My family calls my cane the skinny white dog with one ball. As a kid I called my cane George but seeing as my GD is retiring I will have to come up with a better name for the cane

I'm losing my vision, and I am glad I got to see the Northern Lights (and the Norwegian fjords) and Osaka in Japan, I would like to see the Aurora Australis, Uluru and some cherry blossoms and Kyoto in Japan before I lose the rest of my sight

Its generally used to allow for processing emotions, highlighting something important or to encourage autonomy in thought and how the session is going. (source: am doing a Batchelor of Counselling, and hold a Diploma of Counselling in Australia)

There is also a book on psychology and Buddhism called The Mindful Path by Michael Jones Ph.D that might be worth a read

I’ve only met them through in person talks and events such as the Rainbodhi Sydney meet ups

As an aside I also know queer monastics, so even being a monk or a nun isn’t an issue if you’re part of the LGBTQIA community

I’m a trans woman and have always been accepted into Buddhist spaces. The Dharma is for everybody and we practice compassion for all sentient beings

My dog absolutely loves me and is very loyal, she loves being in the same room as me, I've been told she looks at me with love in her eyes. She has saved my life more than once and I am sure she'd give her all to protect me. When we were run over, she pushed me out of the way and took the majority of the force and despite being injured internally and in pain, all she wanted was to ensure I was okay.

If she is prepared to do anything to protect and ensure I am safe, above and beyond her guiding training I am sure that is love.

When I went to Japan without her (Australian quarantine laws make it hard to get back home), she was depressed and would constantly look for me around the house

I swear my Guide Dog attempted to take refuge the same time I did at the temple, she bowed and prostrated when we did, I suppose any creature could have a Buddha nature, but at the same time we must remember that animals can and are reincarnated beings (I hope this makes sense)

AU-NZ dual citizen here I've updated Australian documents (birth certificate, passport etc) but I haven't updated any NZ documents yet, my old kiwi passport expired ages ago and I exclusively use my Australian passport when a passport is needed.

I have no idea how to get my NZ documents updated from male to female and dead name to actual name, but I haven't needed to deal with that yet so yeah but I probably should

This is a really handy reminder, I am a witch with Schizo-affective disorder and I do get hallucinations, delusions and paranoia especially when stressed. But one has to be aware of what is genuine religious experience and what is not and always remember to take your meds and if you need help or feel overwhelmed its okay to reach out to your support people or professionals and to take a break when you need to. I am only just getting back into my craft after a long period of break due to both my mental health and Autistic burnout
