Windy & 2 Sides to a Coin

(I dont have a picture of "Windy" but he looked just like this bird)
my daughter had a bird, I clipped its wings so that he wouldnt fly away, I liked to take him places with me on my shoulder. One day, he flew into the sky, up high with all the other birds, I was so excited to see he could fly but than I realized a storm was coming, and he wasnt coming back. My daughters and I kneeled down & said a prayer, we got in the car to go look for him. I looked hard for th
e yellow. Something told me to stop when I was driving the old hwy abt a 1/4 mile from our home. I jumped out of the car, ran across the hwy to the barbed wire fence, I thought I saw him in the tree. I looked back to my kids, they had their lil heads out the window in anticipation. I put my head down and started to cry, our bird wasnt in that tree. I slowly opened my eyes and through the tears, in front of the post I was leaning on, down in the 3 ft weeds sat Windy, my daughters bird. (true story)














I was walking through KMart with my daughter when she was little, a man approached me. All of a sudden it was like I was dreaming. The KMart became illuminated and all I remember was this messenger, he warned me. I remember something about him saying 2 sides of a coin? I took it as a fine line between good & evil. I might have written it somewhere in a journal...once upon a time (true story)

3 Nephi 18:18



My daughter came to visit me today, she cooked me the yummiest split pea soup, hard boiled eggs & tea to help my kidney. We took her dogs Chunky & Ryder for a nice walk to the park & along the way she wanted to stop and have her picture taken at the church (my favorite church because thats when I got to go through the Temple.) We found a weathered paper with a scripture on it out of the Book of Mormon...

3 Nephi 18:18

18 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, ye must watch and pray always lest ye enter into temptation; for Satan desireth to have you, that he may sift you as wheat.

Call me crazy! Memories of Native, Larison, Doggers & Sky

when Native came to stay with me, the year the mtn was on fire, I seen the medicine man late at night by the bus stop. I miss my daughters turtles...

Native was Navajo & spoke the most beautiful language, it use to make me giggle. I wish I could remember what he taught me, I miss him. He was only 16, I found him sitting under a tree on the 4th of July w/no place to sleep so I took him home. I wanted to take care of him like a son so I ran him over to the Boy Scouts, LOL. He was already grown, he probably thought I was crazy. We use to sleep on the roof every night in the summer. One day my sister came to town & we decided to go swimming, the pool was packed full w/Navajos, me n my sister & her daughters were the only whities there. Native made the best fry bread! He drew a mural on my wall but I added a tear drop to his eye & Native got upset & wouldnt finish his work. Later, I woke up & never seen him again. I know he was on a mission to go find his uncle who had been locked up in Prison. He gave me a gorgeous turquoise bracelet, maybe it had a watch on it? I cant remember. I gave it to my mom to hold so if he came back we could give it back to him. My mom passed away and I never seen that turquoise ever again. During this time that Native stayed with me, Larison came & stayed with me to. Native would get upset w/him and say, "youre not an indian"... Larison drank alot and would stand on my roof in the rain and cry out for his grandfather, he would sit under the tree & say, "Phoenix Arizona, gonna creep up own ya" it would make me laugh. I remember my cousin sitting in the kitchen trading, my cousin made the most beautiful knives and he would say to Native & Larison, "you can have them as long as you dont hurt yourself or anyone else" they agreed. A lil time after, my cousin was married to an angel (she survived a terrible fire that burned most of her body).

I guess looking at the indian encyclopedia made me think of Native (Bradley Begay) & Larison Sosi, the pool party & the medicine man.

I'm thankful for good friends I have met, no matter how long they were in my life.

Doggers that talkers like thisers, I camped in the thorn bushes with behind the Cathedral of the Madelaine in SLC for several weeks before I got hospitalized for being crazy. I will never forget Sky, the eagle dancer who carried me across the railroad tracks with a broken foot. He was covered with lots of scars when I seen his face that morning after a long night sleeping on a cardboard box surrounded by glass & a horse head painted on the wall of the bldg we slept next to...I would have to say SL was the roughest streets I've ever been on!

Mormon Message Videos

my last post kinda didnt make sense about my beliefs, thats what you get for writing at 3am I guess...
its 3am once again, cant sleep.
what to talk about...I use to be pretty good w/blogs, had one for a few years, wonder why I get sick and delete everything in my life? feeling down again, need to write what makes me happy or what I'm thankful for. I'll be right back, gotta google to find something to talk about........

I found Mormon Message Videos on the LDS.org website  
http://www.lds.org/pages/mormon-messages?lang=eng

I feel so much better, The Light of Christ video totally makes sense to me now that I have been having such rough nights. I need to put something positive into my life daily (prayer, scripture, something to let the light back into my life & keep it there). Its 4:30am, my daughters picking me up early to take me to the hospital for my CT scan, I think I opened up my hernia again. I got scared in the night because I keep thinking I have cancer like my mom did. She described her pains and I have the same symptoms and it scares me. I havent smoked in 2 or 3 days now. I want to quit forever!

Monday, November 12, 2012- 3am
Couldnt sleep tonight, I went to church today for the 1st time in a long time. The 1st class I went to was on finances & budgeting, I took 1 look at numbers & got a headache right away so I hurried on to the next class, the Book of Mormon. My friend was teaching this class but I dont remember much what she said except she was crying. I felt her love for the Gospel and it made me think...wish I wouldnt have made bad choices lately. I've been having bad dreams and thought, post something that makes u happy...I think tagging along beside my siblings was a blast! they made me laugh alot. I know I drove my brother crazy, I followed him every where.
haha!

I got to ride the speed boat that pulled my sister & her boyfriend  parasailing. The drivers were so flirty,  LOL, always mi amore with everything they say, reminded me of someone special in my past. They made me feel special in Mexico. 

Chichen Itza Pyramid, a 7th Wonder of the World (now I can say I have seen 3 out of  7) This Pyramid is huge and with a whole lot of history, we had an excellent tour guide!
The view outside mine n my lil brothers room

1 of many meals we spent together as a family, I never ate so much great food in all my life! My favorite was breakfast.

part of the Mayan burial is to the left of this hole & the hole you see is where the the resurrection  occurs.

Birds are so funny! I had a cockatiel once, actually  it was my daughters bird, "Windy"
Birds are super smart, they immitate sounds they hear in their environment, LOL

He really did kiss me & it felt like Love at 1st sight ;) 

This dont make me happy cause I dont really like death but I posted this to remind me  of my beliefs. In the Mayan culture, they bury theirs in the fetal position because thats how they were born & came into this world.

My sisters wedding day, she looked gorgeous!

swimming on the dolphins belly, he was so cute with me
me n my lil brother, Jason @ my sisters wedding

Dolphins are so amazing, I def have a new love & respect for them  (never touch their face, eyes, the hole on top, etc). Dolphins kinda feel like hard plastic, very interesting texture. They swim super fast! We swam w/2 dolphins, wish I could remember their names :)
