Believe and be a bit more regal

By Janae Bower on December 21, 2012

So many messages this holiday season are around the importance of believing.  I’m reminded of the classic movie The Polar Express in which one of the little boy’s messages to learn and embrace is to believe.  Just this past evening I watched a Hallmark movie called The Wishing Well. It had a similar theme for the wishing well in order to work.  First those making a wish must really believe in it and second it needs to be the right wish.

A few days ago when I was visioning with a colleague on a upcoming project that we are both passionate about, a beautiful cardinal kept landing on this tree just outside the window.  Its bold red color against the white snow background made for a spectacular scene.  What lesson does the cardinal want us to learn?  Here’s what I found out.

The cardinal reminds us to hold ourselves with pride – not ego pride. Rather, the cardinal asks us to stand a little taller, be a bit more regal, step into our natural confidence as if we were born to lead with grace and nobility. Those who attract the cardinal as their totem are naturally energetic, love life, and happily help others where/when they can. Call upon the cardinal when you are feeling low (especially if you have the winter blues). Also call on the cardinal when you need bolstering for an event you are nervous about – the cardinal is better than B-12 for giving energy and vitality to those who need it!

Our hope is that as you close out the year you’ll be grateful for all your wishes come true this year.  Our wish for you is that you have the faith to really believe in all of the great things for this upcoming year.  Stand tall and step into this next year with confidence and nobility.

Thank you for investing your time in our blog.  We hope that it’s enriched your life in some way and we thank you for enriching ours.

Many blessings to you and yours…
