Call of the Wild

Hawk is a dynamic, powerful, messenger.


Some of the symbolism associated with hawk is: attention, tremendous vision, power, energy, leadership and focus. Hawk also has the ability to soar above  any threat and see the solution to it from a larger perspective. I see Hawk as a teacher of Divine wisdom. In this way, I feel that Hawk is symbolic of God.


So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“With open arms, keen vision, intense focus and absolute power, God is ever-watchful over us and patiently waiting for our response to The Call.” tc

Born to Fly

We ask ourselves hundreds of questions each day.  Should I.....?  Could I......?  Would I......?  Didn't I......?  But how many times do we acknowledge 'what we Can?'  
Today is the first day of spring.  You can do anything that you believe possible. You can: take a vacation, spend the afternoon with your son, ride a bicycle, enroll in a class, call your mother, invite the neighbor for lunch, say NO, seek refuge and stop an unhealthy behavior.  Why? Because You Really Can. We were not born to sit in small cubicles, work endlessly, be helpers to others without first tending to our own needs, follow the beaten path or be alone.  We were born to discover our gifts, share with others and live fully.  We were born to fly!    

So, on that note, the quote of the day is: 

"All it takes on your part is a little effort and pure faith in order to soar." tc

Sometimes we need a different point-of-view

The first time I took my two sons on an airplane ride, I pointed out houses, roads and even huge cities from this aerial view.  They marveled at how tiny everything looked from the sky.

I used this experience to teach them a lesson about problems.  I reminded both of them that when they have a problem in life and it seems overwhelming to solve or manage, that if they remember how small things are from the viewpoint of looking out the window of an airplane, that they may see that their problems aren't quite as big as they appear. Whatever life presents, it is never too large for you to handle. 

On that note, the quote of the day is:

"Your perspective is everything."
