Call Paul to help simplify the complicated. 541-517-7362 Paul Henrichs ~ Independent Agent coverage4oregon@gmail.com "The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind." — William James “ I have lived with several Zen masters — all of them cats.” Eckhart Tolle, author of ‘The Power of Now’. Arielle grew up in Florida with a variety of dogs and cats, and on the opposite coast, Brian grew up on an Oregon farm, “... loving animals almost more than people.” How on a planet of seven bil- lion people could they have met other than through destiny and a cat that sealed the deal! “When I was 43 years old,” explains Arielle, “one morn- ing, I woke up, reached out and stroked my 25-pound Tux- edo cat, JB, and realized with a start that I had forgotten to get married! I decided to do some- thing about it, so I wrote up a list of my “desires” in a loving soul mate and got a hug bless- ing from Amma, ‘the hugging saint’, one of India’s foremost spiritual leaders, to clear out past emotional blocks. At the time, I was the pub- licist for the best selling book, ‘The Messengers’. The author brought his business partner, Brian, to a TV appearance. When I saw Brian, I experienced a soul-knowing reaction. Brian experienced the same.” “I started dreaming about Ar- ielle,” said Brian, “three weeks before I met her and afterwards found out that at that time, she had received a blessing from Amma.” “It felt like we had known each other for many lifetimes,” added Arielle. “We ‘recognized’ each other like the actor, Warren Beatty, did his love in the 1978 movie ‘Heaven Can Wait’. Brian had to pass two litmus tests to see if he was ‘the one’. The fi rst was the approval of my beloved JB, who rarely liked anyone I dated. If JB approved of Brian, then we could ‘offi - cially’ be together.” Brian, unaware of the tests said, “When I arrived at Ari- elle’s home I was elated that she had a pet! I walked in, saw the cat, and lay on the fl oor beside him, and we began playing.” “I was thrilled,” said Arielle, “He passed the fi rst test with fl ying colors! The other test involved author and speaker Deepak Chopra and his wife, Rita, who are close friends. When I told Deepak that I was serious about Brian, he jok- ingly quipped, ‘Only if my wife agrees can you keep him’. Luckily, Rita, also gave Brian two paws up too! We were en- gaged three weeks later, and married a year later. Brian and JB developed the strongest bond I have witnessed between a cat and ‘his’ purrs-on, and until JB lost all his nine lives, they were inseparable. Comically, JB’s favorite ‘hangout’ was in our bathtub.” Typically, the spiritual couple that never follows “the norm” had three marriages purr- formed. Because they honor all spiritual rituals, practices, and traditions, they felt inclined to confi rm their love in many ways. The fi rst nuptial was a Hindu Ceremony purr-formed by Amma, who was instrumen- tal in starting Arielle on her healing-heart journey that at- tracted her soul mate. “Right after her hug,” said Arielle, “I began dreaming of Brian. This is why I recognized him at the TV shoot.” Then their friend and musi- cian Kenny Loggins offi ciated and sang at their humor-fi lled second ceremony. Not many people have Kenny as their ‘wedding singer’ but Arielle was his publicist and he was embarking on a big book and record project. Their third wedding was a Celtic event, known as a “pagan hand-fasting” on top of a moun- tain. “Our cats are an integral part of our lives,” said Brian. “So it was fi tting that Arielle’s and my fi rst project together as literary agents was for the best selling Courtesy Photo When Brian met Arielle, he had no idea that he had to jump through hoops, placed before him by her cat, before Arielle would date him! Here they are with their “God Dawgs” Cooper (in the back) and his son, Maverick. book, “Angel Animals.” JB was a spiritually enlight- ened cat who joined us in medi- tations. We nicknamed him ‘Buddha kitty’. “Amelia Kinkaide is the Queen of England’s pet psychic for her horses,” said Arielle, “and one of JB’s biggest fans. When JB was 13 years old, we found out he had terminal cancer. Amelia told us ...’not to worry because he will quickly return to you.’ “She was right. A few weeks after JB died, I had a dream where a black and white kitten said, ‘Come get me Saturday at 11 a.m.. I am at the animal shel- ter.’ I told Brian, and he said, ‘Then we better go!’ At 11 a.m. we walked into the shelter, and right by the door was a tuxedo kitten named Felix. When we brought Felix home, he bound into the bathroom and jumped into our bathtub! ‘JB was back’ in his favorite hang- out! We currently have two inside kitties, Yoda and Felix. Felix is an enlightened master, but Yoda is a young soul, a pleasure pig, who insists on belly rubs at 3 a.m.! Our two outside cats, Ba- nana Spaceman, a marauding neighbor’s cat, named by ‘his’ human children, purr-furs our quiet backyard and Rocky, a feral cat, lives between the cat treats at our home and the local taco stand where he receives all the tacos he wants. “We can‘t imagine life with- out our cats,” chimed the couple in unison. Brian adds, “I’ve read and loved ‘Pet Tips ‘n’ Tales’ for years along with all the beauti- ful-heart expanding pictures. Thank you for featuring our family!” Arielle and her ever watch- ful furry muses are fi nishing her 10th book, ‘Turn Your Mate Into Your Soul Mate’. (www.soulma- tesecret.com) Her book series is the journey of their relationship. But, her cats are the ‘soul’ stars of this article! TIPS Arielle’s favorite books are David Michie’s fi ctional series of ‘The Dalai Lama’s Cats’, in- cluding his newest book, “The Power of Meow”. davidmichie. com Tell us your pet’s tale. angelscribe@msn.com “Follow” Pet Tips ‘n’ Tales on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/ PetTipsandTales Adopt Loving Pets www.PetFinder.com Humane Society for Neuter/ Spay Assistance Program.
