---Cherokee Prayer Blessing----May the Warm Winds of Heaven Blow softly upon your house. May the Great Spirit Bless all who enter there. May your Mocassins Make happy tracks in many snows, and may the Rainbow Always touch your shoulder.*************************************************** *******-- An Indian Prayer --O' GREAT SPIRIT, Whose voice I hear in the winds, And whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me! I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom.Let Me Walk In Beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.Make My Hands Respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.Make Me Wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people.Let Me Learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.I Seek Strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy...myself.Make Me Always Ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.So When Life Fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.--(translated by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark in 1887) ********************************************************** When a child, my mother taught me to kneel and pray to Usen for strength, health, wisdom and protection.-Geronimo- Chiricahua Apache-***************************************************** ***** Words have the power to both destroy and heal.

I am married to a wonderful man,he brings joy to my heart.I am a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. My husband and I will be celebrating 40yrs. this August 10th , 2007. We have 3 grown children, 4 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson. I have been truly blessed. I have had my moments in life that were difficult, but I have the Creator to give thanks to for the strength to pull through those times in my life. In 1983 I started on a spiritual journey that I am still on. I have been attracted to study all religions and beliefs ancient and present during all these years. By doing so I have developed a relationship with a Higher Power personal to me. I have learned that I can find God in all beliefs if I look for it. So I have developed a very open mind during this process .I am universal in my thinking about God issues today. I had a hard time with that relationship a long time ago and I continue to work on it. So I use a variety of tools to help me from all of these cultures. I really am attracted to the Eastern ways, Buddhist meditation I practice everyday.I associate with Native American because I am close to nature and my relaitionship to my Cherokee ancestors. I was raised Roman Catholic and the thought of having Angels close by give me comfort.My Irish ancestors attaction to the fairy world and dragons and old world beliefs are a part of me also, and also being close to Mother earth. The old world of the ancients has fasinated me all of my life so I continue to stay open minded and learn new things all of the time.I do not belong to any organized Religion. I consider myself a spiritual being. I practice my beliefs privatly between myself and our Creator. My creations represent all things to all mankind. It is a gift that I am very grateful for. It gives me lots of pleasure.I wish to share them with all of you. If you are interested just send me a note and I will give you more info!Many Blessings & Love to all of you!
