Loss. It touches everyone, at some point or another. No one is immune. So why do we feel so alone?

There's a strange feeling of watching everyone around you from inside a different dimension, where you are all alone in your sorrow and no one understands

When is the best time to heal? Many would say that it depends on what you're healing from. Illness, injury, emotional duress...there are a myriad of reasons we might need some healing in our lives.

Animals have so much to teach us. One of the lessons I see regularly at GHRS is how much the love between creatures can change everything. Meet Tyson and Iris. Tyson is the black goat, and Iris is his pregnant "wife." Appollo and Grover, Iris' wethered brothers, also live here. They do not seem to understand that Iris is feeding the next generation of goats, and they have discovered that her...well...W I D E state makes her slower and easier to chase off the feeders. Th

Trust your instincts and move forward with confidence. MOVE FORWARD. That's what this Fire Horse means to me. I means stop living in the rut of the rat race and create new possibilities for myself, my family, my community. That's precisely what we're working toward with Gypsy's Heart Rescue & Sanctuary. This project is more than a rescue for animals. It's an expression of how healing needs to work - and should. Healthcare today is a mess. Medical decisions are largely
