SpiritSeeker's profile

  The meaningful things about my journey through this life can be summed up thus;

I've been married 2/3's of this lifetime, and am mother of five much loved children, grandmother of nine grandchildren plus two more I have claimed as  grandchildren.  Animals have always been a big part of my life, especially horses and manx cats and Australian Shepherd dogs. My latest animal is a female heeler-mix who was abused and abandoned near my home.  My spiritual quest has led me along many paths, most interesting being Native American spirituality and Huna.  I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon) close to 10 years ago. 

We live on a piece of the family ranch in Arizona.  Dirt roads, dust and mesquite trees are an everyday part of our lives.  Trips up the canyons to running creeks and sycamore trees and Indian ruins are some of the fun of living here.  We have a 900 year old Indian grave next to our medicine wheel that we are caretakers of.  I can't forget to mention the great BBQ's we have under the mesquites.  Just give us any old reason and we are out there cooking.

I have  finished the task of renovating a mobile home which we now live in.  I have done most of the renovation myself.  Didn't know I had it in me at my age but it got done.  I still have the outside to do, but inside is nice and cozy, and very western.

I am resuming doing my art.  I used to paint with oils, my subjects were mainly equine.  It seems so long ago though, as I had to step forward and help raise some grandchildren.  I am still involved in that important duty, but I kept dreaming....and now I am beginning again.

And who am I?  Some one who feels other's pain.  Some one who cares what happens in this world and to this world and all her inhabitants.  A person who is repelled by negativity and arguments. A person who loves happy endings, yet who understands that the trials and tribulations of this life are refining us and giving us the opportunity to gain strength and integrity and unconditional love.  Finally, I am becoming.  Always becoming. Becoming what I cannot say because I am not finished yet.
