Nest of Lovliness JOurnal

Today Judi and I took a Fantastic class at Orly Avineri's - what a wonderful teacher and what a lovely class.  I had so much fun!  We created a little nest of a journal out of a boring old check register - and this is what I ended up with!

My Message

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.
