Los nativos americanos creían profundamente en la protección y guía que representan los espíritus de los animales, lo llaman Spirit Animal. Cada tótem de cada animal enseña sobre la vida y sobre lo que necesitamos aprender.
El alce representa la energía en equilibrio, la nobleza, la fuerza y la perseverancia de seguir tu camino para alcanzar tu meta. También se dice que aparece en tu camino para para guiarte en un viaje sagrado de “self awareness” en el cuál se dejan ir viejas ideas las cuales ya no tienen un propósito en tu vida.
Hoy me crucé con esta belleza cerca de casa.

On route to wherever my partner and I may be travelling, I like to pull an #animalspirit card and place it on our truck's dash for guidance. #elkspirit was so fitting this weekend, particularly as this magnificent beast made his presence known in the physical realm as well (can you spot him?).
As our #mondaymessage, Elk brings with him a reminder of the strength and stability that surrounds us. Whether that strength be rooted in our own empowerment, or it be found in the reliability of our relationships with others, the sturdy, dependable support we need in this life is all around us. Sometimes it is harder to notice than others, but place trust in knowing your are strong, supported and loved.

1/left/feather - #fireantspirit
Nobody LIKES when Fire Ant shows up to ruin the picnic, but sometimes we just don’t have that choice. Much like our anger, we are taught that Fire Ant Spirit is bad and that they should be hidden away. But there is always reason, always purpose. Fire Ant asks you to look deep within yourself and uncover the purpose of your anger/fear/frustration. We tend to channel these emotions through hostility and aggression, but what if, instead, you used them to point you in the right direction? Away from what does not feel right, and towards your purpose and calling. When Fire Ant shows up, listen before it’s too late and you’ve done something you can’t take back.

2/middle/stone - #elkspirit
Oh Friends, I don’t now about you but since the onset of the school year, since Halloween and the great sugar rush of 2018, my basic support structures have been hurting. Elk comes to us to gently remind us and coax us back into all the good habits that help carry and support us. Healthy eating, good sleep hygiene, exercise, walking in nature, connecting with supports. It’s easy to neglect these things but we risk crumbling if w do it for too long. Elk invites you back to those habits, routines and structures which help raise you up. The time is now to get back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3/right/bone - #zebraspirit
I love when Zebra Spirit makes herself seem and heard for she is power, vision and creation all rolled into one full of life package. How will you use Zebra’s energy this week? Will you ignore her, tuck her away and say you’ll get to her another time? Or will you answer her call to envision and create? Many of us want to walk the creative life but struggle to implement and move that forward into existence. Now is your chance, your time. Seize Zebra as a sign. You don’t have to paint the next Mona Lisa, or compose the next Poe; but now that even the act of doing these things will help to stoke your own creative fire within.

1/left/citrine - #lizardspirit - Oh friend, I know you've been pushing yourself hard lately. The holiday season was draining and now you're right back into the hustle and bustle with the new year. Lizard Spirit is with you this weekend urging you and begging you to make some time for yourself. We all need a pause, we all need a getaway, and this weekend is YOUR time. With his energy combined with that of the citrine crystal, you are be called to tap into your creative and intuitive side. Even if it's only a stolen hour here or there, allow Lizard to guide you through the creative process. Allow him to help restore your faith in your own magical presence and abilities.

2/middle/clear quartz - #hawkspirit - Both Hawk Spirit and the energies of crystal quartz are with you this weekend to bring clarity to your situation. With their guiding energies, they hope to help you to keep the big picture in mind. We can get so lost in the details, caught up in the little stresses and anxieties, that we forget what our goal was to begin with. Hawk is with you to help you rise above those trials and tribulations. Let him carry you on his wings and soar high above to the place where your spirit watches over you. Sometimes we all need to adopt a different perspective and Hawk is here to support you in doing so this weekend.

3/right/apache tear - #elkspirit - What a gloriously supportive combination this animal spirit and crystal team make. They are a call for you to do partake in some grounding practices this weekend. Whether that be by escaping to spend time in the wild or through meditation and visualization, connect yourself to the energy of the Earth and Elk Spirit. Elk and the Apache Tear are with you to help stabilize yourself and find the structure you may require to rebalance, refocus and re-energize. Their energies can only support you if you allow them to and give them the chance, so set aside some time to do just that this weekend.

Love and magic!

Spiritual awakening
Is NOT
One lightbulb moment;
It is NOT
A one shot deal;
It is NOT
A singular process
With a beginning,
Middle,
And end.
Spiritual awakening
Is a lifetime’s work.
It is constant,
Fluctuating,
Fluid,
Persistent.
It is an all encompassing
Recognition
Of needing to do the work.
The work required
To look at yourself,
Your TRUE self;
To rise above,
Accept,
Expand,
Grow,
Become.
Spiritual awakening
Is daring
To challenge yourself
Over,
And over,
And over.

Yesterday I attended/photographed a workshop hosted by my local wedding professionals association and one of my all time favorite bad bitch boss babes - Lané @weddingprocoaching. Even though I asked waaay too many questions/experiences #sorrynotsorry it was such an informative presentation and lit a fire in my business heart. Today I am sick ...and taking good care of myself because I was reminded yesterday that I cannot serve from an empty cup. • Thank you Lané and everyone who attended. These events couldn’t happen without your support. .
