For your consideration…
We often have messages about staying in the moment and noticing what is put in front of us. Our Guidance is very creative at trying to get our attention. Often we know right away why we were given the sign we were given but sometimes we don’t. We have to do some work to figure it out. Animal Speak by Ted Andrews is a must have book to make it easier for us to do this.
As I sat and meditated for today’s message, I kept hearing a bird behind me. I pulled up my app to define the bird tweet I was hearing. I was surprised that it was a Northern Cardinal. The Cardinal is the bird that my husband uses to grab my attention. I was surprised that Cardinal was behind me because it always comes from the woods behind my house.
Noticing subtle and not so subtle differences also helps us determine the meaning of what is put before us AND behind us…surrounding us.
The Cardinal in today’s message represents us. It brings two key messages today. The first is that Cardinals are always beneficial and friendly. Each and every one of us needs to be the same. The second message is this from the mentioned book, Add color to your life, and remember that everything you do is of importance.”
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…
-Affirm…“I am loved.”
-Remember…You are the keeper of the light. Wherever you go, there can be no darkness.
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Remember the Cardinal and remember that everything you do is important.

-A great walk with my Sunday hiking club.
-A successful trip to the Milan fabric store.
-Alex came over and set up a new laptop for me.

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
