❝ ... these special animals come into our lives and, together,
we make each other's life better. ❞
Prologue. The idea for this book arose from some meditations and musings on the role Miss Lilly had played in my life. She kept me alive through some very dark times, but she also made my life better. She's still teaching me as I've pondered the ways these special animals come into our lives and, together, we make each other's life better.
Drawn Together. While we animal lovers care about animals in general, we are inexplicably drawn to certain individuals in particular, and we form deep and lasting connections with them. These very special ones come into our lives and change everything, mostly because they change us.
Better Together. Loving them, and being loved in return, makes us feel good, and that changes everything. When we feel good, we are more creative and confident; we know what to do, when to act, and when to wait; our health, well-being, and all of our relationships improve... In short, we are filled with love and clarity, peace and power.
Better by Choice. But for most of us, these uplifting moments with our animals are accidental and fleeting. Once we realize the tremendous power and practical value of feeling good, we can choose to cultivate and harness these wonderful moments and use them to create and shape the life we want.
Welcome!
These pages introduce Dr Christine King's upcoming book,
Better Together
how the animals we love can inspire our creativity and transform our shared lives
Better in Return. In return, our animals' lives are made better, their health and well-being improved, because they too thrive on feeling good, particularly on feeling loved and cherished by us. So, all of this works to our mutual benefit.
