My name is Yamila. I am writing from the far east -- Taiwan. I wanted to tell you how your book has inspired me a lot. It has also helped me to come out of the my cat's death. I have been agonizing over his death.

My cat MiMi was a very beautiful white cat which tabby pattern on his tail and a bit of his face. I found him at the pet shop 10 years ago for adoption. He was only 2 months old. He was so scared that his body was shaking constantly. I took him home but he was too scared to trust any human beings. It took me 2 years for him to finally be able to trust people again. We had wonderful 10 years together.

I did not know he was sick until one morning, he passed out and wasn't breathing. I was so scared that I started giving him Reiki, sending him energy. He woke up and breathed again 5 min. later. But he was no longer walking anymore. I took him to the vet and found out that he was at his finally stage of diabetes. We tried every possible way to save him, but he died 4 days later on Dec 5, 2007. His sudden death caused a tremendous grief in the family. I was crying day and night and unable to go to work for a whole week. A month later, my grandmother passed away. For the last 2 months, I have been very very sad, and I blamed myself for not knowing he was sick, for not being able to read his signal that he wanted to come home and died at home. I constantly blamed myself.

I was devastated. Then accidentally I found something called animal communication on internet. I started to get into it. And I realized that is what I want to do. I want to be an animal communicator to help more animals. I signed up for a training course in Hong Kong which wilI be held on 23rd of this month. I bought some books about animal communication, and the first one I read was your book (I read it yesterday). I was on the subway when I read Tabby and her mom Lisa's story, my tears came down. It wasn't sadness. I felt like I meant to read this story. After I finished that story, I realized how I have been trying to let go of MiMi but wasn't able to. This story helped me to understand that MiMi has left me. He is here. Death doesn't mean everything finishes, it means another journey. And I know MiMi has taught me a very valuable lesson of "letting go".

This story of Tabby really inspired me much that I decided to translate it into Chinese and put in on my blog … I hope you don't mind me doing so.

This book has not yet being translated into Chinese. I have met many people are are agonizing over their pets' death, and I wanted them to read this story. I know this story can help them to understand more. I did make a remark that this story is translated from your book. I hope you don't mind). When I was translating the story, I could feel MiMi was sitting on my left shoulder and watching me working on the story. I could feel his presence. I have been trying to feel him for the past 2 months, but I was too sad to feel it. When I was translating the story, I felt so calm and I was being healed. I was able to "let go", that was when I felt MiMi's presence.

After finishing translating the story, I went to bed and using your technique to help MiMi to go to the other side. I called upon angels to help him. MiMi was so worry about me that he didn't want to go, but I assured him that I was fine, and I always love him and we shall meet soon. Then he walked into white light with angel. I felt so peaceful. That night I dreamt of MiMi (I only dreamt of MiMi once after he died, he was telling me to let go), in the dream, I was stroking him. And I knew when daylight came, he would be on his journey. I was happy and no longer being sad.

I really want to thank you for inspiring me, for helping me come out of the sadness. Now I have found my inner strength back, and I know I want to be a good animal communicator and help more animals in the future. Thank you Karen. Thank you for everything!

Love,

Yamila from Taiwan
