Not sure if this is the right place for this question but -

For about 10 years I have noticed that anytime something significant happens or is about to happen in my life I have a cardinal cross my path (the bird, not the catholic clergy member )

I rarely think about cardinals and do not make a point of being more aware of them when something significant is happening - because I am focused on whatever events are taking place. But sure enough, these cardinals continue to fly by. One even perched on the door mirror of my car as I was in traffic one day.

Any ideas?
