Over the past 6-9 months I have seen several red-tailed hawks flying nearby - at least once a day. I don't remember seeing hawks that much before now. I decided to research the red-tailed hawk and found this interesting site.

I've started my own list of "Life Lessons" so that maybe I can start incorporating them into my life. If this spiritual bird is trying to get a message to me, I guess it wouldn't hurt to mix a little Native American religion into my path to healing. I'm sure this list will get much longer.

Life Lessons to Consciously Incorporate

· Humans make mistakes.
· There is evil in the world.
· People who love you can hurt you.
· You can hurt the ones you love.
· You can survive anything that your physical body survives.
· You have to choose to accept offered love.
· Not everyone is bad.
· Children are gifts from God.
· God is ever present.
· You must feel pain to feel joy.
· You must feel sadness to feel happiness.
· You must feel.
