Sometimes our best moments are the days we stop avoiding hurt and face it head on. Sometimes our best moments aren’t our prettiest ones. Do not let those uncomfortable with your rawness swade you from growth.

The world will make you feel crazy for having feelings, if you let it. Don’t. Know that tears are as natural as smiles. Sadness is as natural as laughter. Hard times aren’t breakdowns. Sometimes they are breakthroughs. Your pain isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s setting you up for the next phase in your life. In a world that sees our “best moments” as the ones where we are mindlessly happy— I know differently. Sometimes our best moments are the days we stop avoiding hurt and face it head on. Sometimes our best moments aren’t our prettiest ones. Do not let those uncomfortable with your rawness swade you from growth. Do not let the full picture of who you are as a human being be minimized to a fake smile for likes. Happiness and sadness are just two sides to the human coin.

The story of the Hummingbird… especially poignant in my world as I’ve had visits that are obviously very deliberate and command attention in recent weeks.

The miracles are there waiting for you to step towards them. What is one small action you can take today in your world?

According to an old Native American legend, one day there was a big fire in the forest. All the animals fled in terror in all directions, because it was a very violent fire. Suddenly, the jaguar saw a hummingbird pass over his head, but in the opposite direction. The hummingbird flew towards the fire!

Whatever happened, he wouldn't stop. Moments later, the jaguar saw him pass again, this time in the same direction as the jaguar was walking. He could observe this coming and going, until he decided to ask the bird about it, because it seemed very bizarre behavior.

"What are you doing, hummingbird?" he asked.

"I am going to the lake," he answered, "I drink water with my beak and throw it on the fire to extinguish it." The jaguar laughed. 'Are you crazy? Do you really think that you can put out that big fire on your own with your very small beak?'

'No,' said the hummingbird, 'I know I can't. But the forest is my home. It feeds me, it shelters me and my family. I am very grateful for that. And I help the forest grow by pollinating its flowers. I am part of her and the forest is part of me. I know I can't put out the fire, but I must do my part.'

At that moment, the forest spirits, who listened to the hummingbird, were moved by the bird and its devotion to the forest, miraculously they sent a torrential downpour, which put an end to the great fire.

The Native American grandmothers would occasionally tell this story to their grandchildren, then conclude with, "Do you want to attract miracles into your life? Do your part."

“You have no responsibility to save the world or find the solutions to all problems—but to attend to your particular personal corner of the universe. As each person does that, the world saves itself.’"

Excellent to revisit especially with the astrology of this month. Are you ready to love? Willing to act?

The greatest act of love you could ever offer another is focusing on loving and healing your own core wounds. Doing so establishes a foundation for partnership, not a draining cyclical co-dependency. It sets boundaries that show others how to treat you. And by its very essence, your resiliency provides a lighthouse of safety and hope for every being you come in contact with. 🌟
