the quiet moments when the world feels still and something deep inside you whispers that you are not alone.

She looked back at the path one more time before heading inside.

The snow would melt. The prints would disappear.

But what they meant never would.

Tonight
most people will miss this

Not because it isn’t there
but because they are looking down

Don’t be one of them

April 1
The Pink Moon rises

The universe is putting on a show

Just look up 🔭✨

Welcome to April everyone 🙏🙌✨️
I'm recovering well from recent keyhole surgery which means I'm unable to drive for 5-10 days approximately 🚘
Distance Reiki will continue as usual and face to face appointments can be scheduled once I'm safe to drive again 🥰

I've been fortunate to gain some new clients recently ... two K9s and two Human 🥰
I continue to send distance Reiki to some previous clients and this always remains an option ... once the connection has been made it can be boosted whenever necessary 🙏
