Ladybug Totem

Posted on by elxroflife

Even, and especially in Winter, ladybugs seem to find their way into my home, always welcome. Did you know that a ladybug totem is associated with wishes fulfilled? Wishes with intentions. Intent makes all the difference for things to be in alignment.

Best Wishes for a Happy New Year where Love, Peace & Joy are the main players that all contribute to health. Where Love and Peace come into play, health is no longer a commodity. Where Joy comes into play, we can simply thrive. Joy of victory over challenges we faced, and the work we have done through traumas we all incurred.

Ladybug: Wish Fulfilled

The appearance of a Ladybug heralds a time of luck and protection in which our wishes begin to be fulfilled. Their presence signals a time of shielding from our own aggravations and pests.

Fall and Spring are the most abundant times for a person with a Ladybug totem. Higher goals and new heights are possible with a Ladybug totem. Worries begin to dissipate. New happiness comes about.

Ladybug also cautions not to try to hard or go to fast to fulfill our dreams. Let things flow at their natural pace, and in the due course of time, our heartfelt wishes will all come true.

In the Netherlands of all places…

Even people who work full time are standing in an ever growing line at their local food bank in the Netherlands 💔

The above linked video report is in Dutch. In summary:
▪︎Excessive documentation is required to even qualify according to staff at this local food bank in Amsterdam. It takes months for the impossible pile of documentation to be considered for approval. People who are waiting for approval also come to their neighborhood foodbank, and staff members pay from their own wallets so as to not have to send these neighbors home hungry.
▪︎Among people who stand in line (in the freezing cold and often in the rain, once a week) are people who work full time (remember “essential workers” caring for people who need assistance, yes people like that too!) and can no longer afford their rent & utilities, (personal note: thanks to the shit show with corporate NGO prompted EU & UN figureheads promoting war in Ukraine against Russia with 0 attempts at conflict resolution and diplomacy, we can see who foots the bill with the gas price hikes).
▪︎Each person gets what is allotted for them, little choice in the matter, and every weekly ration will cover four days, for the number of people as reported in their household, according to people standing in line for many hours. One person, a single mother who works full time, said she had to weigh the cost of missing these hours at work not getting paid vs. the break in having to pay for food. She shuts down the heat at night and on days her young daughter is with her other parent.
▪︎One man who used to live in poverty as a kid, learned about the foodbank from his son who worked at the foodbank. It was his birthday and he was shocked to see the long lines on social media. So he showed up, appeared to skip ahead and then turned around to give every person who stood in line €20 cash to spend as they wish.
▪︎People in the neighborhood also contributed money to create Christmas Packages for everyone with extra edible treats for the holidays.

In the Netherlands of all places… one of the wealthiest in per capita income among EU nations

If you work full time, and are unable to keep up with price hikes in rent and utilities:

Have you considered paying what you can afford and sending this payment with a note: “this is the maximum I can afford”? You never were asked to consent to these price hikes. Have you ever considered you may have the law on your side in these issues, as long as you continue to pay what you reasonably can?
