About Purrs, Barks and Tweets with Love

Welcome to Purrs, Barks and Tweets with Love, a sanctuary dedicated to celebrating the profound, transformative bond between humans and the animal realm. In this space, we honor a love that knows no bounds—a devotion that radiates from our loyal household companions, the majestic residents of the wild, those living in captivity, and the spirits of animals across the globe. This unconditional connection is a frequency that can be felt from thousands of miles away, transcending geography and species alike. Each week, I invite you to sit with me as I share the wisdom gathered from a decade of deep connection with these marvelous beings. Through the stillness of meditation, the magic of face-to-face encounters, and the subtle power of animal energy healing, I have developed a signature practice of Animal Reiki that I am honored to share with you. Together, we will embark on a journey of discovery to uncover why animals are such incredible, enlightened teachers. Their presence is a mirror, showing us how to evolve into the highest versions of ourselves. Whether you currently share your home with a beloved animal companion or carry the memory of a special soul who once walked by your side, this podcast is your home. Prepare to have your heart warmed and your mind expanded by the extraordinary power of animal love. Join me every week as we listen to the stories and embrace the wisdom of our animal teachers who paved the way to a better world.

   Lighthouse Sanctuary: safe haven for over 300 animals

   In this episode, Stephanie Stefan shares her heartfelt experiences at Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the welfare of neglected and abused animals. Through her stories, she highlights the profound lessons of trust, friendship, and resilience learned from the animals, while also encouraging listeners to support the sanctuary's mission. Website (https://Lighthousefarmsanctuary.org) Message from the Non profit running the sanctuary: The sanctuary mortgage is due in January 2027 and we need to pay it off to ensure that the animals can keep their home. So today we are launching the biggest fundraising campaign in Lighthouse history. We must raise $162,000 to pay off the mortgage and secure the future of the sanctuary. While this is a big goal, we’re excited to share that we have some tremendous help to get us to the finish line: a group of generous supporters have pledged $50,000 in matching funds to kick off the campaign and help us reach our goal! This is your chance to make twice the impact for the animals - e (https://us.list-manage.com/NpPYspq6n2a?e=83ceaccebd&c2id=061928ddc09caa286b814a1401ce1998)very dollar you give will be doubled  (https://us.list-manage.com/WP57PWAMyRK?e=83ceaccebd&c2id=061928ddc09caa286b814a1401ce1998)up to $50,000 bringing us one step closer to making Lighthouse a permanent home for more that 300 rescued animals. Once the mortgage is paid, the land will be 100% owned by the nonprofit sanctuary, rather than the individual people running it. This means that these 54 acres will belong to Lighthouse, protected for the rescued animals who live here now and for the animals who will need a safe place to call home in the future. We are currently 100% volunteer-run. Which means that every dollar raised through this campaign will go toward paying off the mortgage, securing the land for the animals. Generous gifts from our donors made outside of this campaign will still help the humans who volunteer their time for the sanctuary to cover monthly costs of feeding and caring for our animals. We know that costs are rising, all while animals still need safety and care. Much like your own household expenses, costs at the sanctuary are rising, from bales of hay to veterinary care to preparing for natural disasters. The sooner the mortgage is paid off, the more every dollar raised from our community can be directed to cover day-to-day expenses and rising costs, keeping our animals safe and comfortable long into the future. Will you make a donation today to secure the home for more than 300 rescued animals?  (https://us.list-manage.com/prjbWoOhQcK?e=83ceaccebd&c2id=061928ddc09caa286b814a1401ce1998) All donations are MATCHED up to $50,000! Over the years, Lighthouse has provided kindness and care for thousands of animals when they needed it most. This is the power of sanctuary and over the next few months, we’ll be sharing stories about the many animals living their best days at Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary, as well as opportunities to help us reach our goal of paying off our mortgage January 1, 2027. We’ve spent two decades building this sanctuary with the community and now we have the incredible opportunity to make sure we can continue this work for decades to come. Help us make sure this land belongs to the animals. (https://us.list-manage.com/FHg0DgGfjZ9?e=83ceaccebd&c2id=061928ddc09caa286b814a1401ce1998) Forever.
