A Sea Turtle looks like an EXCELLENT totem for you! :)Maybe every KO

ought to have one!

A portion follows:

Turtle symbolizes both new beginnings and endings. It is through the

ending of something that allows space for something new to arise.

This ending may be of an outer circumstance or a change or shift that

occurs within ourselves. There may be a sense of loss or even grief

over what has passed and yet it is through the energy of Turtle who

is very long lived and thus very wise, that we can come to understand

why something did need to leave our lives. Turtle can help lead us to

that space where we can finally move on, to let go of what has been,

celebrate it for the gifts it gave us and finally to turn and head

for a new shore....

Turtle can also teach us about boundaries at this time. When a Turtle

feels threatened, it pulls into its shell, cautiously peering out

when it senses the threat may have passed. So too at times do we all

need to pull into our shells if someone comes at us too quickly or

appears to need more than we can possibly give them. Taking the time

to put a bit of space and distance between ourselves and the other

person/situation can save us much grief in the long run! Its always

okay to take as much time as one feels the need to suss things out,

to watch as something develops over time before making a committment

or even getting a second opinion from someone we trust if need be....

Congratulations on your marriage!
