Come Rain or Come SHine

Morning To A new Week

Coffee is better than I remember

this time last week

so I'm thinkin

Memories dim from day to day

and

week to week

And

the green is greener this morning

after gentle rains of last night

and

storms of life for many last week as well.

Come rain of come shine

I can' help but remind me and you

"storms never last ... do they?"

But those storms can take us by surprise and be fierce

when they come from what seems to be no where

at the time.

As can cumulative effects of storms

or

angst, or pain untreated by illness or circumstance

or

from the poor or ugly treatment

or

mistreatment of others.

I'm thinking one of the worst things in the world is that of ugliness that is suffered by the hands of others in this world of ours; and when added that it is

dealt by the hands of those we love

it can take quite a toll on the system

just like illness, and like over extended our bodies

to limits of an athlete for those of us

who do not have bodies that are primed and trained

as great athletes?

Does that make sense?

There have been times

I have been thought of to talk in rhymes

and

when my story-telling is hard to understand for some

as I blend stories to connect to real life situations...

That is amazing still at times to me

since when using similar stories

to those in situations of trauma, shock and real life

crisis

have through the years understand

the weavings as though they were fine crystal

have understand clearly the metaphors

and the stories of

"storms never lasting"

and things like

"somedays you are the headlight, and somedays you are the bugs"

><

Come Rain or Come Shine was a great song back in the day, with lyrics that millions loved...

AND

Come Rain or come shine

is a great thought to start the week I'm thinking.

It all starts within if you remember

with "that which resides within YOU"

the Universal Oneness of that within loves you

and

allows you to thrive and survive great sorrows

greater dissapointments in life, and in others.

YOU

are your greatest resource

and

only you can weather the storms of life

and continue to believe

in

you and in your dreams and realities.

BUT

you must first put on your oxygen mask

and

Breathe deeply, practicing self care and

attend to that which is most important in life:

and that is

YOU.

Storms of life,

also known as;

pain, illness, "dis-Ease" caused by others and hurtful words, actions, and otherwise "things of this world"

must be the first priority, and then

you are able to

SHINE

to hear and to see

and to be able to acknowledge the possibilities

of the world around you and its challenges.

It is only then that you can embrace self and others

taking a stand for you.

"If you do not stand for something you will fall for anything"

The challenges are great in life, there will always be others attempting to throw knives at your dreams and unfortunately at those who are the dreamers.

BUT

that is where resiliency comes in.

However in order for a person to outshine the sun

and to be able to

"dance in the rain"

rather than hide inside afraid of getting wet in the rain.

YOU must be feeling well enough

be strong enough to stand.

AND

that my friends being brave enough

to attend to yourself with kindness

and

to seek assistance, to go and find a doctor when needed, a therapist when needed,

and

to

remember

"there is no shame in asking for what you need"

Of course

you also have to be rested and out of pain enough

to be able to hear and to absorb what is said

when you ask and when you are doing all these things.

Cos'

I tell you

exhaustion, trauma, pain, and illness

can take you away from ration and from the ability

to function and to receive what you want and need.

Sometimes

you just need to lay still and

"sit with it for about three days" and let yourself

catch up to your body

and

rest.

Our bodies have a remarkable way of listening to our brain when they join together and say:

"STOP" you have abused me enough!

I am going to create on hell uv a storm,

one that makes you lay down and just "be"

so that you really get it.

there is balance to maintain,

and

sometimes

We can only shine through the rain

if we

"sit with it"

Oh boy, I bet I have confused those who do not understand my words good today!

I heard from some lovely people over the week-end by email; thank you for thinking of me.

And to dotti up North; congratualtions on a successful eye surgery>>> bet the world is a brighter place for you!

Welcome home from NY Chris, hope the Oncologist had great reports for you Warrior!

Sissy Two Wolves in South Dakota hope that bug has left the state and the "red nose is leaving as well Rudolf"

EE in Co, HOPE the dream is alive and the land is on its way to you.

STOMP

><

So then

there you go.

The sage is filling the air, with thoughts of healing ways on the winds to all who know who they are

as the week begins froma freshly washed by the rains

Florida home and area here.

May your week be filled with love, hope, dreams

that you claim and make your own

Here's to your greatest realities!

STOMP

The fire is burning brightly, its embers are hot.

Blessings to all.

Sunday Morning

blessings to all

"Our Ancestors depended on each other to survive, to thrive" Perhaps we need to dig deep, to listen hard to their messages know that come on the winds, through the trees and in our hearts;

 to depend on that knowledge and their messages sent even now and allow them

 to heal us,

 to give us strength

 to move on, to stand straight and to know,

we

are survivors,

 and we choose to thrive.

Like the great willow

we may bend but we will not be broken.

Good morning friends on this Sunday morning

as

the coffee is hot and good,

the day about to begin for many

while others around the globe are in full swing.

Many are waking

renewed, with new understandings

new

Passion for their lives

many are making great decisions today

while others are

laid back in Sunday mode.

Whatever you are doing

and wherever you are,

I wish you all that you dare to dream

and

HOPE to be.

Blessings and right way relations for all as

the fire bowl is fired up,

the sage is filling the air this morning

with prayers

on the winds.

STOMP

It's Been A ride This Week

OH BOY

NEVER HAVE CARED

FOR

THOSE TYPES OF RIDES!!!

BUT

ohhh, HOW EXCITING THEY ARE!!!

"Life is a grand adventure or nothing at all" (Helen Keller said it) but remember she did not see a Roller Coaster like this one, nor did she live in the days of them flying at this pace!

Good morning mornin

as light has just greeted me with a

wonderful cup of coffee

and I swear I just heard the "distinctive screech of the Eagle this morning"

It's been quite a week I tell you.

Mom goes and leaves Florida, leaving the house and my bed, and dishes up to the dogs to tend to and they are doing a terrible job I must just add.

And, I hear that last night, little 9year old Kamryn had a date with Mom to go and enjoy

the Red Lobster and week-end with Mom

(there goes my inheritence I tell you, spent on the Godsons, poof, gone)

haha

and

Meanwhile the week has been filled to the rim

with much happening and doing all across the lands.

http://www.bear.org/

Lily and her tribe out there are sooo funny

and

they are out of that den and just exploring to their hearts content,

boy those little ones can make some noise

often startling the 4 leggeds here making them bolt out of their beds and bark while running half way around the pool before realizing it is

HOPE and the siblings!

Visit them for a minute

you will be captivated.

We could learn so much from

the North American Black Bear

if we would only watch

and put it to practice in our lives!!

I am preparing for KS, and so hoping to see

Oz,

but I know that I will get to see those there at

Comfort Keepers KS who are celebrating

10 years of taking care of their own

their as they provide care for those

in the community

Congratulations Stephen Bright and Linda

for all you are doing for the community!

><

AND

Out there in Wounded Knee South Dakota

where friends

Jane and Walter LittleMoon

are living

I was able to have a

phone call with Jane

after over 20 years

and as we talked

it seemed there had been no distance

and we talked for over 155 minutes

and

we laughed, drank coffee together, and

I cried and felt the sorrow on a level that suprised even me

as she told me stories of

Walter and his friends there

who had endured the tortures of

the

Indian Boarding Schools

as

now a grown man who

is also a Veteran of the Military

has come eye to eye

with that torture he suffered as a child

now that we can diagnose and know to be

 

COMPLEX-POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

JANE and I talked for so long, we caught up

friends from so long ago.

Their book

"They called Me Uncivilized"

is now "required reading" at a couple of Universities.

We are now trading book for book.

I can tell you all this much I know:

I am honored to call

Walter LittleMoon my friend;

and to tell you

he is NOT uncivilized, nor has he ever been.

He is a man of great honor, of spirit that has been badly badly bent his lifetime,

BUT

I can remember him sitting at my table in Arlington VA, and us laughing, and of him standing beside me,

 (OH MY is he one tall Indian)

AND

he sure can make some delicious

Fry Bread

and

I can tell you this

He is a Proud Lakota Man

a Man

 I am continually amazed by.

AS for Jane?

She is perhaps one of the most passionate women I have ever met,

and funny as hell (and ok, maybe there have been times we've sat around the table and laughed so hard it was a tad uncivilized but nothing for the govt to clame as such)

AND

I always knew in my heart

she would walk beside Walter

as I knew

just because I knew they were to be together.

AND

how crazy is that?

From Greenwich CT to Wounded Knee

so,

there you go.

><

AND

during all of this

Sissy Two Wolves

out there in South Dakota has been as sick as sick can be with some kind of bug that will not let go of her,

and

meanwhile

the Spider' Web

has of course reached out and connected

she and Jane and Walter

of our connections

as

she is

in Custer which is a few short hours

from Wounded Knee!

AND

so

during all of this

(stay with me here)

I am hearing daily updates from our friends

EE and son CJ

who have travelled like settlers of old from one side of the mountains of Colorado

to the other

in search of their dream

and to be in the vast wilderness

but

also within driving distance to a better and complete Cancer Center of Denver.

They are now

in Rio Cucharas Inn

where they have re--discovered old friends

the Innkeeper, Leroy and stafff

and

embraced as "family" there

as they go day by day looking for that place with land

to call "home"

and

I cannot help but wonder

"how is it all of this in the same week"

such excitement, such UPS and Downs

of

friends across the states.

Friends making their

"dreams become realities"

It reads like a western movie out there in Colorado and here is that link:

https://workthedream.wordpress.com/

Now I realize you may have to read this more than once today,

but

also

during all of this

on

WEDNESDAY

my girl Olivia

took the soccer field

after having broken her ankle in two places when the season started last year... that led to a damaged growth plate, >>>

which

led to both growth plates having to be

"bored through" killing both

in a surgery that turned out to be

a traumatic experience for both

Olivia and Joan

(which the experts at Johns Hopkins said Olivia would never remember)

BUT

brilliant ones, YOU WERE WRONG ON THAT

and

now both are traumatized

and

The Nana is

well how shall we say this

....

OK, I'll say it, The Nana, is

HOT ABOUT IT STILL.

BUT

Olivia on Wednesday

now healed

thanks to

the recovery time spent with

her great mama and her super Nana

and

a healing ceremony by

Kelly Two Wolves by phone

OUR OLIVIA TOOK THAT FIELD

AND

RAN LIKE A PONY IN THE WIND

AND

KICKED PUNTED THAT PALL HALF WAY ACROSS THE FIELD SHE DID

AND

SAYS, "NANA IT WAS AWESOME, TELL EVERYONE THANKS FOR THINKIN OF ME, AND NANA, THE WARRIOR WAS THERE, I FELT IT"

<>

So, there ya go.

AND

then I hear from cuz in Virginia

that she passed her recent certifications for her work up there at Highland Ridge!!

Congrats Angie, you best get a new pair of shades for your eyes Warrior as I believe the future is so bright for you that they will be needed!

STOMP

Mean while, did i tell you the little four leggeds are doing a pitiful job where Mom left off?

No beds made, no dishes no vacuuming and no mopping of floors???

MOMMMM

so,

when Mom had her last weekend,

and

we all know Mom is

COB

We had time with dear friends Laura and Mitch.

Well now

they have a 2 year old grandson

named

BEN

and when Ben met

COB/MOM

he looked her in the eye

and said this:

"Hi COB, HOW U DOIN" and I thought my Mom and I would just lay down and die laughing!

BUT

of course unless you knew what COB for mom was her now "nickname" known across the land, you would not think this as funny!

AND

during this

did I mention, my dear friend in Northern VA

popps up on chat with this question,

"I'm going to the church tonight where they channel dead people, what question should I ask"

ONLY my life this week would have such fun!!!

Oh yes, also I am getting to go to Missoula and Billings in May, and of course it is via Denver

then to Missoula where then you drive 200 miles to get to Billings and then 175 to get to the next place!!!

haha

ah, just what the week needed

><

and THEN

the week ends with

the

Beloved

Elizabeth Taylore dying peacefully with her children present.

Being late to her funeral

but

early enough to keep those village idiots and their signs away,

such a class act

our

Elizabeth Taylor.

Now I've brought you up to speed here

and the roller coaster of life

in Florida,

topped off last night by opening the front door to Christmas with packages there to open!

ONE: a box of dark chocalate candy Mrs See's

with this card attached:

"while I was there I ate your whole box, so I got you some! Love MOM"

oh no, I thought the sin had been removed!

Thanks Mom!!!

BOX 2

the card reads

"Happy Late St Patricks Day

I'm a bit late in the baking of my soda bread, Love you Eileen"

and there it was

oh my does it smell wonderful and is it heavy and fresh

Eileen's homemade IRISH SODA BREAD

which DLB immediately grabbed and ran to the kitchen with!!!

Bet I know what is for dinner tonight!

my coffee needs a refill before I go in search

of

that Eagle I think is now residing in the trees

of the property behind me.

I am so excited I can barely contain myself!!!

Hope the wagon trail and property search in Colorado is going well today,

that Chris in NY is getting great results up there as she spoils the family while being a bit "cold",

that Walter and Jane are doing great things in the chill of Wounded Knee and holding the little ones there tightly, then set them free to fly out,

that two wolves will soon be well, it is past time to feel good and for spring to come to you,

and that Irene of this page is healing her recent losses by embracing each day tightly and blowing bubbles...

So,

with all that is happening here,

HOW WAS YOUR WEEK?

DLB came home with the icing on the cake as she said one of her employees walked by yesterday wearing a "I'm allergic" sticker.

As DLB thought it serious she took a closer look only then to realize

this employee had carefully written

each and everyone's name on the little sticker

and

was wearing it on her chest!!!

AND yes, it included "DLB"

NOW THAT IS FUNNY and CREATIVE

her symptoms when asked>fever!@!!

hahaha

SO, now u know, it's been a week

the fire is burning brightly, its embers are hot. thoughts on the winds to all who enter here.

Walk In Beauty,
