I am the mother of three beloved daughters. I am the grandmother of a dear little granddaughter. I am deeply and happily married to my Soul-Mate. I love my People: those who have gone on, those who are here now, and those who will yet come to be. Each of you is a hero to me!Here is a picture of me at a Gathering with my youngest daughter who walks the medicine path.How blessed I am in this life upon this good Earth. How thankful I am for the Lessons and the Blessings which come to me! How thankful I am for my life, my family, and my friends!I walk the Red Road and I walk in truth. I am here upon this path in the woods. I am here to listen and to occasionally speak. I pause in my spirit-walk and pay attention to what is said to me. I honor the Old Ones and remember lessons given to me. I remember old hands beautiful with veins. I remember old faces beautiful as trees. I hold up many names in my prayers. Always I try to make things better.The Earth is my Mother and I love her and for the Real People she holds healing and wisdom.But there are many wounded places and her cry howls in my bones and drives me from my sleep. What has been done to the Animals and Trees and Waters and Air howls in my bones and drives me from my sleep. And that which has been done to my People howls in my bones and drives me from my sleep, too. I pray for Teaching, I pray for Guidance, I pray for my senses' clear Perception! And then I pray for courage and strength!The Animals, the Trees, the Rocks, the Plants, the Waters, the four Winds, the Fire at my feet, I call you, my Brothers and my Sisters! Redtailed Hawk? He comes to me and I come to him. We have flown together. He has given me healing and taught me strength. My arms grew rich with feathers and I felt the wind and the Sun when I flew with him; some things in this life I will never forget.

I am thankful for my life, the wonder stuns me and shakes me and I beat my drum! And I go to the quiet places, they know me best, and there I send up prayers...

These words I will close with, for maybe they are the most powerful words of my life:All things are blessings
if with Grace we receive them
All things are lessons
if we so Perceive them.A ho!V-da-li (Lake)
So, Friend, dream your dream.. and then step into its mystery!
