Praying Mantis

This beautiful lady has been coming to visit me for a few days now. Always in my office and in the evening, she hangs out for a bit before I take her back outside. Where she belongs, I don’t like the idea. Of her remaining in my home. She needs to be among the creatures of the night. But I love her visits they’re so sweet and so kind and so loving. A very big blessing since it’s rare to see them more than once a year. As I posted above in the photos. Her meaning in the Native American, Indigenous people culture. She is patience, Mindfulness and Balance. Which I truly need right now in my life. I need to be aware of my emotions and what is going on in my head. I need to be present in the moment then getting lost in the fear and the worry that I carry. I’m massively anxious and fearful all the time. Something I’ve been working on for years. But her reminder to stop put myself back into balance and to be patience with myself is such an important message. Especially right now with the way the world is. With family drama and just everyday bullshit that we call life. I’m so grateful for the message and the reminder to love myself. To be ok with who I am and to just breath. To rebalance when it’s happening instead of being so scared of what could happen. So, thank you Lady Praying Mantis for the important message and for all the love you have shown me lately.
