A Bit About Hummingbirds

Called a New World bird because it is native to North, Central, and South America, the hummingbird is considered by some to be a symbol of love, peace, and happiness. Ancient cultures revered the hummingbird for its tireless energy; Native Americans saw it as a symbol for attaining the seemingly impossible and living a joyful life of self-discovery.

Hummingbirds can fly up to 27 mph and flap their wings 80 times per second!

The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn't matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark.
