Spirit Animal - Skunk on Black and White

Skunk says that not everything in life is black and white.  In truth, most things have four or five angles, not just two.  Skunk knows because most people think that Skunk is bad, has rabies, and smells.  They can’t seem to find anything good about him. 

Skunk would like you to know about his “good” side.  Have insects plaguing your fields?  Skunk will clean them up.  He will deter moles from making holes in pastures and lawns.  And, he is a natural predator for frogs and snakes. 

If Skunk is showing up in your life, it may be to remind you that your view of the world is very narrow, and that many life situations are grey.

Blessings.

Spirit Animal - You “Otter” See This!

People are getting more stressed by life – work, family obligations, politics, studying, and maintaining a home/yard.  Otter comes in to remind us that work and play can exist side by side and that water is the easiest way to have fun.  Swim, dive, splash, and float.  No lake or ocean?  No worries! Find a swimming pool close by and take the family for a swim a week.  Wash away what troubles you, and learn to go with the flow.

Blessings.

Spirit Animal - Badger On Family

Badger has been on the radio recently, as part of a tire advertising campaign.  She is happy with that because her message right now is to take care of each other, and to especially take care of family.  This is a time when family can be divided by beliefs, values, or loyalties.  To divide the family is to lose part of the energetic group that helps keep you balanced on Earth. 

While you may think that your family is the most not-normal family on Earth, everyone feels that way about their family… that is a norm of families.  Badger tells us to love our offspring or siblings, regardless of how far off center they seem.  You see, center is an illusive guideline that means different things to different people.

Angels Speak - Walking Without The Crowd

While most of us crave companionship on a daily basis, we all do need to have quiet moments and be alone.  It is in being alone that we meet ourselves and assess what we are doing.  Being alone gives us a chance to try thins without the running commentary of family and friends, and, it gives time to find those things that fee our Soul.

As the Earth changes, we change.  We need quiet time to process the changes.  We can discover that we are amazing; that life is amazing; and that the world is amazing. 

Blessings.

Angels Speak - On Being Happy

 

I keep thinking about how a baby comes into the world with nothing, and how happy a baby is.  As it gets older, and people give it “things”, it becomes unhappy when it doesn’t have “things”.  It does make you wonder what our lives would be like if manufacturing just stopped, and if we did not have things. 

Concentrate on some questions and see what happens as the answers come out. 

• What made you laugh today?
• What action happened that gave you a warm, fuzzy feeling?
• What caused you intense frustration today?

Blessings.

Angels Speak - Moving Forward

I was at a Leadership and Women conference several weeks ago.  The big theme that came from all of the speakers was that “everyone needs to help themselves” and that sometimes, this means looking for an opportunity that does not exist. 

Although this statement seems like a paradox, the logic is quite natural.  Plants and trees will grow where ever they can, even if the place they are growing seems un-natural.  You have seen trees grow out of the side of a sheer faced cliff; flowers grow out of cracks in a brick wall; grass and weeds growing out of the crack in a  driveway.  The point is – if you see something that looks promising, pursue it.  Who knows what will happen.  Oh, and ask the Angels to help you… they love a challenge!

Blessings.
