So, where did the blog name come from?

Elephants have always intrigued me.  From the graceful way they sway their bodies while in motion, to their kind eye that carries so much emotion.  Elephants are said to have advanced sensitivity and social connection, determination and loyalty.  Symbolically, the elephant represents stability, honor, strength, luck, patience, pride, longevity, pride, happiness.

Throughout my life, I have felt a connection with elephants and how they are able to experience emotions and yet find strength to continue on.  In researching rescued elephants, I am amazed at how once abused by humans, they often are somehow able to find strength to trust again.  Perhaps this similarity to man kind is what allows the reconnection?

I believe that everyone has a little “Elephant Aura” in their life, as sensitivity, loyalty, determination and social connection are what make us human.  We may feel weak, vulnerable and untrusting of others at times, but we must focus on our strength, pride, honor and determination to seek happiness in the world.
