The Cardinal.
Usually when I see Cardinals, it’s like one or two, maybe three, max. Never have I ever seen so many all at once. Every day this week at work I have seen at least ten every morning. They hang out, dig in the rocks, fly away when cars come in, fly back when they leave and get back to foraging. So many at once, so many days in a row, so my curiosity grows. Here’s what I find, other than the few random people who seem to think they are ‘evil’….
First find.
Cardinals encourage us to express our brilliance and reveal our truest selves. Their radiant red is a symbol for us to recognize the gifts in our hearts that we have to give to others in love and friendship.

Lessons Cardinal Teaches
He teaches people that balancing spiritual ideals with physical needs and pleasures is important for all levels of harmony in life. Another lesson is helping people learn to express truth clearly and confidently.
The cardinal reminds people that diet is very important for physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual well being. He reminds people to maintain a sense of pride and to walk with confidence, nobility and grace.
Third find.
Cardinals show up to teach you responsibility and how to have the courage to be who you are and let yourself stand out in the crowd. When you see this little bird it can often mean a little happy surprise that is coming to “color your world” or to provide a blessing in your life that will encourage you on your current creative or inspired endeavors…..a period where you may be more socially active and involved than usual. They can also speak of successful business developments.
Fourth find.
Such an awesome article, I can’t just cut and paste, you should just go and read, possibly even be inspired whether you are seeing Cardinals or not….
I can’t say with positivity what I think it all means but I do find it positive. If anything they definitely brighten my mornings!
