I thought this was pretty neat as I stumbled across it. It reminded me of mindfulness and how everybody can win when we work together. We will always be stronger in numbers vs if we are alone. We will always accomplish more as a team, with many hands and a diverse background.
This picture shows a drop of water on a tree leaf. 12 ants have gathered to drink…what’s amazing is that the ants have divided themselves into four groups. This is to maintain the balance of the water drop from tilting and then falling to the ground. It is a science of ants to cooperate and divide the share of water equally among them and give everyone his right.
We are the co-creators of our life and the time is now. More than ever are we needed to support Mother Earth and each other.
Together we discover and explore our unique gifts in times of strengths, in times we lean on each other, and in times when we learn from each other.
This blog started as an outlet and what I ultimately called my “Warriors Journey.” It was a way to document the ups and downs of my life, sharing my hardships as well as my successes. It showcased the struggles, but more important the ways of how to overcome them. Although we are warriors each and every day, I realized that having to be a warrior, comes from a place of pain. I decided to rename this blog, and “Phoenix Rising” now stands for the story of overcoming such a painful place.
My motivation for this blog hasn’t changed and I hope to share inspiration and hope, to create a sense of belonging, a space of being heard, and connecting with like minded beings who instill a sense of oneness. We are never alone, and we are unstoppable in the pursuit of what sets our soul on fire.
Who I am in a nutshell...
I am an energy healer and Reiki Master.
I am surviving a chronic disease that I’ve sent into remission three times since my initial bout, 15 years ago.
I continuously challenge the status quo and by doing so I change my stars.
I am a believer that anything is possible. I am a hopeless romantic and I believe that true love exists on various levels. I am an optimist that will always see the glass as half full. I am a dreamer, believing in endless possibilities. Not even the sky is the limit. I have jumped off of the hamster wheel, and I am writing a new chapter.
I am chasing my Nirvana to support my most authentic self.
This is my story, I am that Phoenix and I am rising from the ashes.
Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋

That is an amazing shot Rhapsody, and does bring to mind that sharing. Nature as usual showing us the way 😂 🤣 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋
people often disdain the ant. this image and lesson is thought provoking. in it I see sharing and helping each other and how those attributes are balanced.
we can learn a great many lessons from them. Even if they DO have way too many legs for my comfort!
Yes, you are right. I do feel this might demand much time, as I didn’t work it through internally yet. Only told myself, that I did the right to do, but to let the soul agree, there are some way to go.
Much love to you ❤
I absolutely love this! Such a powerful reminder! Another reason to be grateful, too, for all of the small creatures around us and the lessons we can learn just from paying attention to them..
Looks like ants are smarter than people 😉 Unlike humans, animals do not feel envious or greedy. They are more aware that if they are doing wrong to another, they are actually doing wrong to themselves. Unfortunately, most people are not aware of this.

I know and some things we never get over or forget. We only learn to live with it, but seldom does it get easier. 💙

That’s incredible… how is it that these ants can work together with mind and science to share and we cannot. Maybe we’re not the intelligent species.

That’s why I always say that we could learn a thing or two from animals.
