Animal Totem Blend – Grackle

Grackle is a brash sounding word; it evokes the qualities of a creature that is abrasive and stubborn. It’s hardly a surprise, then, that the grackle describes a bird that is a bold, noisy, and polarizing opportunist. Grackles are commonly found in urban environments. They thrive off of human leftovers and are extremely resourceful. Their adaptability combined with their brazenness around humans and their tendency to make lots of noise, has led them to be seen by many as a nuisance animal. In all fairness, the grackle is a decidedly gregarious bird. They are notorious for their repertoire of songs and calls which range from chattering calls and whistles, to squeaky metallic shrieks. Grackles approach life with an audacious attitude and are rarely deterred by the presence of humans in their vicinity. Repressed emotion has no place with Grackle. Release what you do not need, then find joy in what’s right in front of you.

Bottom line, Grackles really don’t care what you think—when you need to stop the cycle of people-pleasing or allowing your decisions or happiness to be connected to what others think of you or how you live your life uncork your Grackle blend! Eat the french fries, sit in a tree and scream, flock to those who offer treats and if they don’t, fly directly at them and just take what you gotdamn want.
