Miley Speaks: A True Story of Love, Loss, Grief, and Reconnection by Lisa Peachey and Carol Elizabeth Long is a deep dive into the spiritual world of humans, animals, and their interactions. When Lisa and Dene Peachey lost their beloved dog, Miley, they were devastated and at a total loss. Miley and her companion Sprout were an integral part of the Peachey family. An opportunity to possibly reconnect with their beloved Miley, through the gifted animal communicator Elizabeth Long, seemed like a long shot, or perhaps wishful thinking but the couple was prepared to try anything to salve their grief over Miley’s death. What followed was an incredible experience in which they discovered Miley was a multi-dimensional spirit being whose task was to act as a spiritual guide. Through a series of communications between Elizabeth and Miley, Lisa and Dene were allowed to ask Miley some of life’s biggest questions and at the same time find purpose, peace, and a new direction for themselves and their canine partners.
I initially approached Miley Speaks from a fairly cynical perspective but with an open mind and was willing to be convinced. Authors Lisa Peachey and Carol Elizabeth Long proposed a relatively “far out” concept in the idea of being able to communicate with deceased and living animals. The authors did an exceptional job of presenting the process and the results made me certain that, for them, the process was real and believable. What impressed me most was that many of the realities that Miley imparted during these discussions, such as existing in a multiverse, the power of thought and intention, the oneness of humanity, and creation in general, are all concepts that resonate with me in my journey. I was astounded to find myself nodding sagely at much of Miley’s wisdom and realizing that the concepts she was suggesting for Lisa and Dene were the same concepts I was trying to incorporate into my own life. As someone who has had few pets, I could not easily identify with the immense loss and grief at the loss of a pet but, regardless, Miley’s wisdom, advice, and subtle humor were a real treat. This is one of the more unusual books I’ve read but I’m certainly glad I did and I highly recommend it.
