I started Joanna Powell Colbert's "Candlemas:  Winter turning into Spring" course today and am having such a wonderful time with the creative, reflective projects she is sharing with us.  This week's theme is Emergence and I chose this fern unfolding to represent my emergence.  One question I was asked to answer is:
"What is my true path and how can I make a commitment to it?"
After seeking my intuition, Simplicity, Honesty and Connection came up.
I asked the same question and pulled one of the Gaian cards and picked:  Guardian of Earth which to me represents: 
Hard work, observation, patience and love.  I look forward to my learning with this course over the next 5 weeks!

The birds were so busy today flitting to and fro from the feeders to nearby bushes and trees for protection.  They are so quick and fun to watch!  Lots of varieties and colors today:)
