I was going through a folder in Outlook this morning and came across a reading I had done in January by Fox and Owl... I think I appreciate it more now than I did then... My major animal totems are a hawk (I look out for others because I'm able to see the big picture), white macaw (loud, verbal, self-expressive and creative), lion (strategic with good hunting/gathering skills and protective instincts), elephant (community minded and family centred), ant (this is a bit of a downfall lol will focus on a project without stopping even to rest or sleep, community minded) and leopard (instincts and intuition, self-confident, self-assured and empowered to handle whatever comes their way). Although, I've always been that person I never really saw myself that way, and I guess I didn't when I got the reading either, even though the message yelled at me with flashing lights!
This was the interpretation from Melissa "You have a great deal of energy that you are constantly using for one project, purpose, or reason. While you have a larger pool of energy to pull from (than many people) it is not endless. Going at the rate you have been without relaxing and taking a break will either burn you out or make you sick. Learning how to take care of yourself is very important. Remember that other people have gifts that they can use to assist you too. You can let go of the reigns a bit, and trust Universe and others to do at least half a good a job in your absence. You are a strong leader with a heart for people. With your great instincts and strategic way of seeing things …. There is no wonder people seek your assistance in their lives. Yet even the healer needs healing from time to time. Even the counselor needs counseling sometimes. Even the cook needs to eat sometimes. Enjoy nature and do some creating! This will be rejuvenating and good for you.<3"
Unknowingly, that is the path I've taken. I've simplified my life and I'm enjoying the little things like sunshine and dandelions. Thanks Universe for reminding me how far I've come :)
