Hummingbirds can fly forward or backward with ease.  Let’s use this as a reminder that we can “fly backward” and appreciate our past and “fly forward”, carrying the lessons and experience as we seek to define our future.

Hummingbirds are known to wing their way as far as 2,000 miles to reach their destination.  This reminds us to be persistent in the pursuit of our dreams and to adopt the tenacity of the hummingbird.

Hummingbirds are tireless, always seeking out the sweetest nectar.  In some Native American cultures, hummingbirds are emblems of timeless joy and the nectar of life.  They remind us to forever seek out the good in the life and the beauty in each day.  Let the hummingbird remind us all that this year’s theme is to “Share the Past, Build the Future” of ABWA.
