Hummingbird ~ Joys, Dreams, and Accomplishments

This is your card reading for Monday, November 30th/15.  Your card today floated out of 'The Animal-Wise Tarot' card deck, authored by Ted Andrews.  Your card is 'Hummingbird ~ Joys, Dreams, and Accomplishments', and Ted's message for the card is this:
"Though one of the smallest species of birds, the hummingbird is also one of the most amazing, awakening a sense of wonder in everyone who encounters them.  Hummingbirds have long bills and tongues that enable them to extract nectar from flowers.  In fact, they are often critical to the pollination of many flowers, and thus Hummingbird's appearance signals a time of new nectar within our lives.  New joy is manifesting around us and our dreams are closer to being fulfilled.  We are entering a period of accomplishment.  
The Hummingbird is a skillful flyer, able to hover and to fly backwards and forwards, and is so skilled that it shows no fear toward any other bird.  No other bird can fly backwards, and this reflects the re-awakening of the past and the drawing of new nectars from it.  Past dreams and opportunities to manifest them are resurfacing.  Take advantage of them at this time.
Regardless of the present circumstances or those of the recent past, Hummingbird's appearance always heralds joy and accomplishment.  We will begin to see the attainment of our dreams.  Opportunity is manifesting around us and we should grab it heartily. Hummingbird signals a time of blessings and new sunshine.  New ventures of success and renewed health are the promise.
Hummingbirds are fiercely independent and seen to revel in freedom.  They are also extremely hard workers and very playful.  Hummingbird promises successful accomplishment as long as we set about in our own unique way and have fun with it. 
The ruby-throated Hummingbird is a wonder of migration, making journeys of several thousand miles, on what food and energy it has stored in its tiny body.  Scientists still are unsure how it is able to store up enough energy to make such a journey.  But it does. Because of it, the Hummingbird is a symbol for accomplishing what seems impossible.  The Hummingbird helps us to find the miracle of joyful living."

My message for you today is this:
Such a beautiful way to close out the month of November and to begin the week that leads us into December!  Hummingbird has appeared in the cards today for you as a messenger of encouragement and also of validation.  You ARE on the right path. Sometimes it seems that the journey is longer than we had anticipated to get 'there'---only to find that once we get 'there'; the blessings and learnings on the journey were as important to our spiritual growth as the actual getting 'there'!  
So go ahead and fearlessly embrace your dreams and plans and actively pursue them; with the understanding that Divine timing and Universal knowing is at play in ways that we cannot always fully appreciate in each and every moment.  Those who have achieved 'success' and accomplishment in ANY facet of their lives acknowledge that prior to having attained their goal, they met with various perceived 'stumbling blocks' and missteps, that in retrospect actually served them in the big scheme of things.  Approach your dreams and goals with joyful enthusiasm as this 2015 'year of conscious action' draws to a close, and lovingly gaze back upon how far you have come thus far!  Embrace the energy and tenacity of the Hummingbird as it is being offered you, to support you along the way.
Blessed be...
