The other night driving home through the darkened canyon I saw a small fox sitting upright, calm, with tail curled around it sitting in the center median. I took this as a sign - yes animals are signs to me. I believe they are here to teach us many lessons. They show up for a brief message or to get us through a period in our life. They leave when there job is done. Just like my dear Ebony who was gifted to me for 20 yrs and left when her job was done. She still resides inside of me - she has become part of me and strengthens and comforts me daily. I was so struck by this magical fox and thought that it was no coincidence that this animal had come to me just as I am about to start the year with my new online class Animal Spirit Guides.
My message ~ Look, Listen,Trust, Feel, Intuit
i feel the same way...very in tune with animals that cross my path and try to understand what lesson or message i'm being given. you class will be wonderful!! if i weren't signed up for 2 classes already for january i would love to join you...one day.
wishing you the best of the best for the new year gina.

I remember as a child, driving with my family on Christmas morning to attend a very early Mass at a chapel we didn't usually attend. We were on the road before even opening gifts, a departure from our usual tradition. A fox ran across the empty road in front of us. I had never seen one before, and was struck breathless by its beauty and the awesomeness of the occasion. I believed that THIS was the reason I was up and out so early. I have never forgotten it. Thank you for the reminder of that magical morning.
