$50 Gift Card Give-Away from Guest Author of Furry Philosophy and Memoirs Set in Stone:Jodi Jarvis-Therrian

Today it is our most sincere pleasure and honor to have Jodi Jarvis-Therrian as our guest blogger.  Cody and I had the pleasure of connecting with Jodi through author Elizabeth Parker, (Dakota reviewed nearly ALL of her books), and Jodi has recently released HER first book:Furry Philosophy and Memoirs Set in Stone. Jodi also creates exquisite memory stones, which you can read about below. It is our pleasure to introduce you to Jodi Jarvis -Therrian, our new and dear, dear friend!!! Take it away Jodi!!!

I would like to thank Caren very much for asking me to guest  blog for her! It is quite an honor to be  her guest!

 I believe anyone who has ever loved a pet has felt this way! If only their life span was as long as ours.

I think I was put here on this earth to help others who love their pets as much as I do, cope with the loss of their pet and CELEBRATE their lives.

     With all my heart, I believe that our pets come to this earth to teach us our greatest lessons, and help us through the rough spots.I would like to share some of the wisdom passed on to me by the amazing animals that are present,  and from those that  have passed through my life,  in my book: Furry Philosphy and Memoirs Set in Stone.

The wisdom they have shared with me is a true gift I hope to share with you. This wisdom comes in many forms, some of the memories evoke  laughter, joy,  and yes, even heartbreak, but above all---they convey: unconditional love. I hope these stories will not only brighten your day, but also help those of you that have lost a furry friend. I hope these stories help you to heal, by knowing others  feel that same kind of unconditional love, and know that we all understand how hard it is to lose that love.

    These are stories of not only the lives of furry friends that have affected my life,  there are also stories of other precious furry lives from people far and wide. I have included each story in their original form, as they were submitted to me, each very different, special, and unique, like the precious lives they honor. 

Included are photos showing furry friends, and  memories made into loving art, portraying a special story or memory. Some of these animals are still with us in this world and their fur was added to the piece of art work, and some are in the next world, and may have ashes or fur lovingly added inside to honor their special lives with love.

  

      I am grateful that I am allowed to do what I love , write and create art to help others celebrate LIFE and honor it!. I think that is what life is all about, taking the gifts we are given, and honoring those gifts by sharing them with others.

I take pride in helping people by doing what I love, and creating unique art tailor-made to their specific memories. I love to hear  the various stories of the people who contact me, and I would love to hear YOUR stories, and work together one-on-one to create the perfect piece to portray the memories that resonate with you. I can incorporate some fur if your beloved pet is still with us , ashes if they are not. I can make a glass piece from a photo, as shown in some of the photos included above and below.

 It is so hard to lose a cherished pet,  but we have to CELEBRATE THAT LIFE NOW AND WHEN IT IS GONE , remember the wise words by that insightful 'ol bear Winnie the Pooh, How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. Jodi Jarvis-Therrian

"Broken heart rainbow bridge pendant , the heart is to represent the love for our fur friends , the crack is obviously for how it breaks our heart when they go , the rainbow color is to represent the rainbow bridge where we know they will go and be happy and pain free until we see them again"

"The passing of a loved one or a pet can leave such an emptiness . I have unfortunately experienced this emptiness and wish to help others who have too. To help bring peace and keep the loved ones memories close to our heart in a beautiful way, I use a small portion of the loved ones' ashes, hair or fur and fuse them with fine quality glass."
