If you feel like there’s an awful lot going on in the world just now, I’d agree. Emphatically! So would my dream friends! And I’m so grateful for the “team” that literally helps me sort things and make choices.
Once upon a time, several years ago, I was sitting in a Zoom meeting with some new friends. One of our leaders was an Indigenous woman named Maria. The first thing she said to me was, “You’re Bear Clan!” And a whole new world of perception and legend and story opened within me!
There wasn’t time in that moment, but research was definitely in order. (It’s what I do!) Here’s a bit of what I learned…
Bear Spirit Animals carry energy of physical strength, emotional grounding, and courage to stand up against adversity. Those who relate to Bears as guides often have the energy of protectors and medicine people. And Bears remind us that we need rest!
No wonder they are chatting me up in this moment!
You see, I’m in the midst of a very active creative cycle and am dedicated to staying on that road, even in the midst of all the chaos in the world. I’m starting, today, with some intentional modeling!
I turned off the news. (Gulp!)
I made space in my schedule for a conversation with a guy who knows more than I do about some of the weird neuro stuff going on in my world.
And, I have a new flavor of cacao to experience, probably just after that conversation.
In the meantime, painting. I Am Legend told me about her face!
Mostly, though, I’m consciously partnering with my friends in the photo to remind me, as often as I need to hear it, of who I am and why it matters. (Daphne’s t-shirt helps, too!)
And, I’m inviting you to join me, in your own way!
Turn off what’s not helping. Make some conscious space for something that matters, even if it’s “just” a few minutes of Joan Baez and a cuppa.
Let your fingers do some wandering and explore Spirit Animals, intentionally, if you’re curious. (It’s a #Filters thing!)
BE your work-in-progress on this Wednesday!
