Gracie's Tail: Conversations with DoG

Dissatisfied with the practice of law and finding herself getting divorced, again, Julie Bloomer trades in the west side of Los Angeles for the east end of Ojai, California, and embarks on a road of transformation and self discovery, when a wonderful being, named Gracie, enters her life. Along the way, she confronts her past, re-discovers her connection with nature and the unseen forces at work in our lives, and learns to take dictations from Gracie. As animals come into her life and she begins to truly feel how we are all connected, she learns to forgive herself and others as she travels to Ecuador to study animal communication with a shaman living in the Andes mountains. Gracie's Tail: Conversations with DoG is a captivating tale of learning to love and believe in yourself so you can let go and allow the mysteries and miracles of life to flow. It is the story of trying to live a more heart based life, where heart and mind are in balance, where love is the encourager and transformation can occur to release the past and find joy in the present moment. Gracie is the ultimate teacher. Julie Bloomer is a writer, farmer and recovering attorney, who is avid about animal communication, fostering wellness for all beings, and her spiritual studies. She is a dedicated meditator, with Buddhist leanings, who also dabbles in photography. A graduate of Bucknell University in 1971 and Loyola Law School in 1980, she resides in Ojai, California, where she is learning about the healing power of love. Gracie, her writing partner in this book, was a magnificent spiritual being who lived and worked side-by-side with Julie on their ranch in Ojai from 1998 until Gracie made her transition in 2012. Gracie is still involved in writing, although now from the other side. Walter, Gracie's grandson, helped to finish this book. Never wanting to be left out, his paw is present in the photo.
