Full transparency, I was overwhelmed by the state of our nation this morning and had a good cry. On my walk, I saw a bald eagle and I’m taking that as a sign.

I saw one in Midway Utah about 3 weeks ago. There's a lot here in Utah. But you don't always see them in residential areas like this. It is indeed a sign of better things to come. 💙
Thank you! Thank you! I was watching the gliding and thinking, “Do eagles circle like that? The shape its wings are looks like a vulture.” Faith restored in life in general. Cry it out. I’m at like 8 good cries in the last 2 days.
Don’t give in to fear. That’s what they want. Steel your resolve, dig in your heels, and know that there’s a lot more of us than them. Sending you love, and solidarity. 🫂
I believe that too. America won't be the same or look quite the same as it did before, because that didn't work-that's why we're here right now. It will be so much better. For ALL people.
"... In some Native American cultures, the bald eagle is considered sacred and is often associated with healing, vision, and power. It's believed that seeing a bald eagle is a sign that someone is watching over you ..."
Not to be negative Nelly but did you see he also cut the “Eagle Protection Act”? Ughhh. 🦅
PS We have to believe that light will come out of this darkness. Hang in there.
I'm British but I absolutely love that bird it's a stunning creature, I'd take it as an omen to do whatever little you can to help in this awful situation , even the smallest creatures can make a difference with the smallest actions , I'm really hoping you can collectively fix this
Knowing that we have each other, even though we don’t know each other most definitely helps. Knowing others care enough to cry and share their feelings makes us feel connected, which is so needed now. I’ve started yelling out loud in my house when no but my dog is here. Asking the universe WHY???
Take heart. Americans can be counted in to eventually do the right thing when they feel sufficient pain. Trump is bringing pain. We need to ensure that, but justice will ultimately prevail over him and his Nazis. We will not tolerate injustice.
I saw your post and it brought me great comfort. Then I saw your name and both have very special meaning to me, I’m taking that as a bigger sign that I was meant to see your post as a sign that things WILL BE okay again. 🇺🇸💙Thank you (bonus:I’m also a horror nut, meant to be 🧟♀️👻)
If you saw a bald eagle, take that as a sign that the environmental policy decisions of the last few decades has helped reduce the lead in the environment. Support the EPA.
When they call out and fly/glide in a circle, they are calling out for their mate.
Mine were so far up in the sky last week, could barely see them. They were calling to each other, dancing on the updrafts, going higher with each circle!
Listen for the one again-hope it finds its mate(it was a sign)❤️
Oh my gosh, I just had a crying jag in the car, begging God to intervene because the pain of this is more than I can bear. May I share in your omen? Desperate for any ray of hope.
I feel a deep connection to your emotions, and they truly resonate with me. It's hard to process the state our country is in, and honestly, it brings me to tears almost every day. I never imagined we would find ourselves facing such challenges. Hugs to you, Ms. Hartman💚
Big hugs to you. I believe that the current state of your country is untenable and change for the better is inevitable. Action is the answer to despair. Sending love from across the ocean. 🥰
I cried, too. Heard squawking birds but no eagle. Barely see yours. But you know what? I’m trusting you on this one. We all need something to hold on to!
You're not alone. I think Karma took a vacation to recharge for the business ahead. With this administration, she's going to be really, really busy. Don't lose hope because that's what they want. 🫶🫂🫶
Sadie, we all feel the same. So you cry, brush away the tears, give gratitude for all the good things in your life (like seeing a bald eagle) and regroup. Resist where you can. Protest. Write postcards to help candidates. Use social media. Whatever you can. Together we WILL change this horror. 🥰💙🇺🇸💙
I’m Canadian. Please don’t put too much weight on signs because a Canada goose was seen in filmed winning a fight against an American bald eagle in my former neighborhood.
A sign of what? They're quite beautiful in a picture. They're ginormous vulture-like predators that snatch your kitty cat, little dog, or chickens right out of your yard!! They used to be endangered. Now they're just dangerous. Like the black crows, "Pall bearers in the sky. Somebody's gonna die!"😱
I saw one fly across the highway in Nevada. Let us think in a positive manner and be real too. This guy could care less about anything but him. #NotMyPresident
Interesting—at my house I saw a turkey vulture and a potato bug (also called Jerusalem Cricket). Don’t look u the later if you don’t know what it is. Looks like an alien and I won’t be responsible for the nightmares
Sending love from Australia - we are seeing MAGA growing in Australia and we are already fighting on a daily to ensure a MAGA or trump minion doesn’t get into power - good luck and hopefully your eagle brings good change
I too find myself in the throes of a "good cry" occasionally--for what was, what could have been, what should be. My tears vascillate between the angry and the mournful. In the end, I resolve to remain resistant, hopeful, and faithful. "Signs" like the one you shared are helpful. Thank you for that.
Same here! I slept like a baby the whole time President Biden was in office because I felt safe. I haven't slept a full night since T🍑 was declared the winner! 😱
Can NOT be trusted.
Completely erratic.
Racist.
Bigoted.
Womens' rights eviscerated.
Bullying & threatening long-standing allies.
THIS is NOT "great".
I'm ashamed to be an American nowadays.
America is in a free fall to Oligarchy & Facism & no one in power has the brains or guts to STOP IT.
Take heart.
MANY people feel upset and frustrated and angry about the state of things.
Here’s what you can do:
Take a walk every day.
Focus on your blessings during the walk.
When you get home, allow yourself an hour to make phone calls, send emails, etc.
Then go do something ELSE.
It will help!
Earlier, I was reading a story on the BBC News’ website about some americans feeling awkward in Paris. They were worried that having a stars and stripes badge might cause them grief, so they taped over it, but if they’d done nothing more than pin that badge upside down, they’d have been OK.
The week before the election I couldn’t stop seeing them. I saw four in one day as I drove from NC to Jersey. In my life they are always there when things are rough. Love them.
I am happy for you, Sadie. I also feel comforted when I see a Bald Eagle. I often go to the river to absorb their power, their strength filled with confidence and great determination.
Keep the eye in the sky for one never knows when one will appear.
❤️🩹 our country is shit rn and a lot of people feel like we need to fully get rid of our current system but…
i feel like we need to return to our core principles and the initial ideas of the constitution and declaration of independence. i have hope that we will see justice and progressive patriotism
We have Turkey Buzzards in Ohio. they are glorious to watch when they swarm like this. I will post one sometime this summer when I see them.
Here is an older pic.
I love this! I get so excited to see them. We were up in Lake Tahoe some years ago now and saw one. There has also been sightings of one in Alameda, CA (which is across the bay from San Francisco)
Because if I saw one where I live I might take it as an ominous sign since I have never seen one here in my entire life and I am 68. I was just asking how.
That was probably a bald eagle headed north to exile in Howe Sound, BC Canada, where he will consort with his thousands of cousins - numberless Canadian bald eagles and golden eagles. They are everywhere you look here.
🇺🇸💙 Our America! I feel it, too. Threats, violence, lawyers who no longer deserve membership in the ABA, intelligence agencies acting like obsequious fools, a personal-to-the-POTUS DOJ, a conservative supreme court majority existing to rule in his favor; it's impossible. We're the ones to act on it.
Around the Seattle area they're honestly a bit of a pest - they bully the ospreys. Certainly the sign of a healthy ecosystem that we can support such parasi... ah shit sorry politics again.
Love it! I seen a bald eagle last week close to my home and I was so excited. I've lived in this part of Michigan my whole life and have never seen them in person. How exciting to see so many in action
Getting out into nature is a soothing balm. Especially in springtime. I didn’t leave my house for 5 weeks after the election because I was grieving for all the horrors to come. But I am encouraged now by others. We’re in this together! Cheers. 💙🦋
I hope and pray you are right, Sadie. My anxiety has been off the charts lately. I hope we can keep our democracy. Remember the bald eagle that nipped and balked at Trump? That was a sign too! That eagle wanted nothing to do with that traitor. Take care. We'll get through this. We have to.
Today I had my first cry in a long time. The cruelty of this administration has torn my heart up. ❤️🩹 May we turn this ship around soon. Somehow. Some
way.

I pray it was a sign as well.

Keep the Hope Alive!
That there is vermin or other prey nearby?
But we all need to breathe… we all need a break.

😍☮️
Sacred.
A sign of blessed well.
Put down a bit of pouch tobacco to honor him/her.
For the grace of seeing those wings.
Was it this one?
That said, always remember…
- From darkness comes light
- From light comes hope
- With hope comes strength
- And with strength comes rebellion
…To build a better world to reclaim morality, truth & facts as the bedrock of a new nation.

It's not a sign of mental health if you are at peace with the fascistic movement being lead by the sitting president and aspiring autocrat.
On the other hand being overwhelmed or feeling depressed, sad, exhausted, or outraged... are signs of mental health in this context

It will not be second for long. Things are going to get way worse!

If you want it to be a symbol of the state of the USA right now …
way.
And I must mention, I truly do sympathize with you.
