As Karma would have it, I am blessed with a mini version of myself, the phrase, “like mother, like daughter” has skipped a generation and landed in my lap. A precocious Kit~ling, my namesake. If I were to tell you I was a piddler, at one time, would you hold that against me? Well she is that and so much more. There is a phrase in my culture it’s referred to as” Indian time.” What I can tell you is she has made new meaning to the word. Now this is Karma. To know this, is to accept and understand, one day as my Grand~kit holds her namesake, she will be waiting and well that makes me giggle. Now, to see if she has decided, she is ready to embark on our mission. I hear you Boy George.  

Five decades, and  a few days later, I find myself, at a pause, of “who am I? I am many dimensions of spirit. I am woman. I am more, I am less. I just am. The saying,” it is like peeling a onion”, simply doesn’t resonate with me. Onions are pungent and make you cry. They’re also  sweet and savory and when warmed up, they’re an experience. Well, hello, I maybe onion. My point being is. In defining myself their really is no standard set of answers. So my challenge, in this moment is who do I want to be? First and foremost, I am a child of the Creator. A warrior and a wimp. A girl on fire. I am a Elder, a lover of life and a grandmother, mother, wife, sister. The about face, the 180 has evolved into a 360. Exactly where I want to be. Ready, set, go. Ladies and Gentlemen start your engines.

Each moment has led me to this clarity, I have found myself in my writing, my hope is we find each other in each moment hereafter. The remedy is love. I have this new found excitement in this path I have been led to. It has been a challenge finding my passion and it always leads me to this form of expression. Putting the pen to paper, the digits to keyboard. My mother use to tell me, “You have the gift of turning anything around, regardless of whatever is thrown at you.” I believed her when she spoke those words to me. Funny, how, my own denial in myself kept me from my true essence. So today, I make a proclamation. I will move forward regardless the challenge, regardless the defect, how strong the opponent. I will completely surrender to my vision. This vision of hope.
