Bear Heart, humility, and praying for snow
In 1988, Colorado was experiencing a snow drought.
I know that seems hard to imagine after the winter we just went through, but that was the case back then.
The Copper Mountain Ski Resort was in danger of having to lay off staff and close, so the owner, a friend of Bear Heart’s, flew him to Colorado to pray for snow.
Before Bear Heart finished his ceremony, a heavy snow storm came in; one that the meteorologists had not predicted.

Fed up yet? Watch this…
FED UP is a new documentary the U.S. food industry doesn’t want you to see. But I think everyone simply must watch it.
If you follow my blog, you know my passion is human potential. Yet how can we reach our potential if our health is poor?
If you’re eating the Standard American Diet, your health is on the way to poor, if it isn’t already.
To Native Americans, the food provided by Mother Earth was sacred. Yet it’s becoming harder and harder to find food in the way Mother Earth intended.
So it’s of utmost importance that we educate ourselves. Knowledge is power.

What is your intention?
When I work with clients in my healing practice, I ask them to set an intention as to what they want to get out of the session.
They don’t even have to tell me what it is. But an important part of healing is to take an active role and let the universe know what you want.
Intention can be expressed as simply stating, “I am ____________.”
The “I am” is a statement of how you want to live your life, what you’re here for.
Steve Jobs was once quoted as saying, “Everyone has a cell phone, but no one likes their cell phone. I want to create a cell phone everyone loves.”
Where would we be if he came up with that thought and then said, “naa, no one can make that” and gave up?
Steve Jobs stated a goal, “I want to make a cell phone that everyone loves.”
But his intention was to improve our lives through technology. That was his reason for being.
What’s yours?

Are you thriving? Or merely surviving?
Are you thriving? Or merely surviving?
The first is not as hard to achieve as you might think.
LESSONS FROM A CACTUS GARDEN
In 1999 I bought my first house – in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California.
Earth lover that I am, I was excited about landscaping and, since the San Fernando Valley is a bit of a desert, that meant using native plants that would grow with the rainfall and sun usual for that area. Or so I thought.
My friends Bob and Laura were professional landscapers and offered to give me a landscaping consultation as a housewarming gift.
When I told them I wanted drought-tolerant plants and a cactus garden, the last thing I was expecting was the suggestion to put in a sprinkler system. But that’s exactly what they recommended.
