Hello Everyone,

I found this wonderful ten minute video via one of my wonderful friends Emma. It holds such truth and encapsulates so much, please do take a break to watch it and share it with your friends and family if you like it too. This planet we all share is to be treasured, honoured and respected, all of life.

Hello everyone,

As you are probably aware I am supporting WSPA (The World Society for the Protection of Animals) and raising desperately needed funds to prevent the extinction of the precious Orang-Utan.  Please would you support me in changing the future for the Orang-Utans and ourselves. We can turn things around if we work together.

There are two simple things that you can do personally to make a positive difference.

One – research and buy products from organisations that buy sustainable palm oil. Try Google and rspo.org and www.palmoilaction.org.au all hold useful information.

Two – make a donation to get your hands on a copy of the “hot off the press” CD being made…. as I type this message, a group of highly talented musicians called Musikscool (including my wonderful partner David Bell) are creating from scratch, in a day, 5 unique tracks all written for and about the Orang-Utan.

I’ll send out a short video soon to show you what they are up to.  If you would like a CD then all you have to do is send me a message with your postal address and make a minimum donation of ten pounds to the link below and we will send you your copy for you to enjoy.

Please help… If you don’t want the CD please do make a donation, whatever the amount, it all makes a difference.

Thank you.

Dear Friends,

For those of you that have known me over the past decade, yes it’s that time again! I’m embarking upon my fourth charity challenge!

This time, a cause that is especially close to my heart. Organised by the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA),  I am raising funds to protect the Orang-Utan from extinction. The challenge is The Borneo Adventure 2010.(this link gives you a flavour of the last trek in 2009) If you would like more information I can send you some further information about the wonderful work being done.

To give you a flavour, this challenging jungle trek takes place between the 5th-15th November across Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, one of the least visited parts of the dense rainforest.  We will be raising funds desparately needed to protect the precious Orang-Utan from extinction.  This great ape shares over 96% of the same DNA as humans and its numbers are dangerously dwindling at around 50,000, a decline of over 80% in the past 100 years.

Mass deforestation for logging and creating huge palm oil plantations are the main cause of this incredible animals demise, something that we can and must change. Orang-Utans are being killed, maimed and/or orphaned by the people/organisations that are profiting from this unsustainable money making operation. For those of you that saw the film Avatar, I’m sure many of the images created in this film give a glimpse of what it must be like for the animals affected by this hideous devastation to our precious planet and their natural habitat. Not to mention the damage we are causing to the balance of our beautiful planet. We must readdress this balance to ensure our future generations survival. The sad truth is that this is not an over dramatic claim, it is a statement of fact.

WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO GET INVOLVED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, PLEASE?

OK, so that said, here is what I would like you to consider doing in order to support these vital fund raising efforts;

I have organised two sponsored abseills in different locations;

  • The first on Friday the 13th August (yes, Friday the 13th, an extra excitement/challenge!!!) at RAF Alconbury, Nr Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.
  • The second on Thursday the 19th August at a wonderful Viaduct, near Plymouth, Devon.(once you commit, I’ll send you a further e-mail with full details of the location and how to get there.)

Each event will have two sessions that you can attend, either 1-5pm (ask your boss for time off!) or 6-9pm.

All you need to do is;

  • Agree to do one (or both!) and raise a minimum of £50 (for each if you do both!)
  • If this is really not your cup of tea, enlist friends/family to take up the challenge in your place – please pass on this mail to anyone you think may be willing to get involved.
  • If you can’t do either then please consider making a donation directly to the cause by visiting my fund raising website link at Virgin Money Giving (all of the proceeds go directly to WSPA, as they are commission free)

My aim is to get 40 people to abseil for each date (including myself of course!) which would raise a minimum total of £4000. This would make a HUGE difference to the work that WSPA would be able to do, if for example you know that it costs £100 to rescue an Orang-Utan and just £50 to feed one for two months. A small amount of this (£400 plus VAT) would go to the safety instructors for their time but at a much reduced rate.

If you are willing to get involved in the abseilling please contact me by e-mail and I will send you out full details and a sponsor form. Confirm back to me which slot you would like and which date/venue. Then, using the sponsor form attached, get to work finding people to sponsor you or you could just make the donation yourself, its entirely up to you!

PLEASE WOULD YOU LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO COMMIT TO ABSEIL BY THE 21ST JULY LATEST. This enables me to gauge numbers and to secure the services of our wonderful safety instructors. Please do commit to this once you agree as you can imagine it is two days out of our safety guys working week, that they could be earning their normal rates, plus it would be a real shame to turn away willing people if the sessions are seemingly full, only to find out too late that there are spaces available.

I will send out confimation to all of you that do commit, nearer the time of your abseil, to give you all the important details, like the venue address and parking, a list of who is attending and to remind you about the essentials!

If you would like to do the abseil and yet you are a first timer or a little apprehensive, please do give me a call or e-mail and we can talk further.

Thank you so much for reading and considering this post, I really hope you will be able to come along and enjoy a very special event for a very special purpose and help to make a positive difference on our precious planet. Thank you whether you choose to abseil, find others that will or donate directly, your efforts will be contributing to a very special and worthwhile cause.

Just one last thing to be aware of. I am away on holiday between the 4th and 14th July so please don’t worry if you don’t hear from me during these dates, rest assured I will contact you on my return!

Warm wishes,

Julie

Hello everyone, I am only just back from a trip to Russia and have found out that the planned clip has been delayed due to a high level of  media coverage about Josie coinciding with the original planned viewing.

The production team felt showing the piece on Monday may well have created an an unfair bias towards her, with regards to the whole eviction process.  The producer assures me they will be showing it but haven’t decided on a date yet.

As soon as I hear I will let you all know though. So sorry to those of you that showed up to watch, especially those of you that don’t like the show!

Much love and light to you, Julie XXX

Thanks to my very wonderful friend and fellow animal communicator, Michelle Childerley, I was offered the amazing opportunity today to be part of a film shoot today for Big Brother’s Little Brother  TV show!

One of the housemates, Josie, lives on a farm near Bristol and they asked if I would be able to communicate with some of her beloved animal friends to find out more about her! I really enjoyed the day and communicated with several wonderful souls including Trevor the goose, Robby and Belle, Welsh ponies (Section C) and Buster the Shitzu dog.

If you’d like to watch it it will be screened on Monday 21st June at 6pm (BST) on E4 and you can also see if after that time by viewing it at their website for a good few days after at;

http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/

It is a wonderful opportunity to spread the message on a much wider scale, that animals are souls with a reason for being here, wisdom to share with us and love that shows us how to love each other. Oh, and that some of them adore being on camera too, check out Buster!

Sending much love to you all.  Julie XXX

Dear All,

I’ve just seen this on our Facebook page shared by a wonderful lady called Belinda, thank you so much.

This video shares a really moving story of a rescue mission, rehoming the most magnificent lions from hell on earth to much closer to heaven on earth (given where we still are as a race).

This moved me to tears, of happiness for the lions, of admiration for the people doing this work, the wonderful Animal Defenders International and PAWS, and with sadness for the way humanity has abused and still abuses our precious co-species. There is SO much work we need to do to re-balance our precious planet and all the kingdoms on it. The animal kingdom having such a special place in our hearts, of course.

Enjoy and share. Thank you. XXX

Hello everyone, my wonderful friend and soul sister Tracey has just sent this gorgeous video clip over to me and I couldn’t resist sharing it with you!

I didn’t know that otter pups had to be taught how to swim, I assumed they just knew innately! WRONG!!

It’s a great lesson for us to remember that we all have to learn and that takes time, effort and perseverence, as you’ll see demonstrated by the beautiful pup and her mother in the video.

Enjoy the short film and do let me know your comments, it’ll be great to hear from you. Have a great weekend. Much love and blessings. XXXXX

Good morning to you, trust all is well in your world this day.  Trust you will enjoy this video link, I am fascinated by this amazing ladies view on the world of animals. We have so much to learn from her and of course our animal relatives…

This fascinating video clip shows the wonderful Temple Grandin explaining how the world needs different kinds of thinking. She talks about how her autism has opened her world to offer amazing insights to others, in many ways, including how to more humanely handle cattle.

She is brilliant. Quite simply. Enjoy. XXX

Dear Animal Communicators,

My friend passed on this story today about an amazing relationship between a Costa Rican man Chito and his animal companion Pocho.  I attach the story and then a brief video clip.

I am a big fan of Steve Irwin and the very important animal conservation work that he achieved in his lifetime, which his family is continuing.  I recommend the book Steve and Me, written by Terri Irwin, his wife.  He shows us that a lot of the challenges we have with our animal relatives are just as much to do with the beliefs and attitude WE have about them and the fact that for the longest of times humans have made themselves the enemy of many, many animal species.

With compassion, patience, love and effort this man shows us a wonderful example of how we could be with other species, especially ones that we have feared and believed to be man killers and nothing more….  Thank you Chito and Pocho and thank you to Steve Irwin, in spirit and his amazing family.  Enjoy…

IF you thought the legend of the horse whisperer was impressive, here’s an animal tale with even more bite.
Rather than trying to tame wild stallions, fearless Costa Rican fisherman Chito prefers a playful wrestle in the water with his best pal Pocho – a deadly 17ft crocodile. The 52-year-old daredevil draws gasps of amazement from onlookers by wading chest-deep into the water, then whistling for his 980lb buddy – and giving him an affectionate hug.  
Crazy Chito says: “Pocho is my best friend. This is a very dangerous routine but we have a good relationship. He will look me in the eye and not attack me. “It is too dangerous for anyone else to come in the water. It is only ever the two of us.”  
Chito made friends with the croc after finding him with a gunshot wound on the banks of the Central American state’s Parismina river 20 years ago. He had been shot in the left eye by a cattle farmer and was close to death. But Chito enlisted the help of several pals to load the massive reptile into his boat. He says: “When I found Pocho in the river he was dying, so I brought him into my house.  
  
 
“He was very skinny, weighing only around 150lb I gave him chicken and fish and medicine for six months to help him recover.
“I stayed by Pocho’s side while he was ill, sleeping next to him at night.. I just wanted him to feel that somebody loved him, that not all humans are bad. “It meant a lot of sacrifice. I had to be there every day. I love all animals – especially ones that have suffered.”  
It took years before Chito felt that Pocho had bonded with him enough to get closer to the animal. He says: “After a decade I started to work with him. At first it was slow, slow. I played with him a bit, slowly doing more. “Then I found out that when I called his name he would come over to me.” At one point during his recovery, Chito left the croc in a lake near his house. But as he turned to walk away, to his amazement Pocho got out of the water and began to follow him home.


Chito recalls: “That convinced me the crocodile could be tame.” But when he first fearlessly waded into the water with the giant reptile his family was so horrified they couldn’t bear to watch. So instead, he took to splashing around with Pocho when they were asleep.
Four years ago Chito showed some of his tricks to friends, including getting the animal to close his eyes on command, and they convinced him to go public with a show.


Now he swims and plays with Pocho as well as feeding him at the lake near his home in the lowland tropical town of Sarapiqui .
The odd couple have now become a major tourist attraction, with several tour operators, including Crocodile Adventures, taking visitors on touring cruises to see the pair. On the Crocodile Adventures website it describes the spectacle as: “One of the most amazing things that no cruise ship passenger will want to miss, the adventure show between the man and the crocodile.” 
 
American crocodiles, which inhabit North, Central and South America , can live to around 70 years old. It is estimated that Pocho is around 50 – almost the same age as his owner. They are also said to be less aggressive than their Nile or Australian counterparts.
Chito, whose real name is Gilberto Shedden, was given hi nickname by friends, who also call him “Tarzan Tico” – Tico being a familiar word for a Costa Rican..

A keen conservationist, he also offers boat tours, where he eagerly points out a variety of wildlife. But he only charges a few dollars to watch the breathtaking crocodile show, claiming he does not want to cash in on Pocho. He says: “He’s my friend, I don’t want to treat him like a slave or exploit him. “I am happy because I rescued him and he is happy with me because he has everything he needs.”

Dear Animal Communicators,

I have been reading and learning about the decline in bee numbers across the world.  I am fascinated to hear your views on why this is happening and what the human race should be doing about it. 

From the bees perspective it is reasonable to assume that they have been treated pretty poorly by humans, from the general dislike of stinging creatures, to use of pesticides and other harmful chemicals, to the systematic taking of their honey for our own profits and consumption…  Let’s send out a message of love and compassion to all bees, please stay with us!  Take a look at this short trailer if you are interested in learning more.  Love and blessings, Julie XXXXX
