Hello folx,

Are you and Kindred a good match?

If you’re familiar with my work, you’ve heard me talk a lot about the online true kinship with animals membership community Kindred. I do that because it’s important.

Our world is changing, giving animals and humans the opportunity to co-create a new way of relationship with each species standing in their own agency. We need each other for this, we can’t do it separately. How can that not be important?

Who Is Kindred For?

It’s for folx who want to decolonize their relationship with animals and relate to them through a new place of understanding, one of kinship with instead of power over.

More Specifically……..

• You are community minded and flourish with community support

• You enjoy collaboration

• You delight in in-depth discussions and potential rabbit holes

• You want to grow your relationship with animals in a way that is sustainable and doable in your life

• You appreciate how community interaction can help you shift old mindsets and introduce you to new ones

• You benefit from guidance and feedback from someone who has been in your shoes - me and other members

Who Is Kindred Not For?

Kindred is not for everyone and that’s OK. It’s a good thing to know what doesn’t work for you at this moment in time.

Kindred may not be for you if you’re:

• Already connected with a group that meets your needs

• Independent

• Like self study

• Self - directed

Interview With Dr. Natalie Dennis, DVM

I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Natalie Dennis, DVM, as part of the research for my upcoming book. Dr. Dennis is a veterinarian with over eight years of experience helping pets and their families through end-of-life care, euthanasia, and the grief that follows. Her mission is to bring peace, comfort, understanding, and dignity to this sacred part of the human-animal bond, for the animal and the human that loves them. In the interview she said:

“[Death] is part of life and sometimes we really try to disregard that; but it’s just as big a part of life as birth and celebrating every year that we’re still on this Earth and alive.”

You also get to post comments, join discussions and participate in a community of like minded folx.

A Note On Notes

Substack has a social media type place where we can gather in community, interact and where you’ll find announcements. If you’ve not been there yet, give it a look-see! It’s called Notes. The latest note asks what thoughts you’ve give helping folx and their animal family members with the impact of the tariffs starting to happen. Click the pic below to see it in full &/or respond. Thanks!

Reciprocity Supports My Free Online Work & Writing Time

Did you know your financial support sustains my free online work and writing time? The writing journey continues, growing in fervor as the need for this book becomes more clear daily. Why the need?

Because it is past time we claim our grief for animal family members in ways that meet the animals’ and our needs instead of meeting the needs of a society that culturally and historically denies and avoids death.

I am looking for folx who believe this to be true and are willing to become backers on my writing project and my free online work. Is that you? Your support frees me from spinning between financial worries and guilt when creating and/or writing is stopped so financial needs can be met. If you are able to reciprocate financially, here are 4 ways to choose from - easy for you and they make a huge difference for me.
