Happy Bird Day: An Angel Message

While visiting St. Augustine last week to celebrate Elliot's special birthday, the birds came out to make sure he had a very Happy Bird Day.  

A bald eagle perched on top of the 208-ft. Great Cross. A symbol of freedom and spiritual power when we take our consciousness to the next level. Focus on things spiritual, not material. 

A lone  hawk landed on a tree limb in the early morning sunshine.  Get ready for an opportunity coming your way. 

In the afternoon, a hungry lone pelican swooped down on the pier, tussling with two fishermen over a big silvery fish.   They shouted and shooed it away. That big beautiful pelican took to the blue sky, circling the inlet. I had a feeling he wasn't ready to quit just yet. He'd be back again. And, so it was fun to see him circle back toward the pier and land on the railing by the two men. This time the wise bird patiently waited with longing big eyes. I was going to buy a fish from them, but it wasn't necessary.  The men had a change of heart, and tossed a blue fish from their ice chest to the pelican who caught it in mid air and swallowed the whole fish in one hardy gulp.  His long neck stretched and shivered to force it down the hatch. Satisfied, he rested on the pier beside the two fishermen.   

 Pelicans symbolize renewed buoyancy. No matter how difficult life gets, or how deep down you plunge, you will pop to the surface, unsinkable.  A perfect message for the times we live in:  Rise above life's trials.   Water represents emotions, and often our emotions weigh us down.  The pelican teaches not to be overcome by them.

More birds were in the air.  Leaving the pier, a chorus of little cheerful song birds perched atop the dolphin gateway added joy to the day and looked like musical notes on a scale.  

And, a delicious lunch at an outdoor Mediterranean restaurant, our table was perfectly positioned by a tall  angel statue holding a little bird in her hands. All in all, it was the tweetest birthday for my favorite bird lover, a song bird himself.

By feeding the ducks first thing each morning the past six months, we wondered if that contributed to the trill of such a memorable Bird Day.  A wonderful reminder to watch where we put our focus because it will show up in our life.   Our thoughts are things...and what we feed grows, so look for the love and the harmony. 

Have a blessed day with your angels.  Remember GOD LOVES YOU.

Joy and peace,

Hawk Watch: An Angel Message

Last week, a red-shouldered hawk landed on a tree stump next door.  I grabbed my new camera and tried to zoom in over the pasture.  The lone hawk was intently preening his feathers, so it was hard to focus and get a good picture. But, an angel thought came to me that this hawk was getting ready for an important date, and wanted to look his best.

When the uploaded photos were enlarged, his facial expressions were so amusing that I imagined him coaching himself.   

Get ready!  An opportunity is coming!

Keep watching. It can happen.

I believe....I believe...

In the afternoon, I  happened to look out the window... what a surprise...perfectly posed on their respective tree stumps, they met eye to eye.  It had been worth the wait.

Whenever a hawk shows up, I try to pay attention.  Hawk brings a message of spirit vision and guardianship, a sign for me that angels are present. Whenever a hawk shows up, you will see the opportunities.   The signs will be clear.  So be patient and observe the big picture.

Enjoy your day with the Angels.

Love and joyful blessings,

Hawk as the Messenger

Have you ever noticed how you happen to stumble upon something that seems a perfect message for you. It's as though an unseen hand reached out and tapped you on the shoulder. Take a look at this!

One day while searching the web, I came across this posting about the hawk, my animal totem. Unfortunately, I don't remember who was the author.

"I was read a prophecy six years ago, by a 17 year old girl from China who was handed an ancient Chinese Shamanic I-Ching book by a stranger. The elderly woman at the Beijing Airport gave an ancient book of the Dao-da-Ching to this young girl as her and her parents were immigrating to California. She read me the oracular wisdom, from an important question I had asked that day. I had asked about my soul’s journey. We exchanged wisdom in an Instant Message:

"A lonely hawk, between earth and sky, crying for the loss of her group, tries to ask, how many soul mates she has, not so many to this day. The person who receives this reading has much talent, it's like she sings so well that few can understand to fit anywhere. Left out at
the edge of the World, she has the wrist to twist the earth, but does not see the day that she will be happy. To the person who got this message, please view yourself higher, do not mingle or settle like all the others, and do not waste your precious life time."

The Edgar Cayce (http://www.edgarcayce.org/) readings state that hawk is the stage of humankind that represents wisdom. In his book, Animal-Speak, Ted Andrews teaches that the hawk is the messenger of the gods akin to Mercury. Hawk soars above, seeing the big picture.

Angelic blessings,
