Hang on this ride is going to be a bumpy one! I am a stay at home mom of 4 children and wonder how I got here. Wasn't I just 18 yesterday??? I'm not aging gracefully and I have no intentions of doing so! I'm just trying to get along in this world where weird circumstances seem to find me. Trying to get by in this thing called life.
Also known widely as the Fire Bird, the phoenix is a profound symbol of life and rebirth. It has a life cycle of 500 to 600 years and after that amount of time, it sets itself on fire and dies in the flames. Then, after three days, it rises again from the ashes. It is a completely benign creature who lives in dew. It is said that the phoenix has a beautiful melodious song which grows ever more mournful as its life comes to an end. It is also a symbol of the sun and immortality.
