Two months ago, we said our goodbyes to Lilo as we knew her in this lifetime.
It was a process and a decision that wasn't easy.
I know she touched many people's lives. Whether it was through an Animal Communication class or knowing her in the physical, she brought light and joy to so many.
I remember thinking, just a week before she transitioned, how excited I was that she volunteered to teach in the last round of Animal Intuitive. She hadn't volunteered herself for the last couple of rounds of the course, but she chose to be in that one.
What feels so special about this, and about my journey with her, is that she came with me to my classes when I was first learning Animal Communication.
She sat with the group, allowed people to practice with her, and brought a smile to so many faces.
It feels synchronistic to me that she saw me through this entire journey, right into teaching this work myself.
I launched Animal Translation, my full Animal Communication training, and not even a month later, we were saying goodbye to her in an emergency situation…
Animal Translation is full of her energy.
She is the face of the program. It was her picture I felt drawn to use in creating the course, and she sat with me long into the nights as I built it.
Saying goodbye is never easy.
And when we are living and navigating life, we don't always understand why things unfold the way they do.
But it is through reflection that I am beginning to see all of the ties and connections Lilo was (and still is) creating in my life.
Realizing that she quite literally walked this entire path with me, and said goodbye on the horizon of my stepping into this work in a new way, is something I carry deeply within my heart.
And I will continue to remain open to the signs, the synchronicities, and the ways she continues to make herself known.
Timing and alignment are interesting things. Something I continue to be shown and remember… Even in grief.
