Happy February! This week’s message from Nautilus is about inner wisdom and transitional times. **Note: I refer to the third eye as the third chakra – my error – it is actually the fifth chakra.
Enjoy! xo, Barbara

My Pondering Question Answered by a Tiny Creature
At the beginning of the year, I invested in an Aeropilates workout machine. Years ago I did pilates with a different piece of equipment I had until the springs gave out.
This particular machine is an improved step-up from what I had, plus it comes with a rebounder that can be changed out with the foot bar to incorporate cardio.
I had four days in on my new machine when I sprained my foot. This meant no rebounding until my foot healed. I was so bummed! But I could still do the toning and stretching exercises, which I’ve been doing and really enjoying.
My foot is healing nicely and well enough that I decided I could slowly start incorporating some rebounding. I did a few sessions of five minutes each and they went well. Then yesterday I was pondering whether or not I should increase the time. I didn’t want to overdo it and reinjure my foot, but yet, I felt ready to increase my time.
As I was pondering this I removed the foot bar. When I picked the rebounder up off the floor from underneath it a teeny-tiny jumping spider jumped. There was my answer. Yes, indeed, I felt confident it was okay to increase my time rebounding.
But before I did, I sat for a moment watching and smiling as the tiny spider jumped along the floor toward the window and then I thanked her for bringing me this message.
Years ago I would have screamed and squished the spider, but this time I just sat in awe once again at how the universe supports us and this time it came in the form of a tiny spider.

Personal Animal Oracle Guide for the Week. Come Pick Your Card and Hear the Message.
The world is full of symbology that supports, guides and comforts us. My father-in-law’s ashes now rest in a mausoleum and his dedicated space is on the end next to a large half-moon window with a view of pine trees. Within moments of my father-in-law’s ashes being placed inside, one on my sister-in-law’s exclaimed, “Did you just see the cardinal fly from the tree?”
A red cardinal is often associated with representing that a deceased loved one is visiting you. My father-in-law loved birds. Their yard is evident of this with the many feeders and berms to support a loving and nurturing environment for many varieties of birds to thrive.
I found it also interesting that on Thursday, five days after he passed, I saw a cardinal in our dwarf lilac tree. The following day I saw it again on our deck railing. Then driving home from the grocery store that same day, I saw one fly across the road in front of me. Before this, I’d not seen one since the summer.
I so appreciate how we are being supported in these beautiful ways and it brings so much comfort.
