that's awesomeHi everyone! I'm back! I got back home late last night!! So glad to be back in the Ozarks!! I grit my teeth everytime I have to go home to Dallas Fort Worth area to see family. LoL. Dysfunctional family members and the traffic!! It's too crowded there!!
Guess what??? I got an invitation from a big powwow to set up booth and demonstrate basket weaving!!! (at this powwow it's by invitation only to set up a booth!) I'm sooooo blown away, yet nervous, too!!! It won't be til March the powwow, so that gives me time to make a lot of baskets!! I just hope I won't mess up!! I've never done this before. Believe it or not. I've set up at small gatherings--but nothing like this!! I keep thinking...."I don't think I'm good enough.." etc. Abba Creator is sooooo GOOD!!! I had to deal with dysfunctional family over the holiday, which can be sooo depressing, and then I come home and find this invitation in my e-mail!!!!
Now another thing....just almost a month ago, I had a dream. I dreamed of my grandmother(who has been dead for 10 yrs now.). I dreamed that I was talking with her on the phone...and out of the blue, she told me that the Echota Cherokee of Alabama have just opened up their rolls for new members and that I should apply and that they were a good tribe. I woke up and immediately got on the computer and looked up Echota Cherokee. I've only been to their website 2 times probably. The page came up and there it was!!! They had just opened up the rolls for new members and that more information will come about it. Now it's this:
http://www.echotacherokeetribe.homestead.com/
My ancestors were in Alabama before they round up being in Texas, so, I guess this would be a good choice!! I was in Alabama a few years ago at my first Native christian conference(and yes, Jonathan Maracle-Broken Walls was there, as well as Richard Twiss, Spyder and Tekawitha Webb, etc, etc!!!) I was on cloud 9 and I also got to be honored and gifted up on teh stage!! (and both chiefs of the Northeast Alabama Cherokee, and Echota Cherokee were up on stage) It was so special. I get soooo nervous going to gatherings, etc sometimes and was nervous, too, but it ended up where I was 'drunk' with joy and because I didn't want to wake my bunk mates up, I went outside in the rain and laughed and then sat down on a wet seat and got my rear wet!!
This is sooooo weird!!! and yet awesome!!! I had prayed that the Lord would show me which direction I should take in getting enrolled, etc!!!! Send your prayers up to the Creator for me!!! That I won't be soooo nervous(about the enrollment process--etc). I don't want to grind my teeth in my sleep again!!! (a few weeks ago, I had to go to the dentist because my tooth hurt...and found out it was from grinding my teeth--due to stress dealing with car and computer problems that was going on at same time!! LOL

I am in need of suggestions for a blessings exchange thread I would like to open. I want to share my abundance of blessings with others. As I once heard, you can start to change the world with just one random act of kindness at a time. Any ideas?
