King Penguin Talks of Old Friends

The penguins at the Calgary Zoo are now doing their penguin walk daily at 10:30am, weather permitting.  Watching the penguins is a joyful activity and brings smiles to most everyone.  I received my reminder to go to watch the penguins and it made me think of their activities.

King Penguins live in the Antarctic and the very southern tips of countries close to the Antarctic.  Their numbers are huge – in the millions – and their colonies are very large.  It is easy to become parted from your friends – those chicks that you grew up with in the crèche.  Finding a friend after several years is an unusual occurrence and one that has some of the same ceremony that human reunions have.

King Penguin shows us that:

• there is nothing quite like an old friend
• affection should be displayed
• life can be full of surprises
• everyone loves to be appreciated

Otter Water Play

 

Otters are such beautiful creatures.  I think it is because of their playfulness and their loving personality.  This picture grabbed me because it reflects what Otter wants to show us.

• Love and affection are a way of life, and should not be withheld, even from one’s self.
• Water is about emotion.  What better place to practice love and kindness.
• Being of the light and being buoyant seem to go hand in hand.  Buoyancy is associated with water.
• Whiskers are little antennae that help us pick up the information around us.  Otter whiskers pick up love and playfulness.
• Otter tells us to dive deeply into what is holding us back from being utterly loving.

May Otter appear in your life today – in the flesh, in pictures, on billboards, or on TV.

Blessings,

Judy

Rolling Into February 2026

My horoscope said that new doors would appear before me as the year rolled into February.  My imagination immediately soared as I imagined rows of different types of doors opening up for me.  Then I saw this blue door.  For some reason, it resonates.

Blue is about truth; about the throat chakra; about moving through the higher consciousness; about connecting with Spirit; and about shape shifting.   Blue reminds us that we are all in transition.  It reminds us of freedom, and the sky, and the color of pure water.  Blue is about beginnings, and is a great colour for a door.  

Do you know where to find a blue door?

Blessings,
