Power Animals ( not neccesarily the same as your favorite)

So, one day a long time ago, 2 women came in to the store and began talking about power animals. I couldn't help but interrupt-How do you know what your power animal is- I asked. You just know, they said, sometimes it will come to you in a dream. At the time my instinct was the giraffe but I haven't had any dreams about them and I think I just feel like I kinda look like one...plus I like their squarish spots.
I found this silly website that said I was a swan...
Give it a shot.
find your power animal
I think sometimes you just know and sometimes finding a power animal really consists of a longer and deeper process,
here are some other pointers I found about finding your power animal;

"* Think about animals to whom you've always been attracted - and remember that "animal" includes birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects.
* Did you collect owls? Draw pictures of dragons? Live for the sight of horses? Swear that you would never want to live without a cat? (I believe that Cat is one of the most popular (and certainly one of the most accessible) power animals, closely followed by Dolphin and Wolf.)
* What animal do you feel is most like you?
* If you could be an animal what would you most want to be? What would you least want to be?
* Are there animals you dream about regularly?

If none of the above questions produce any inspiration, or if what you come up with doesn't feel quite right be open to and affirm that your power animal(s) (there may well be more than one) will show themselves to you soon.

* Before you go to sleep each night ask for your power animal to appear.
* Make the same request while in meditation.
* Be aware of the animal images you see in the course of the day.
* Someone sent you a card with a picture of a wolf? There's a special on the wolves in Yellowstone National Park on TV? This may be worth investigating.
* If you live in an area where wildlife abounds see who the most frequent visitors are. Which birds come most often to your feeder?
* Take out books on animals, preferably with pictures, from the library, and see whether any of them stir feelings within you."

I've come across some images that will hopefully give me the jolt i need to start working.Here they are I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

my favorite animal

majestic, graceful, and terrifying!

There's a week-old near my Schleich rack!

Picture this kid only 7 days later! He's asleep in his stroller and like his big sister, he's immediately gravitated towards the Schleich rack. It's only a matter of time before he starts lining up the mommy, daddy, and kid animals!

That's right, little Cazimir is out and about! And he's wrapped in an Aden and Anais swaddling blanket... he's an unbelievably cute little burrito of a baby!

To piggy back on Nicole's friggin adorable post, here are a few of my favorite animals. In addition to the cute, but vicious Hippo which is my number one animal, I love the gullible bamboo chewing Panda (I like them so much, I have a tattoo of one!),The noble elephant,and the cute, but sometimes poisonous Blowfish!!!!

ARE ON UGLY DOLLS!!!
I am crazy about ugly dolls!! They are like the coolest twist on stuffed animals i have ever seen! Though others try to mimic this great idea, there is nothing out there today that even comes close to the magnitude of the ugly doll phenomena! Best of all they can go wherever you are. They come in a variety of sizes from extra large so you always have a friend to play with to key chains that can go with you anywhere! Each ugly doll has his own personality and can help you out with every day things. Need a cold drink? Ice Bat has that handles because he loves the cold and can turn things to ice instantly!! Beep and Bop can help you learn how to be a referee because though they do everything together they fight a lot! Ox will be there to help. Wanna open a business? Plunko can show you how. He owns a car wash, a tire store and he has lots of ideas for other stores yet to come. Now you can say you have connections to the buisness world!! Best of all he doesn't want your money, he only wants your love!! AWWWWW! There is ugly worm, ugly dog, Cinko, Poe, Wedgehead, Moxy and a whole lot More!!! I love Ice Bat..who do you wanna bring home?

Hmmm..... What Should I Have For Breakfast?

I know...YUMMY BREAKFAST!!! The new kid robot sensation filling tummies across the nation!!!
Look how cute they are, i could just eat them all up!! :)
I especially love the banana!! He is so cute!!

Looking for Some New Tunes?

I am familiar with most of the music on my iPod, and don't get me wrong I love all of it. Although sometimes I crave something new, something fresh! Here are two sites that offer just that:

Pandora - The Music Genome Project
A free music player that creates a play list from your favorite band, or song. It mysteriously know what you want to hear, even if you don't recognize the artist, or song.

Musicovery.com
This site lets you pick music by your mood, and even the decade!


These are the only two free radio music players I know of, maybe you wonderful Area folks know a few more?? I wish I knew more than two. So, when your iPod is on the fritz, has been forgotten, or all the music in it has been exhausted check these sites out!!
