I remember being a kid with a struggling family, some days I'd look up to the sky and pray so hard to God/Creator for easier days, I'd ask him to just show me something just once so I'd know he's there and I'd feel safe in this world. But nothing ever came, nothing ever happened. But now that I'm older and looking back I can see places and times where Creator has intervened and pushed me in the right direction, whispered me the answer, and sent someone into my life when I needed them. He works in silence, and if you pay attention to the smiles of everyone you encounter throughout your day you can see he is very busy. Not everyone will understand the ceremonies of my people or how we give thanks and that's fine, but here's a view into the world of rehabilitation and wellness. This is the strength of my people and what we can over come when we love and support one another. It's a hard path to walk because it's easy to be bad and so hard to be good in the world we live in today. A long time ago my people were hurt and it echoed through generations, some of us still feel broken and battered but yet we persevere through life searching for belonging and equality, nothing more, nothing less. We enter our sweat lodges in search of healing, peace and clarity and to give thanks, sometimes we come angry, sad, or confused but we never leave that way, never. Our ancestors and Creator won't let us. In fact we leave with a sense of peace, purpose and love for ourselves and everyone around us. My soul and prayers go to creator in hopes that he may push me in all the right directions for the rest of my life. If I never stepped onto the red road when I did I honestly don't think I'd be alive today. Thank you again for the second chance.

Up late watching National Geographic the other nigt and I witnessed a penguin come home after a long day of gathering food for his mate and he catches her with another penguin awe his little heart was probably broken. The narrator called the other male a "home wrecker" and they fought almost to death and she picked the "home wrecker" so they fought again and I now have a new respect for penguins.

If you want to get over a problem, stop mulling it over and talking about it. Your mind affects your mouth, and your mouth affects your mind. It’s nearly impossible to move beyond something when you’re obsessing over it.

Your attempts at making up lies in a attempt I suppose to break up a long term friendship I have with someone here in your post that you soon after deleted, Failed. Lets just go for a moment that even if it was true that the person said that, it shows how well you can be trusted to keep private what someone tells you. And is that the worse you can do? You wanted to just create drama between her and myself but again it failed.
The person you spoke of in that journal rant claiming she said things about me (which even if she had its no big deal) is my friend and will always be my friend.
You came to me to ask me to lie for you, to say you had given me your profile. I told you I did not want to be put into the middle of this. Matter a fact you told people you had already gave it to me with out checking with me. I log on and you inform me you had told people this. Then 10 minutes later someone contacts me saying "He told me he gave you his profile. He wants it back. You can give me the password." Oh really?! My response to the person was it is a private matter between him and myself. Why you would want me to lie to someone whom you claim to love and people you claim to be friends here with just boggles my mind. I am not going to give you a speech about being honest. I know it would be a waist of my time.
In the future leave me out of your drama and your lies. *points down to the post about the boy who cried wolf*

There's a quiet war going on, it's among many Aboriginals and the government. I don't like it, neither sides of it. Missing and murdered women should be addresses no matter what ethnicity, not because she's native, and not because she's not white. You can't solve violence with more violence, what are we going to do, protest forever? And the governement disregard and ignore forever? When will it stop? You see a solution cannot be met. A lot of people don't realize words can be violent, and it's gotten so bad that people are starting to make it a race thing. When my people say "Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women" we are separating ourselves from the rest of humanity, and that itself is a violent act because it's not just our women out there, it's not just our families losing friends, sisters, cousins, aunties, nieces and daughters. Many families and women from different cultures are losing equally so why can't we fight it equally? We need to make it about women in general. It's a sad fact that we even have to attempt to use the "race card" to get attention from our government for missing and murdered women in our city, province, or country even.

This reminds me of someone here.
_____________________________________
There once was a boy who kept sheep not far from the village. He would often become bored and to amuse himself he would call out,
"Wolf! Wolf," although there was no wolf about.
The villagers would stop what they were doing and run to save the sheep from the wolf's jaw. Once they arrived at the pasture, the boy just laughed. The naughty boy played this joke over and over until the villagers tired of him.
One day while the boy was watching the sheep, a wolf did come into the fold. The boy cried and cried,
"Wolf! Wolf!"
No one came. The wolf had a feast of sheep that day.

No one will believe a habitual liar even when he is telling the truth.
We have 10 Commandments that we live by as a Nation passed down to us by our Grandfathers and there grandfathers and so on and so on. Someone who claims to be deep into there native heritage yet they constantly break 9 and 10 well, I point to the story of the Boy who cried Wolf:
Native American Ten Commandments
1. Treat the Earth and all that dwell therein with respect
2. Remain close to the Great Spirit
3. Show great respect for your fellow beings
4. Work together for the benefit of all Mankind
5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed
6. Do what you know to be right
7. Look after the well-being of Mind and Body
8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater Good
9. Be truthful and honest at all times
10. Take full responsibility for your actions

Dear fellow Natives, You know who you are that have message me to tell me your "Indian name". The name given to you by Creator is your Spirit name, it is not called an "Indian name" for the millionth time lol there is no such thing, learn these things because they are very important. Get into your culture/heritage who ever you are. Doesn't hurt to know who you are down to the roots.

This was written by a native friend of mine and I thought I would share it here. I asked him to write a poem, something that I could read each morning to start my day and this is what he sent me:
I am grateful for life
And all that I love
I am grateful for the Earth
And the Sun up above
I am grateful for my spirit
And my inner being
For the One that I express
And the joy of this feeling.
