We recently returned from a trip that took us through the old west. We went through Oakley KS(named after Annie Oakley),and through Durango, CO. We stopped on the four corners site (which is part of the Navajo Nation), and the reservation. We also went through Sedona, Santa Fe, and Wichita.
There are so many tales of the old west in these regions. Train robberies, gold and silver mines, bordellos, ghost towns, gunfights. There are much older stories to be heard here, and we had the privilege of hearing a few, most notably the Long Walk.
The Navajo had a long return to their land where many died, much like the more famous(or infamous), Cherokee Trail of Tears. The story was told to us by a man named Joseph (the Navajo will never tell you their "war name", it is only to be used in ceremony). He showed us the Navajo Nation flag and told us about the Navajo losing their land and regaining it. He told of the Long Walk, and the sacred mountains.
I knew much of the story from living in the Gallup area, but learned more details and was told the mountain names in Navajo (and don't ask me to repeat them). The one name is so difficult to pronounce that even the Navajo have a nick name for it. They call it DZ, and the words translate to Turquoise Mountain. Others call it Mount Taylor. I lived in the shadow of Mount Taylor, and it is a beautiful place.
The Navajo are always wonderful to talk to . They are so helpful , and teach with a promise of nothing in return, the true Native American way. I then learned about arrows and their uses (besides killing), and about juniper seeds and their powers.
It was good to hear the Navajo language again, and I even found the local radio station so Matt could hear it before we even left Colorado for Navajo land. It is so funny to hear Navajo words, interspersed with words like "Coca Cola".
There was so much to learn, it was wonderful to be back in that area of the world, a place where people are so up front and genuine. The Navajo speak plainly, there is no dressing up of things. No hugging and "I love yous" that never come from the heart. Just honest genuine plain speaking. Joseph didn't worry about telling me the horrible things the whites did to his people, and I wasn't upset or insulted. I was interested and told him that I am glad that the story had a happy ending. A happy ending is important to all of us, and even more so the Navajo. Things always need to be brought back into balance, into beauty.
...and that was only a small part of the stories we heard, the information we learned, and the things we saw.
I thank Joseph and all the other Native Americans (who use the term "Indians" in that part of the world by the way), for all their kindness, friendliness, help, and sharing...also for all the beautiful things that they create (some of which came home with me!).
What a wonderful trip it was, and what a wonderful time with such purely wonderful souls!
Thank you western US, and the Navajo, Pueblo, and Hopi folks we talked to along the way! Thank you Navajo Nation for allowing us to traverse your land, and to stop and talk for a while.
Walk in beauty!

Mercury retrograde
Yes, I know I am supposed to be on hiatus.....but I received and email last night about Mercury Retrograde...and to wait til next week to answer, would just be too ironic!
Mercury retrograde began on March 30, and lasts until the 23rd. Some folks feel the effect for days or even weeks afterward. Retrograde mostly messes up communication. Misunderstandings, missed messages, computer errors, phone calls drop...
It also makes schedules go haywire.
Read any important paperwork a THIRD time before signing in retrograde.
ENJOY THE DAY! Retrograde or not!
I know I will!

Take a learning trip
I always encourage folks to take a trip to a new place. This shows us all kinds of new things. The trip can be for a specific learning opportunity, or just to experience new ways of doing things and thinking. We don't even have to leave this country.
There are many places in the US where not only are things done differently, but the food is different, the pace is different, the homes are different. New Jersey had a fast paced, up front, honest attitude. It was full of many cultures and excellent food.You could be in the mountains (and great ski locations), and hours later at the shore (not the beach). The best pizza in the world is there (invented by Italian immigrants in NY and NJ).
That was just my start. Everywhere I went it was different. From laws on your car, to the food.There were places where the traditions were totally different , like the Zuni reservation, Navajo reservation and Mormon towns of Utah.
you always learn SOMETHING.
I have so many places that I want to go. I do want to go back east to the big pow wows and the Narragansett and Pequot museums. I want to show Matt the east coast fun, even though he has experienced much of it. I want to go to the east coast pow wows that I have not been to in decades.There is nothing like the energy of fifty or more dancers in a ring with twelve people singing like there is no tomorrow, it gives you goosebumps.
Then there is the landscape. Rural Maine looks nothing like the Grand Canyon, yet the beauty of them both is remarkable. The people in each locale speak differently, not just accents, but local slang, timing, and speed.
There is so much out there in this country it is astonishing. I have been all over it, thirty four states to be exact, yet I know I have yet to see all the different beauty there is to offer! I will add two states to that tally this year, and hope to make all 50 before the end of this earthwalk.
I am taking a BLOG BREAK til April 18, when I will be back, just in time to write of Passover, Easter (or better yet Ostre). Enjoy the following days.
Learn, teach and grow.
Do the right things for the right reasons!

Nothing to fear
" I grew up hearing the elders speak about nature spirits, for instance, little creatures about two feet tall,that scamper through the forest. I heard tales about people using their spiritual energies to overcome physical obstacles that frustrated non-Indians." Tom Hathaway , Mohawk
Many times we experience movement out of the corner of our eye. We don't so much see something as know something moved. Sometimes our animals act strangely or stare together at something we cannot see. Sometimes we hear a noise that we can identify, but don't know why it would be happening at that time, like footsteps when no one else is there. Sometimes things disappear, only to reappear a few days later in a different location.
These things can startle you, no doubt. They can annoy you and your animals, but they rarely cause harm. Mischievous yes, malicious , no...unless you are disrespectful to them. They are many things, but most usually Nature Spirits. It is easy to keep them happy. Keep a green space, take care of your property, welcome birds, animals, and bugs into your yard. Keep it clean and groomed. There are times when these mischievous little fellows visit the human side of things just for fun. Their fun can drive us crazy! They can attach to possessions, come to you for help or to send messages.
Rarely is the unseen world dangerous to the average person. People who seek out spirits (especially where there are issues), cleanse homes, help people who are emotionally disturbed, or work in dark energy, are more apt to get scratched, pinched, hit, tripped, pushed or shoved. It happens. One important thing to remember, is that we usually have a say over it. A simple "Stop it right now!" Usually works wonders. Demonic energy is a whole other story, but an energy that many never encounter in their lifetime, you have to seek it out.
People who were nasty, mean , insane, while they were alive, will be so in death, unless they completely cross over. Those types of personalities rarely do cross as they are afraid of what awaits on the other side, like a punishment in a fiery hell. Instead they hang out between worlds. Yet to fear them is unnecessary. Just get rid of them. You can usually do it on your own, and SHOULD do it on your own, it works much better that way.
Yet Nature spirits, angels, guides, helpers, runners and the like , should all be welcomed in. They can help you with many things, and even though it is rarely easy work, it is also rarely difficult.
Gauge the intent of your visitors. Just don't confuse fear of the unknown and unseen, with something being "bad"!

I always learn something.....
I always learn something....always. Every situation there is something to learn. It may be big, it may be minuscule, it may have nothing to do directly with the situation at all...but there is always something to learn.
The most profound , but simple thing I learned lately, was this...how to know a friend.
You would think that would be easy. We were talking about friendships, people we don't see often, and how we react to friends of friends. I mentioned that there were people who I call "the mailing list". They are people that want an attachment, a life line, but really don't want to become involved. I notice also that they sometimes migrate to friends, and friends sometimes migrate to the "mailing list".
Then came the profound moment. I was asked, "Why keep a so called friend who is a person who doesn't even belong on the mailing list?"
HUH?
In other words, if they step back from friend, and still want friend benefits, but aren't doing a darn thing on their end, why keep them? I was asked why have a person who "needs" all the time? That is called charity, and you already give to those. I was also told that having friends who do things that are against your basic moral fiber is wrong, they should not be friends. I was asked, "why have friends who just want to say they know you, they aren't friends". Good question.
When you are psychic, you get all kinds of folks wanting free info. I don't mind giving out free info when people are distraught, it is part of why I am here, but when I become a crutch, that is a problem. I work all day helping people with questions, I don't need to "work" on my off hours. Dire circumstances, no problem. Things that aren't all that important, problem. Constant "dire circumstances", a whole other problem. When your life is a constant drama, you need more than psychic answers, you need to make changes, and big ones at that.
Getting back to the "friend conversation", I thought, sure, why have someone as a friend who takes, takes, takes. Someone who does things that I feel are "wrong", not just things I disagree with, but "wrong". This person was right, I was allowing people to be "friends" that did not have my best interests in mind, but theirs. I was allowing people to make promises again and again that they didn't keep. I was allowing people to take advantage.
My wise friend said to step out of that "needy" , and things will flow even more. Hmmm? I have the concept, but could having "needy" people around really slow the flow of things? I could see where it could slow the flow of new friends coming in, but other things? Yet, energy is energy...I would give it a shot.
The answer is yes, all things flow better. My wise friend says it is becasue we tell the Universe that we are learning and growing, that we give and expect what we give in return. We give strength, and want strong people. We give love, and want truly loving people, not bliss ninnies (I loved that they used my friend's label...).
Well, wise friend was right. I always believed in quality over quantity. I always believed that a "friends list" of 200 people you never met on Facebook, is a sign of insecurity and being needy, but I didn't know it went to such a degree.
Wise friend also said that once they are gone, real friends who were weeded, will ask why and accept your answer, maybe even change. False friends will either totally disappear (because they knew they were undeserving), or beat down your door because they need the attention. Again, they were right.
Choose quality over quantity.
Choose the right people to be around you.
Choose people that speak up for you when you are not there.
Choose people who give as much, or at least close to as much, as they take.
Choose people who are sincere and authentic.
Toss out the dead wood.
You can give love and forgiveness to people without being their buddy and going to tea with them every Tuesday. People confuse Universal love with a "friends list". They are totally different.
Things flow after the garden is weeded, as if a log jam were removed. My business last month, after weeding my garden, was my best month EVER. I got married (which , yes, was already planned), and it was wonderful. I have invites to some things this month that are awesome and fun, and some awesome new NA friends from my ancestor's Nation who are helping me with my lineage, songs, language, and tradition. I had wise people around me , but more were sent my way.
Don't just weed people, weed bad habits, clean out clutter...all these things block and stagnate energy. Move the furniture around if you have to, just make some positive changes because even if things are going well, they will go even better!
Also remember that the Universe is moving people into groups for the coming changes. "Like" will be more with "like". People who migrate to other groups are supposed to, let them go, but it helps to sort things out yourself, instead of waiting for the Universe to do it.
Quality over quantity.
Strength over weakness.
Honesty over deception.
Maturity over childishness.
Authenticity over fake.
Get your spring weeding done, it feels good when it is over.

Well now I know.....
Well, now I know why all those years ago I learned French, I was pretty good at it then and remember just about none of it now...however, once you look at words, you can figure most of it out. I have been reading documents in French. Reading records in French is not easy, but it is fun and exciting. I will say that the people of Quebec kept much better records than the US in those days!
I have been looking to find the bloodline that goes back to the Native American days in the 1600's. I know I will reach a point where I won't be able to get any further because Native Americans in the 1600's didn't keep written records. I know that there was a lot of mixing, intertribal and with the French, along the way. It seems my family fought each other in the French and Indian War. My Father's family was in Quebec for the longest time. I wonder , since the Abenaki tribe was so prevalent in the Quebec area during this time, if my ancestors had any dealings with them. There really are no pure Narragansetts or Pequots anymore, so much European interaction, tribal interaction, movement and acceptance went on in the 1600 and 1700's.
I am waiting for more family info (the paperwork exists with my half sister, wherever she is, if I had it, I wouldn't have to go through all of this.) She used it to try to obtain a job at Foxwoods way back when, but wasn't successful, and is who knows where. Foxwoods is a casino , one of the largest in the world, and it is owned by the Pequot.
The Pequot were nearly wiped off the face of the map. It came down to a handful of acres of land and about 5 hardy members and no cash. They managed to get more tribal members to come "home", then they fought for their land back and compensation. Through hard work and dedication, they brought more and more people back and eventually built Foxwoods. They were the most broke and broken tribe out there and after just a few years, are now one of the most successful tribes out there. Their history spans back to King Phillip's War and beyond, up to the present day, a beautiful casino and a wonderful museum. They teach, inspire and share. They are proof positive that there is no need to live in poverty, say "I can't", or blame the rest of the world for being in a negative life situation. They live on one of the oldest reservations in the country.
I at least know, that I am Masantucket Pequot ( SE Connecticut),and that helps to narrow things down, but I am stuck in the 1700's right now, which means I am steps away from a camp somewhere in the wilderness, but this will be the hardest part.
I am just hoping some paperwork shows up to let me know who was who, and where they all originated from.
It isn't easy, that is for sure. I found my mother's grandparents entering this country in the late 1800's, we are all new comers on my Mother's side.
Now tomorrow another addition to the family line, I will marry and take on a new name, and a new list of connections will suddenly pop up on the other side of the tree. Maybe I will get some paperwork for a late wedding gift!
See what you can find out about your family this weekend!!
