My Favorite Catalogs

Before I post, I have been a fan of catalogs my entire life. I have friends who have created their dream life inside pages of magazines. My friend Bri even created a lifestyle within the pages of so many catalogs with his photographic memory. I cannot even begin to tell you the many other uses of catalogs. Growing up with not a lot of money, and as an adult it is still really satisfying to order something and have it arrive 3-7 days later with the EXACT item in the picture.
  • Title 9-What is not to love about a healthy vibrant, feminine magazine like this! Fun in the sun, and amazing bios on women living their dream life with hardcore underwear and a ton of skorts to choose from.
  • Patagonia-The seasonal magazines come with stories on the contributors and the people they sponsor in a variety of events. The clothes are listed female to male and pricing is reasonable if you want to INVEST in clothing as opposed to shopping prior to the start of every season.
  • Pottery Barn-Everything and anything you could possibly imagine for hip family gatherings can be found here. The Children Pottery Barn is great for spring purchases for fall outfits. I love the backpacks and the personalization. My school aged children love having backpacks and water bottles with their names on them.
  • Schwan-Where else can you find frozen shelled peas and fully cooked, frozen, and uniform cut sweet potatoes! I love the ice cream flavors and just LOOKING at the cookie dough, breads, and meat. If I could buy meat for a week out of this magazine as opposed to cooking and freezing my own I would totally buy into the Schwan scheme of things.

Here we go, yo!

  Hey there! So I've been sleeping and eating and reading and somewhat writing ideas and hopes and dreams hoping to restart some creative processing for the next round of learning and dreaming. My children and I have eaten some amazing meals and prepared some traditional plants and ingredients that I would have never had the time or opportunity to know if we had not had to feed our spirits while in quarantine. We learned about the strength of our family and the effort it takes to become an intelligent person, as the world continues to move in a more productive path after quarantine, we have made changes to support our spiritual growth and make our path within ceremony to re-focus of our lives for the time being.  We have watched the sun set in Ute country and were amazed at the ingenuity and historical knowledge needed to thrive in their high arid environment. So much love and so many beautiful prayerful people have made such a good impression on my children, I will be grateful for

23 Day Challenge, Minute 2

 My second post for the #23MinuteChallenge, I think I would be the most grateful today for having some purpose in my life beyond being a mother. I have a pretty interesting job and I have been lucky enough to spend this most recent season of my life learning and gathering feedback for a community that means the most to me. I have been able to mature in my approach to issues and to learn to be more diplomatic in how I respond to issues. So with this post, my top ten things related to, or within my learning curve of higher education are as follows: Every Student Succeeds Act , 2015 Title IX Title VII Johnson O'Malley American Indian Higher Education Consortium Tribal Colleges & Universities P.L. 280  Tribal Law and Order Codes Fort Laramie Treaty, 1868 My mother, for supporting every strong willed goal and aspiration I wanted to reach but had to build the scaffold for. Unwavering love.

My 2020 Aspiration: Garth Brooks and Kelly Clarkson

One of the best days of my life in being able to support someone who has the capacity to help so many others. I had some amazing life lines I utilized and had the opportunity to support women showing up for other women in a way that we never have the time or opportunity to do as much as I would like to see...but for one day some beautiful and important relationships were made to help see someone through a transitional time in life that I still struggle with.  I am so grateful for the ability to find support and direction in what it is that I'm doing and what it is that I can do better not only for myself but for my family.
