This morning around 11am I was taking a walk in the park trusting that inspiration would arrive for this mail out today. The universe always sends me guidance through signs and symbols and what first caught my eye was a small flock of birds that appeared to be feasting on some worms.

Just before seeing the birds I had been mulling over a beautiful message that was passed on to me by a friend a few days ago- the words were “Eagle” medicine from the shamanic tradition - a suggestion to slow down and take the whole of the month of January to come into 2018. This felt like the perfect tonic for me.

I have to tell you that Claire’s plan had been to ride into the New Year with all sorts of things “completed” and “started” and that’s just so NOT what happened!

I was brought into the horizontal position by a virus just before the end of the year and I’m only now slowly, slowly moving back into an upright position. But I can see now that the inner connections I made during the many days of quiet, still time recuperating will be absolutely invaluable for the journey ahead. I thank the universe that I did not miss this time!

Receiving the Eagle medicine was like a balm to continue to apply as I glide into the year, taking the time to broaden out my vision, circle the mountains before coming into land…

Back to the park now and somehow I sensed that the two things were related- the Early Bird & the Eagle Medicine. As I looped around I came to the spot adjacent to where the birds had been eating and I noticed a woman in conversation with a man. I glanced down and saw that she had a bag of seeds or bread, I’m not sure which one, but it was food for the birds. They had been provided for at the 11th hour of the day.

So here are the gifts I received from the Early Bird and the Eagle for 2018 and I share them with you:

> When I take time, I make time

> Everything is always provided in divine right order

> Things come together in their right and perfect time

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
