Nearly tripped over this beetle 🪲 as soon as I got to the hiking spot that I was nudged to go visit today. As I walked to process and release aspects I was carrying heavily I started daydreaming to let my thoughts wander as they do. All the while walking through little cobwebs that I kept brushing off, and ignoring until the messages stepped it up a notch until I couldn't ignore coming inches away from a large web with a giant yellow spider in the middle. UGH!

I walked around it to get a picture and by the time I got to the other side it had completely disappeared and there was only the web (hence no pic). I finally listened. Paused to look up the symbolism in the middle of the trail, and creating our own reality....requires consciousness of what we want and do not want and we have the ability to shape our realities. When I was daydreaming I was getting icky spider webs "by surprise". When I was looking and conscious of the present moment and what I wanted (to avoid walking into spiders) I saw them with ease, so I could navigate around them with happily. They continued their life uninterrupted, and I continued with mine.

A symbol I have received for years now are feathers right in my path, and as I was taking in all the messages coming through after the spider encounter I was gifted the bluejay feathers pictured. I was also serenaded by a loud chorus of I'm not sure what bugs, but reminding me to share loudly and with conviction what I do and do not want to manifest into my reality. We are guided by symbols once we communicate to ourselves and others with certainty what we do and don't want.

All the other critters were all about transformation as caterpillars, butterflies, frogs, apples and leaves turning colour(I know) all symbols of quick, seasonal transformation. It can happen within a season these massive transformations, and this continues to be true both personally and professionally. Clear intentions lead the way!

I know I sure needed this message and many others I received today, and I hope this reaches everyone else who is ready to receive it too. 💜✨
