Enjoying the Honey of Life

Working on St. John as a massage therapist means often being called out to a guests villa to provide your services there. The majority of the time this means having the opportunity to see alot of beautiful houses. It also means a fair share of poor directions, unfamiliar roads, narrow staircases and working within a cloud of mosquitoes. This week, I experienced an all new villa experience- guarding the entrance to the gate was a hive of bees and although I tried to be respectful of them, giving plenty of space, I still caught their eye.

Or they caught mine?...

One of the bees suddenly made a "bee-line" for my eye. He stung me approx. 3 times just centimeters away from my lash line. Fortunately I am not allergic to them, so aside from the minor discomfort I was able to continue with the work ahead and provide a wonderful massage.
Reflecting on this later in the day, I decided to do a search for what the bee might represent. For some reason it had felt more like a lucky charm rather than something to be grumpy about. I mean, really? How many people do you know who have been stung in the eye?
I was rewarded and inspired by what my search produced.

According to animal totem sites:
The Bee is the symbol of accomplishing the impossible. Aerodynamically, its body is too large for its wings and should not be able to fly. Although now we understand how it does fly (high rate of wing movement), the Bee remains a symbol of accomplishing anything you put your mind to.

Bee shows us we can accomplish what seems impossible by having dedication and working hard. It asks us to pursue our dreams with incredible focus and fertilize our aspirations. Bee teaches us to cooperate with others who have similar goals so we can learn how to help each other.

They ask us- Are we making time to savor the honey of life?

What a great message for a business owner and mother!

(The week following the bee sting meant a very swollen and red eye! janeiredale cosmetics to the rescue! A little conceal-delete #1 with a dusting of warm silk loose powder and it was hardly noticeable at all. Headed back to same villa today for return request- I hope I have learned the message the bee was telling me well enough!)
