Yesterday my toddler and I were greeted on our path by a dragonfly who seemed to appear out of nowhere.
She came flying directly in front of us, stopped and hovered right in my eyeline for around 30 seconds, once we connected, she flew back and forth and around us a few times (much to Ember’s delight).
I felt she had a message for me in that moment and served as a reminder from the fairy realms to not let the current chaos and darkness affect me, really stepping into more and more lightness.
I had put our encounter aside and of course today have been presented with more dragonflies as a reminder, so a quick search found some more detailed information that may also resonate with some of you should your path cross with a dragonfly this week.
