New projects

So I am home from an awesome vacation and could not be more grateful for having the time to relax and enjoy, share memories and make memories with my family, and get started on some great new projects. I am still in that technical learning stage and can not seem to get the video of the Bay Bridge uploaded as it is in the wrong format. (anyone know how to convert formats ??) Oh well, onward and upward.

I was quite happy to complete my first childrens book while I was away. Now it's off to seek out a publisher. Wish me luck...

As my nephew has heard me say there is no such thing as luck. Right? Right! It is about mindset. If you know deep down inside that you are lucky; if you FEEL deep down inside lucky, then you can create what seems to be luck. Likewise if you know and feel unlucky then that is what you will create as well.

Take this concept out into the real world (wait I thought this was the real world). Apply it to the upcoming day. Go to bed the night before and see the next day being filled with things that are good. You catch the traffic lights, you find that premier parking space, etc. Wake up in the morning with such a feeling of gratitude for a great day ahead. Get out of bed and smile and know that good things happen to you all the time. This is the beginning of your ability to create that "luck".

On my last day of vacation, I was explaining to my nephew how he could help himself in baseball by doing visualization practice. I was coaching him on visualizing hitting a home run. At one point my younger nephew chimed in he wanted to visualize a donut. I told him to think and focus on it, taste it, smell it and really feel like he has a donut. Later that day we stopped at a family members home that we had not seen in years. After a little lunch she brought out dessert. I bet you have no idea what was for dessert? You guessed it, there were donuts right there in front of my nephew! The power of the mind. Makes you wonder just how great life could be if you monitored what you thought more often...

A Summer Vacation

I am sitting here in our cabin at Cherrystone Campground. I decided I actually needed a vacation and my family was doing just that. We drove up to Virginia and crossed the amazing Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. The campground is just a few more miles after that. I have been catching up on my rest and relaxation, doing some light reading (Evolve Your Brain by Joe Dispenza), and writing my next few projects. It has been great to spend time with the crew. I will get some nice footage of the Bay bridge to post shortly.

The volunteers at the shelter have been doing an amazing job at keeping things running smoothly especially while I am away. Jan is making great progress with our shy boy Kito. I am so grateful to have the people I do and can't thank them enough. If you are looking for a fun place to volunteer, please give us a shout

Once I return I will hit the ground running. The blogging will increase as well I will be keeping Facebook up to date. I am looking forward to adding weekly lessons and tips on the blog as our new tag line is "Peace and Harmony From Canines To Humans" . So stay tuned, spread the word and let's get ready to rock!
-Peace & Harmony

Well Hellllooooo again everyone!

Wow, it seems like I closed my eyes to go to sleep one day and I woke up months later already in the middle of 2010! Can you believe that? If you know me, you know how I burn that candle at both ends but I am excited to get back on the blog track and keep you updated on "What's goin' on with Kim Kapes.

If you haven't seen the new look on the web site, go take a gander. Kimkapes.com is almost totally polished. We have some things to fix up yet including a new great logo on the home page but the look is really neat and easy to navigate. I would still love your suggestions. Let me know at kimkapes@gmail.com.

So towards the end of last year the animal rescue was involved in helping some seriously neglected and mistreated wolf dogs. Check out the link and the story. Justice and Tiny Tim (our new names for two great woofers) are living happily now at the shelter. Come on by to visit. They would love the hugs. Click to read Big Tampa Rescue.

After Justice and Tiny Tim settled in, the Universe decided to send me one of those divine disasters. For that great news story click to read Kim and the Horse. I am feeling great now and am so thankful to everyone who came to my aid. I made some wonderful new friends, reconnected with old ones, got some much needed assistance at the rescue and realized just how important it is to be very precise in what you are asking the Universe for.

I want to say to a very special friend who has left the physical Universe and transitioned onto her next spiritual journey that I miss you dearly. I know you are close and I thank you for the time I shared with you! Creative Carrie, your the tops!

For those who live by the motto "Life is an adventure", my time in Boca Raton will surely keep me in that club. Back in May I adopted one of our younger dogs to a great family. Coco was going to be a "Boca Girl". Well, so we thought. Coco had other ideas. The first night with the new family became the start of my adventure. Coco got out of the yard and was lost in a very unfamiliar place. After commuting to Boca to search for three days I decided to stay down South. We had been getting reported sightings on her that kept our hopes strong. After another two days of driving, looking catching an hour or so of sleep, driving looking.... I finally spotted her. That took my adventure to the next level. A vacation in the woods of Boca. I literally went into a forested area to track her down and stayed there on my borrowed little beach chair for another five nights. I baited her in an area where I was able to set up a small camp and on day six was honored to bring the little girl back home safely. Melanie and Jorge (the attempted owners) were so instrumental in helping keep me in stock with water and food and any other supplies I might need. Jorge, that toilet paper really was appreciated!! Not only was this an adventure but this was in essence a vision quest for myself. The story is a great one and I will be working to get it into production very shortly.



I guess I have caught you up to date for the most part so from here on out I can go back to posting our regular happenings around the rescue. As you can read it seems that nothing is that simple or that regular with me. It is ALL GOOD THOUGH! I am happy and grateful to call all of you my friends and until next time, Peace and Harmony.
