Reviews

"Animal Soul Contracts unravels the physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and mental connection that we unconsciously form with our animal friends that reinforces our “mirroring” of each other’s predispositions. Whereas animal whisperers merely help animals with people problems, Ms. Billups helps both in a holistic approach. Animal Soul Contracts is a new take in inter-species communication that affirms that our pets are unmistakably our equals."
*Vincent Dublado, Manhattan Book Review*

“Life changing! Animal Soul Contracts taught me how to connect with my dog in a way I’d never imagined possible. The pages herein offer enlightenment, opportunity, and the wisdom we all crave knowing by answering the questions, Why are we here? and Why did this animal come into my life? The answers are revealing!”
*Jennifer Skiff, author of The Divinity of Dogs, God Stories, and Rescuing Ladybugs*

“Get ready for a paradigm shift! This book will change the way you see yourself and your animal companions. It will help you redefine who you are and why you’re here, how the special animals in your life are helping you learn and grow and become a better person, and how you are helping them in return! I highly recommend it for all animal lovers!”

*Barb Horn, coauthor of Divine Dog Wisdom Cards and Cosmic Cat Wisdom Cards*

“A powerful teaching about the ancient soul purpose between animals and humans that you won’t find anywhere else. It’s as unique as your relationship with your beloved animal, and it will transform the way you walk your path with them. I applaud Tammy for creating yet another inspirational guide that honors our animal companions as the great teachers and healers they have always been.”

A must-read for animal people and non-animal people alike.”
*Judith Corvin-Blackburn, LCSW, D.Min., author of Activating Your 5D Frequency and Empowering the Spi*

“Reveals how people and animals come together to evolve and heal. Tammy’s insights have taught me how to honor each animal’s uniquely individual journey and to reach for the higher perspective within their behaviors and ailments. This knowledge is invaluable in my work as well as understanding the relationships I have with my own personal animal companions.”
*Gigi Graves, founder and executive director of Our Pal’s Place, Inc.*

“A stunning testament to the profound healing that can occur through the wisdom of animals. Tammy’s depth of insight lovingly guides us to open our hearts, witness our animal friends as reflections of what needs to be healed, and embrace the teachings that will not only enhance the lives of our animal friends but ours as well. What a gift to our planet!”

“I so appreciate Animal Soul Contracts with its signature wisdom, vulnerability, and strength of one who knows yet is always broadening horizons with her deep insights about our souls and those of our animal companions. The personal stories, the teachings, and the big dose of encouragement and love for animals and humans on shared journeys provides more than just a guide to more purposeful and conscious living. It’s an inspirational ode to what Tammy assures us we came here for--to love, be loved, and to become Love.”
*Randy Crutcher, Ed.D., coauthor of Divine Dog Wisdom Cards, Cosmic Cat Wisdom Cards, and The Passion*

“Well-known for her spiritual approach to the connection between humans and our fellow creatures, Billups goes one step further than telepathic communication. Delving into life experiences and needs of individuals and their animals, the author proposes that each is an equal partner in an evolutionary contract. Billups has written a book that is groundbreaking in its wisdom and simplicity. Like-minded souls will find validation, and those who start reading with uncertainty might just find themselves believers by the last page."
