Notsothanks-giving

Ahh, Thanksgiving. I have taken to not celebrating this day, and instead, signed up to work, so someone else (who actually HAS a family) may be at home. To me, Thanksgiving signifies the beginning of the slow and very painful destruction of the earth and the indiginous people of "America". The day brings to mind the huge self interest egos of europe. The concepts of land ownership and the cramming of Christianity down the throats of anyone didn't practice it. And still, I know some Native Americans who celebrate the holiday without a second thought. I wish I could be more like them.
Through my studies I have learned that most Native leaders know that change is inevitable and seek to embrace those aspects of change that are for the greater good of the people. The trick is to not lose sight of your self, your traditions and customs, or your ancestral heritage while enjoying the spoils of change.....like crisp turkey skin.

Spirit woman

My energies are up, both physical and spiritual. When my spiritual energy is high, I become more creative, more receptive to spirit visitation, I dream more, and I am in good humor.
Last week I heard someone speak my name two seperate times while walking around the house. I dismissed the incidents, blaming the sound of the door swinging on it's hinges mimicking voice. Sunday morning I heard my name spoken so clearly and loudly, that it woke me up from my sleep. It was a female voice that I did not quite recognize. I realize now that I have dreamt of the same woman two or three times, and each time she has been giving me a message. Perhaps, after all of the failed attempts at trying to "meet" my spirit guide, she has come to me on her own terms.

Beginnings

(No matter how many times I type it, the word doesn't look right...)
I have decided to create a blog because my sister and brother have both created one and I think it is a cool idea, but also because I would like to get my views and thoughts out to the universe where they may do some good. I believe that perceptions are to be shared, even if you think they pertain solely to yourself.
I create this blog also in search of a teacher of natural wisdom. If you are out there you will find me. My teachers have come to me so far as books and the four-leggeds. I understand the four-leggeds better!
