Noelle M. Meade-Izzi: Spiritual Pollination

Noelle M. Meade-Izzi’s utter delight and passion for bees, birds, butterflies and bats makes her their leading advocate at a time when mysterious declining hive census, diminishing habitat and various other threats are looming large on the horizon, leaving us facing a global natural crisis. For Noelle, the crisis is also spiritual. She sees how nature uplifts and embraces us with its beauty; it reminds of us of goodness and our connection to all things. In her book, The Hummingbird That Answered My Heart's Calling, Noelle recounts her own story of her three-month sojourn with a mother hummingbird, Artemis, and one tiny nestling --and how that encounter brought her back from the brink of despair. Noelle found herself awash in fear and anxiety, facing the option of taking recommended anti-anxiety drugs. But it was Artemis that provided the inspiring encounter that began Noelle's journey of discovery and healing. Her bookis a paean to the loveliness and goodness that pervades the natural world, and the conduit to our own spiritual nature that we can experience through this intimate connection. bee-nevolent.com
