Dear Miss Tick

Congratulations on your recent discovery.  Finding one's totem animal is a thrilling part of the journey...

I can imagine that you were somewhat dismayed and confused by what has come
to you in your dream, but I have no doubt that we will tease out its
meaning in your life.

As you say, you had a dream in which you were fairly covered with these troublesome creatures.

I, too, was a bit surprised at your report, although I will confess that my own
totem animal was also quite a shocker!
More about that later...

I can only imagine your distress as they pounced from all directions....

Please do you make yourself a cup of nice hot tea....  I will do the same.
And then we will see what can be learned...

Until then, with a little smile, I now dub thee  'Miss Tick'.....
