LITONYA: is the Indian name for "darting hummingbird."

The Hummingbird animal totem is a messenger of hope and jubilation.
According to Native Americans, Hummingbirds are signs of:
• energy • vitality • joy • renewal • healing • persistence • peace • infinity • agility • playfulness •loyalty • affection
It is not commonly known that the fluttering wings of the hummingbird move in the pattern of an infinity symbol - further solidifying their symbolism of eternity, continuity, and infinity.
By observing the Hummingbird, we see they are seemingly tireless, always actively seeking the sweetest nectar. They remind us to forever seek out the good in life and the beauty in each day.
Amazing migrators, some Hummingbirds are known to wing their way as far as 2000 miles to reach their destination. This quality reminds us to be persistent in the pursuit of our dreams and adopt the tenacity of the Hummingbird in our lives.
The Hummingbird's most important message:
"The sweetest nectar is within!"
So that should explain the new header.

In human terms, a hummingbird is on a sugar high.
It's an omen for me to take in more sugar to stay active.
I do like the new header, too.
