Editor’s Compass
by Penelope Smith

I’m excited by the evolution in Species Link as new ideas for improvements are implemented.

Our formerly titled, Guest Feature, now called, In Service, emphasizes enhancing the effectiveness of our service to all life using interspecies telepathic communication. In this issue, we focus on Handling Disasters with contributions from animal communicators,Mary Getten and Nancy Windheart, along with wisdom from former co-director of Findhorn Community, David Spangler. Each writer gives a different angle on activism with practical tips to help us respond effectively to catastrophes.

I was touched by the many responses to the article about the passing of my dear friend, 22-year-old Master Sherman orange tabby cat, from many people who either knew him personally or were moved by his story. A sample of these heartfelt messages is included in our Letters section.

Animal communicators, Bonnie Strange and Joan Fox, share their inspiring experiences in AC Adventures. Their stories reveal a dog’s clue to past life connection with his human family and a remarkable hawk mentor.

The Voice of Experience column focuses on what to do when our animal companions take on our problems and sheds light on the choices animals have when they are threatened by illness or sudden death.

When our Featured Animal Communicator, Cathy Currea, tells about her early telepathic influences leading toward her career in animal communication, we discover very intriguing psychic threads not found in most children’s lives.

Catriona MacGregor’s practical guide, Partnering with Nature and animal communicator, Laila del Monte’s, Psychic Communication with Animals for Health and Healing are featured in our Reviews section.

Sanctuary Spotlight will warm your heart when you read of the loving rehabilitation of New World monkeys at Pacific Primate Sanctuary in Hawaii. The faces in our cover photo speak of the kindness and care the monkeys receive at this special place.

Our back cover Inspirations touches our spirits with a voice of Nature speaking through Barbara Janelle, and a beautiful prayer by Caroline Cory for animal, planet, and mineral life on our ofttimes besieged planet.
