By Dulcy & Dee Ready
The purpose of each habit is to become a part of a healthy, happy life for both cat and human. When each of these practices becomes habit, the result is total happiness, which Dulcy calls bliss.
A
remarkable pair, Dulcy and Dee Ready have written their second book together.
Their first book, A Cat’s Life: Dulcy’s Story introduced us to not only
Dulcy, but also to Dee.
As
is their relationship, this book is unique. Each chapter offers practical,
common sense advice to cats by Dulcy, and to humans by Dee. The advice is
wisely called “habits”. The habits are simple, and easily to applied to daily
life.
The purpose of each habit is to become a part of a healthy, happy life for both cat and human. When each of these practices becomes habit, the result is total happiness, which Dulcy calls bliss.
The
first habit is “Practice Being Unique”. In this, we are encouraged to embrace
who we are and our place in the world. Unfortunately, this is never realized by
many. It is an integral piece of the puzzle of life. Once this is done, the rest
of the pieces fall can into place.
The
second habit is to “Discover Your Heartwish”. Many indeed struggle with this,
never truly knowing what makes them happy. Again, you must first know and
accept yourself.
Habits
that follow these include choosing loved ones wisely. Much time and energy is
wasted on chasing unrequited love, in many forms. While we need to “love one
another” and respect all others, we need to choose special love with cautious
reservation.
In
this special book are more habits to succeed. Dulcy and Dee each add a voice to
grieving, listening, acceptance, and other aspects of living life successfully.
A must for cat lovers it is beautifully written, and meant to be read often. I
am sure that I will do just that.

Oooh! This sounds like an awesome book! I need to send it to my daughter who adores her furkids and is still working out her own life! I'd love to read it too! What a clever way to present life's truths, and isn't it true how intertwined creation is, what's good for us is also good for the creature that we love! Great review, adding to my "must read and share" list!

Hi Ann, thanks for dropping by my blog with your kind words. How nice of you.
ReplyDeleteI've been browsing a few blogs here and there and left a few comments but I'm still not in full swing yet. Haying season is upon us early this year and the the crop of hay is good and the weather is cooperating so it's been a busy time here on the farm.
This book sounds like a very good read.
I hope that your foot is healing well and that you'll have a great weekend.
Hugs, JB
