“Chocolate, vanilla, choose. I choose to be in the present and embrace my journey today. I am intentionally planning my journey to visit my ancestors lands and feel myself in Indian country. I have made arrangements to rent a car and embark on an journey to locate my grandparents and great grandparents homes or the locations they used to be. I also want to attempt to find the cemeteries where they may be buried to soak up the hollowed ground. For me, this is a pilgrimage of my self. Turning in and returning to my sacredness within. I am excited to feel the flow and vibration of this journey and how it unfolds and adds to my life journey.” (Heather Houston 2-24-26)

Driving to work westbound, I spotted a beautiful bald eagle perched on the railway wind gauge pole facing the south at the midspan point of the bridge. It was facing away from me and the wind was ruffling his head feathers. I feel so blessed and in the “FLOW”.🦅
