The FROG….a symbol of evolution and change - a perfect accent for spring!


SPRING is about GREEN and …well “springing” into action. The Frog is GREEN and certainly knows how to SPRING into action on many levels!

The FROG symbolically represents transition and change in its unique three stage growth cycle from egg to tadpole then ending as a fully formed amphibian. It undergoes incredible transformations throughout these three phases and understands what serious growing pains are all about in order to reach the destination of full adulthood, and so do we as human beings.

In China the Frog is an emblem of Yin energy and thought of as good luck. Putting a figurine or image of a Frog in the east window of your home encourages positive flow of chi for happy family life according to ancient Chinese custom.

Frogs are also good luck symbols in Japan - especially for travelers. Images or charms of Frogs were worn during long voyages to assure safety (particularly across water).

I know we can all use some positive CHI in our lives on a personal as well as professional level and that is why I have embraced the FROG and use his symbol in my home to bring about positive change and positive CHI flow.
