My Dear James and Kim.. I have shared with you myself and my traditions that have been passed on from my Elders.. This girl is Grateful that your Heart was open to the Blessing of the Creator and the very light he has bestowed upon us all.. We will always walk as one.. I leave you with this Lakota Blessing as it says much for all.. I'm grateful to you both for the journey you allowed me in on and the pleasures of feeling the fruition's of your journey and family thus far.. with much love and respect.

Lakota Instructions for Living

Friend do it this way - that is,
whatever you do in life,
do the very best you can
with both your heart and mind.

And if you do it that way,
the Power Of The Universe
will come to your assistance,
if your heart and mind are in Unity.

When one sits in the Hoop Of The People,
one must be responsible because
All of Creation is related.
And the hurt of one is the hurt of all.
And the honor of one is the honor of all.
And whatever we do effects everything in the universe.

If you do it that way - that is,
if you truly join your heart and mind
as One - whatever you ask for,
that's the Way It's Going To Be.

with love and respect.. letakos/lesa
