This past Monday I was compelled to go online to the Petfinder.com website and I saw a picture of a dog that I immediately connected with. I tried to push him from my mind but I kept going back to the site. After I read your article I realized that there was a reason I checked out that website to begin with and Buddy was meant to be a part of our family. Last night I went down to the pound and picked him up. The bond was definately there and I brought Chia (my 3 year old rescue) to meet him. They got along great. I will be bringing Buddy home today after he is fixed. I occasionally have doubts that Chia will feel slighted with a new dog around by my intuition tells me that this is the right thing to do. We have so much love in our home that one more dog is only going to make that love grow bigger.
Thank you! |
Awwww! Doggy!
What a great story...good luck! You should post pics!
I've been having ego vs. intuition run-ins lately involving my love life. I've been hurt a lot in the past, and abandoned by men several times. So, I've developed a really great defense mechanism (/sarcasm). Pretty much, if I feel slighted, threatened, jealous, or angry, I'll break things off immediately before the other person can do something to me.
I've had to catch myself at least 4 times in the past few days in order to keep myself from breaking things off
I noticed that my IM program is crashing and freezing suddenly. I've had it for several years, with no problems. Funny, that, because we communicate a lot by IM, and I was watching to see if he'd write to me. The crashing program finally made me just abandon that altogether.
My ego was telling me, "He's gonna hurt you! Tell him off! He's a jerk! Better to kick him out than to wait for him to dump you, like you know he will!" My intuition was in the background screaming, "NOOOOOOOO! He's what you want, spirit put y'all together, and you have things to learn from this situation, so stop your bitching!"
Intuition can lead you into some really painful places, though. I'm so afraid, and I know that it's my past haunting me...and that's the ego. Intuition is making me suffer.
I almost equate following my heart and gut with pain at this point. That's how blurred the line can get. If I want or feel a pull to something or someone, that thing will hurt me. Has anyone else every experienced that?
