On this Nuu-chah-nulth totem pole, Thunderbird, with wings outstretched, towers overhead. He perches on top of Raven, the creator of Earth, Light, and Consciousness. Raven's wings encompass the headdress of Boo-Qwilla, a person of knowledge, wisdom, and achievement. Legend affirms this ancestral human is Raven's most prized creation who is charged with the safekeeping of knowledge and the preservation of the earth. At the base, a supernatural Killerwhale transforms into a Wolf. This creature possesses magical healing powers which aid humankind.

That’s what the placard said.

I had really good and productive work meetings today and I went to Pilates at lunch time. I’m glad that I had some 1:1 time with my instructor, Carol, afterward because I’ve had trouble with getting a good calorie burn with Pilates. I’m excited to have a new workout in my repertoire that isn’t measured by calories, for once. Instead, I look forward to rebuilding my core strength 16 months postpartum :)
