For two days now I have been hearing and seeing two very large Blue Jays around my neighborhood. They’ve called to me when I’ve pulled in the empty garbage containers, and again when I went to the mail box. I’ve acknowledged them and the wisp of blue I see in their flight as they fly over the white snow. Today as I was making tea, I looked out my kitchen window to see one of the Blue Jays looking back at me. I laughed and told myself he was only looking at himself in the reflection of the glass of the window. As I walked past my patio door I noticed the second Blue Jay sitting on the lid of my sage pot that was on my deck. I’d moved its the small table is usually sat on, and had placed the pot directly on the deck over night. The water on its base froze, securing it tightly to the deck. The Blue Jay was sitting on the lid of my sage pot, and the contrast of the red pot, the white snow and the Blue Jay stopped me. He turned his head looked at me and I made direct eye contact with him. He then very loudly squawked at me and took flight.

I decide to look up Blue Jay in the animal sprit book and it says.

Rather than dabbling in the spiritual / metaphysical realm, choose a path to explore and go as far as you can with it Asses s your main gifts and talents, develop a plan as to how you can best use them, and then take clear and purposeful action Choose one or two of the projects you’ve started and finish them. Pay close attention to nonverbal clues that tell you when someone is trying to deceive you. Whatever the situation that has triggered some fear, attack it boldly and courageously.

I don’t believe the message is about the two last sentences, though the last few days – weeks may have put some sadness, wondering and worry in our minds. I feel the message is more about change. It’s a calling or a SQUAWKING to all of us to wake to our gifts , our knowing and action them with our heart. It’s about choosing this newness we feel as the ignition to something greater that is on its way. Move into action and belief that our souls knows what it is that we are to be doing. For those that know me closely you know I always work on many projects. I welcome creative energy and creative ideas that manifest into greatness.   I ask you to share in a goal with me, in taking your creative gifts and manifesting them to greatness.

Love and Light
