Before and After......

This is what my keychain looked like last week..........

and this is what it looks like.......

today.........












I decided to take two extra days to recover from my packing and moving and saying goodbye frenzie.........that left me totally exhausted............

Thank you to my Son and his Wife who offered their home as Sanctuary........surrounded by Fireflies...

I'm leaving today for parts West.........

I have decided to take the more direct southern route from Michigan to New Mexico.......to avoid the spreading wildfires...........

I received this email a few times during the week and it seems right to share it again......please help in prayer for protection and rain.........for these fires, now in New Mexico, are fierce and no rain seems to be coming, although it is due......

Wallow Fire - Special Request from our Native Brothers and Sisters in the SW Please forward this email to everyone. Hello everybody - as you can see on the news the Wallow fire in Northern Arizona is still uncontrollable and spreading. The fire has destroyed everything in its path, over 1/2 million acres so far, the largest fire in Arizona history. Please join us in a tribal prayer to help the firefighters and all involved. Pray so the winds stop and the rains start (without lightning please) We want to pray for the safety of all. Ask for heavenly walls to protect our land and animals from fire. All the choppers, manpower, planes, and bulldozers are not enough, they need our help. We are one Nation as Natives and our traditional prayers to the Creator as Natives can be pretty powerful; not only are our tribal lands at stake (White Mountain & San CarlosApaches, possibly Zuni, and some Navajo areas), but our non-native friends also need our help. Please let us all connect our minds, hearts and our prayers across the miles and pray. Wherever you are and whatever you have plan please stop for a few minutes and raise your hands to the Creator to ask for help. If all of you can forward this message across the Nations, we can reach many thru phone and internet. Please start forwarding ASAP to reach as many as we can. Please if your spiritual preference is not traditional - pray with us in however way you talk to the Creator. Thank you, Dorothea Stevens, San Carlos Apache Nation
