Celebrating Gotcha Days and a Soul Connection with Your Animal
Jul 01, 2026
It’s a special day for me on 1st July. It’s Amy's “gotcha day” and although she’s no longer with me in her physical form, I still celebrate the beautiful relationship we shared and the soul connection we still have with each other.
When Amy arrived in my life, she was quite traumatised for a number of reasons. She had changed homes, guardians and riders multiple times before her 8th birthday. She hadn’t had a very happy time and had experienced some serious accidents whilst being ridden, as well as when being driven in harness. She had the look and feel of a horse that desperately needed love and understanding.
From that first day together, the 1st of July became a day to celebrate Amy as the individual she was and to make a big fuss of her, which she loved! It became her official birthday, as I didn’t know when she had been born, although I had a feeling that she was an Aries star sign!
Even though Amy has now been in spirit for 12 years, I still celebrate her on this day. I’ll be starting my month with some lovely reflections of our time together and driving out to some of our favourite spots for a walk and to see those views that we shared together. I will take some time to honour the special soul connection we share.
Here are some ideas to try if you’re celebrating a gotcha day anniversary for your animal, or you simply want to feel closer to them. These work equally well for an animal who is here in physical form or those who are now in spirit.
- Dedicate some alone time to be together. This might look like a walk or a time to sit with them or a photograph of them.
- Allow memories to flow and share 3 favourite fun memories with them, either out loud or in your head.
- Say thank you to them for the soul connection you share. Place your hand on your heart and share your gratitude out loud.
It’s a lovely idea to have a journal ready to record your impressions, memories and gratitudes, so that you’re building a new memory each time you connect like this.
I’d love to hear how you get on with these easy practices. If you would like to explore any of this in more depth, you are welcome to contact me or book a free discovery call. The sessions I recommend that resonate with celebrating your animal and your soul connection, include Animal Communication, Animal Attunements and Animals In Spirit communication.
