When the hummingbird totem visits we are reminded to appreciate the sweetness life offers. We have all heard the saying "Stop to Smell the Roses" and understand this means to slow down and enjoy life. The hummingbird teaches a similar lesson asking us to bury our noses more deeply and inhale the fragrant nectars. Life offers much joy and sweetness if we take the time to breathe it in.
Michelle Lamb, Reiki practitioner, recently rescued a baby hummingbird that flew into a glass window in her home. Her two young sons helped her offer it some love and Reiki energies before sending it on its way back to its home. You can see some more photos of this touching act of love at Michelle's Web site, www.heavenlyscent.net

this is so touching, hummingbirds and butterflys are so dear to me, this is a beautiful site, good pictures. i believe when a hummingbird or butteryfly comes close to you ,it is a message from God.
I love this post! We recently had a catbird hanging out in our yard. It came right up to us, even sat on the lawnmower handle, and followed us around as we did yardwork. He was acting in a very un-birdlike manner, and was fun to have around.
Hi Gene and Mary,
I want to Thank-You both for taking the time to share your comments. It means a lot to me and I really appreciate it! I love it when natures little angels come to visit us. They are so much fun and it fills my heart with lots of Love & Happiness. Thanks again!
I loved the article on the little hummingbird who paid you a visit. I especially loved the illustration of the angel and the bird at the top of the page. Can you tell me who did that as I would love to order it.
Many thanks!
A kindred spirit! A couple of summers ago, a similar thing happened at our house. A hummingbird got onto the enclosed porch, which had a faulty door at the time, and flew around until she exhausted herself. (She was a ruby throated hummingbird.) I held her in my hand, pulling off bits of spider web, until she started to come around. She was stunned and disoriented, but soon flew off. However, she landed on a very low branch of a plant in my small flower garden. I was afraid she would be easy pickings so I approached her hoping she would fly higher and she did. I knew she was exhausted, but I wanted her to be in a safe place until she could fully recover. One day, not long after, I was standing on the porch looking out the window and thought about this beautiful, tiny bird. I wondered if she was okay. Suddenly a hummingbird came right in front of the window where I stood and hovered there for several seconds looking in at me! I took that to mean thank you and that she was all right.
