Have you ever felt so frustrated and unsure of what to do next and you wish there would just be a sign to point you in the right direction? I remember feeling that way, MANY times, where it seemed everything I was doing was coming up short. I couldn’t figure out how to get the answers I was seeking, and everything just felt wrong. I so desperately wanted a sign to show me the right way forward. What I didn’t know then that I know now is how to access my inner guidance and how to be quiet and observe the world around me – there are actually signs EVERYWHERE and the Universe gives you guidance all the time.
As I began to hear and listen to that inner guidance and I started studying life coaching, I was introduced to many gifted coaches and teachers. One of the most delightful has been Sarah Seidelmann. Sarah is brilliantly intelligent, unabashedly freaky, joy-inspiring and joy-filled. I loved hearing her story of how she went from working as a pathologist to pursuing her passion of being a life coach, and when I first heard her speak about animal totems, “Beasties,” as she calls them, I was both intrigued and skeptical.
After following her work, reading her book, What the Walrus Knows, as well as doing some additional research on my own, I’ve come to enjoy spotting beasties that show up in my life and learning about what messages they bring. And now there’s an app! Sarah has created a fun and informative iPhone or iPad app for What the Walrus Knows. The app gives you the ability to look up the symbolism of a beastie when you’re on the go, as well as providing a fun divination tool and helpful guidance on finding your spirit animal.
Sarah has generously given me two books and two promotional codes for the app to give away. I’ll draw four lucky winners from my commenters. To enter, simply share your favorite animal and explain why it’s your favorite. Specify in your comment if you’d like the book or the app (or either). I’ll randomly select the winners on Friday, Oct 5th.
