Once again it is hard to believe how time is passing so quickly. 2013 is fast coming to a close, and with it some significant changes are underway.

First, I am relocating. At the moment I have two options I am considering. The first is to remain in the mountain resort area of Big Bear Lake while I undergo treatment for mold.

The stuff is seriously bad and after years of testing, is likely underlying all the ups and downs I've faced since What Animals Can Teach Us about Spirituality was published and explains why I was not up to touring with Blessing of the Animals.

I will surely miss the party perch and being surrounded by wildlife above the lake but getting back to a healthy state will be a blessing.

The other option is to relocate out of state to the south where my family is currently based. I have to get through the recovery first but am likely to go for a visit. There is a lake house to check out there and Asheville, NC is not too far away and worth considering.

Locally, business owners are moving through the 30 Day Challenge. This beta test group has been learning how to set up a solid foundation for online marketing, or learning to get their business online the right way.

Ultimately, we have already decided to make some changes and instead offer 7 day tutorials for the future.

We applied for a $250,000 grant to obtain the funds to create both animal and business related courses. If you have a Facebook account, please click over and get us a vote, we need 250 to qualify and get into the consideration phase.

I am heading out to Desert Hot Springs today for some mineral pool therapy, then it is up to Joshua Tree for a visit to the animal rescue group and friends before heading back to my home town to celebrate my aunt's 90th birthday.

Have a great weekend and look for another update in December!

Book Lover?
Many places clear out their inventory to make way for new items each year. Personally, I am doing the same thing with the help of a neighbor.

After 35 years I am clearing out my library so if you are interested in animal, pet, writing or spiritual books, check out what books we are selling at Amazon.

Many listed are new and some are signed by the authors, while others are rare or out of print.
