Good Morning Everyone...albeit a late
morning already....I've been a busy girl
this a.m.
Right now it is a brisk 3 degrees outside
with a wind chill factor of anything less
than 0 is cold? Ha Ha Ha!!!
Doesn't matter...my vehicle is now fixed
and running so I must venture outside
to start it up and maybe go to the grocery
store to get in some much needed supplies
to finish my Holiday baking, and to soothe
this savage beast.
This morning I wanted to share some videos
of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers from over
on Vimeo of their recent trip to Japan in regards
to the UN's 10th Conference of Parties to the
Convention on Biological Diversity, which took
place on October 19th in Nagoya, Japan. I'll
post a couple of links for the videos and you
can check everything out on Earth Foundation
once you get there...I love listening to Our
Blessed Grandmothers Voices!!! We need to
really listen well, and heed their call to action.
Grandmother Mona Polacca and Grandmother
Agnes Pilgrim Baker as well as others...

I hope you can make the time to hear them
speak from their Heart's Song...
And I leave you with this lovely poem sent to
me by my Beautiful Spirit Sister Sorrow who
made the most lovely Holiday Card with this
inscribed on it...it touched me deeply and now
I want to pass it along to all of you...
Thank You Sister Sorrow...I love you Dear Friend!
Blessed be the longing that brought you here
and that quickens your soul with wonder.
May you succumb to the danger of new growth.
May you receive great encouragement
when new frontiers beckon.
May you respond to the call of your gift
and find the courage to follow its path.
May there be kindness in your gaze
when you look within.
May you know tender shelter and healing
blessing when you are called to stand in
the place of pain.
May your outer dignity mirror and inner
dignity of the soul.
May you become the gracious and
passionate subject of your own life.
~John O'Donohue, Irishman~
Wishing for you all a day of courage,
dignity, and soul grace.....be kind to
yourselves.
In Divine Love,

Oh, what a lovely inscription for your card...reading it made me thing, that "yes" indeed it takes courage to grow to ones full potential - many people (myself included) never have, but as long as there's breath in us - there is a chance to try to reach for the stars.
Again, taking examples from nature, watching a flower grow and even bloom between the cracks in the asphalt (or a pothole) is a statement of sheer defiance and determination telling me that in even the smallest of things, we can find encouragement in nature.
Blessings to you and keep warm. Is that a photo of your white landscape? I love it!
Such wonder love you scatter about for us to gather and hold to our hearts to warm us on winter days!
Blessing and love to you dear heart!
Beautiful!
