Today's Animal Totem

She is ferocious in her protection of her cubs, as well as her territory.
Cougar teaches us leadership through assertiveness. It is time to forget any and all criticism, because there will surely be some. Stand up and follow your truth without hesitation. You are only responsible for speaking, acting and living your own truth. How others respond to you is theirs.

Today's Animal Spirit...

Phew!  Everyone knows Skunk's power...that's why people (and other animals) get out of his way! If you're lacking self-esteem, Skunk is there to help.  You are worthy of a happy life...and if someone is making you miserable, look to Skunk as a confidence builder.  Skunk medicine is about accepting who you are and learning to express your truths without regret or embarrassment.  Remember, though, Skunk doesn't have to spray to be powerful...his reputation precedes him!  And, like Skunk, you don't need to spray either...but you do need to stand your ground calmly, and with Skunk's confidence.  Skunk teaches us to defend ourselves effectively without causing further conflict.
Skunk is also very good at calming small children, so call him the next time you're dealing with fussy little ones.

2011...A Birds-eye View

I decided to ask our animal comrades for a message for my readers for 2011.  I feel like we all need a boost of energy, and certainly some of us could use a little kick to get us on our way.  Considering the fact that the coming year vibrates to the number 4, meaning solid foundation, it is no surprise that the reading became one of independence and confidence.
Well, Cardinal came and his message is pretty straightforward.  He seems to be telling us, "Wake up!".  With his incessant chirping, he brings a message of personal power.  Stop shrinking from your destiny. Stop pretending that you are less than.
Cardinal Medicine renews vitality in life and returns joy, brilliance and balance to the mind, body and spirit.  He awakens spiritual transformations, intellectual insights and heightens intuitions and perceptions.  Cardinal aids in manifesting dreams and ideas by focussing intentions where it's needed.  He adds color and balance to life and demonstrates that everything you do is important.  He aids in understanding and helping you find your own song in life.
Are you doing what needs to be done or should be done?  If you are unsure of your path, you can ask Cardinal to fly with you.  Be assured, he will help you focus, gain clarity, formulate a plan, become self-assured, and step out into the world with the knowledge that you are a powerful and capable person.


All Blessings Be.  )O(
