Below is an interview with my dear friend, coach, and teacher for 40 years, Dafydd Nicholas. He and his wife Rannette Nicholas (who passed in December 2015) are two of the most loving, kindest and generous people I have ever met and been lucky to know. Funny, too. We laugh a lot and he has always encouraged me to GO FOR MY DREAMS. A magical man, coach and teacher. What can I say, he touches my heart and funny bone often at the same time ! He is brilliant and has supported me through the death of my father, to heal chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and showed me many times how to look UP while down and so much more.
“Spread loving laughter! Kindness heals.” Dafydd

The Animal Doctor by Dafydd Nicholas
written in honor of Abundance
Yes, he is an animal Doctor.
No, he does most of his work outside the vet’s office.
Yes, he seems to have a natural gift as a healer.
No, he charges very little for his service.
Yes, he has a great bedside manner.
No, he doesn’t explain really what’s wrong.
Yes, he just fixes the pain and goes on.
No, I haven’t seen his license.
Yes, he does resonate in abundance.
No, I don’t know how many clients he has.
Yes, I’m really thankful he’s my doctor.
No, I’ve never seen his Doctor’s office.
Yes, I’d recommend his services to anyone.
No, he doesn’t require medical insurance.
Yes, it does sound too good to be true.
No, I am not mistaken.
Yes, he is my cat.
This poem was written one time after I shared with Dafydd how I had a tummyache one day and my cat Abundance came and sat down on my belly for awhile. When he got up, I realized that my stomach no longer hurt. Abundance was a truly amazing cat and so was his brother, Precious, rescued from the Animal Foundation in Las Vegas and lived with me for five years. Now, years later, they have both passed on. Abundance came and sat purring on my belly a few years ago in a dream, just to let me know that he was alive and doing fine on the other side.
