After seeing the beautiful turtle in my back yard, I felt blessed by turtle energy! Saturday night in my dream time turtle came to me again. In my dream I was visiting a doctor to see what was going on with my eye. She told me I have a very small turtle in my eye. (You know how everything in dreams seems to make sense!) I asked her if the turtle was dead or alive. She said it was very much alive and growing. Then I asked her if she could take the turtle out. She told me she couldn’t remove it until it matured. (I wonder now, did the doctor mean until the turtle matured or until I did?)

When I woke up the next morning I thought, ‘Wow, what is turtle trying to teach me?’ Turtle surely has another message for me, but I wonder what it was. I find often when Spirit is tugging at my heart I receive messages in three’s. So I wondered when I would receive another connection to turtles. I didn’t have to wait long.

The night before, I had decided to check out a new Unity Church in New Hope, Texas. In the morning, I called my sister right after waking from the turtle dream to invite her to join me. Our conversation was interrupted with a shout from my sister telling me her son, my nephew found a really friendly turtle! I laughed in surprise because here was turtle coming to me one more time within moments of my asking!

At the Unity Church in New Hope, I met a wonderful group of people who in addition to the Sunday morning, meet Sunday evening bi-monthly in order to honor the Earth through Shamanic practices. After the Sunday morning service, I told the group’s facilitator Lance, about the appearance of turtle in my life. In the evening Shamanic session, he was kind enough to bring additional information about my friend and guide the turtle.

As I think about it now, I realize turtle energy has come to be with me as I grow and mature. I’ve identified two other animals as my power animals. So, is turtle also coming to be a permanent power animal in my life? I not sure, but I do know she has come to help me now and I’m thankful for her presence.

Is her only message to me, “Take life step by step” or, does she have other ‘Whispers of Wisdom’ to share? I don’t know what she has to teach me, but I do know she has my attention and I’m listening.
