Travels with Max

How My Dog Unleashed My Life

About the Book:  Letter to the Reader from the book.

Dear Reader,

 

Welcome to our story.  It is a true story of our life, and we hope that you find something in it that supports your life journey as well.

 

I adopted Max, my wonderful yellow Lab, in 2004, and he completely changed or “unleashed” my life.  Because of him, I moved to a new town, learned to drive a 33 foot motorhome by myself, had a number of challenging adventures, and basically learned to face my fears and accept whatever came into my life with grace and gratitude.

 

He truly changed my life, and only for the better.  Our journey together has taught me so many things, and has made my life so much richer and more peaceful.   He took me from a place where I was struggling to understand who and what I was, to a place where I live my life from my heart.

 

Our journeys together also opened my mind and heart to an awareness of a power bigger than myself, which I have come to call divine consciousness.  I have come to believe that every experience we have in life is designed to bring us closer to our own personal connection with the divine.  Every experience—whether we perceive it as positive or negative—is still a teacher for us in this regard. 

 

We hope that you will share with us your reactions to the book, and insights regarding your own personal journey.  We are all traveling this road called life together, and it would be nice to support one another along the way.

 

In Peace and Gratitude,

 

Janet and Max
