I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..

Soul knows it’s truth and it’s worth

Love isn’t all about physical attraction or romance. it’s all about finding your soul in another person’s body… it’s not physical desire you’re feeling inside,.. it’s a craving for tender human touch, genuine affection, mutual intimacy, belonging, and a meaningful, deep, unbreakable connection. Your heart wants more than fleeting passion, it craves mental stimulation, non-sexual warmth and hug, honest, deep and open conversation, and unfiltered vulnerability. You’re truly seeking a profound bond where masculine and feminine energies harmonize effortlessly. It’s not just about sharing a bed with someone, it’s about someone who touches the depths of your soul, ignites your inner fire, and sees you for who you really are. The soul knows its truth and its worth, and it will never settle for anything less than the richness, depth, and fullness it deserves. (My Love for you is not merely physical attraction or infatuation, in fact, I loved you in times past before I even saw you. I think I know you from an unknown time. My soul was yearning for yours for so long and when we met, we fell in love and we both belonged to each other. 🤍❤️‍🔥🖤

Significance of Feathers

The Meaning of Feathers plays a vital role in the belief system of Native people and the ancient ways our ancestors related to the animate and inanimate world.

Feathers are sentient portals of wisdom.

Animism and Shamanism embody the spiritual idea that all natural things within the universe, including birds and their feathers, have a spirit and vibration and are bridges into specific prayers and connections.

The generalized meaning of feathers signified honor & connected the chosen owner with the Creator and the bird the feathers came from. In many traditions, spiritual healers and individuals were awarded feathers by the Creator and the community when they did specific deeds as a reward or when a particular feather was needed to pursue their spiritual quest and work.

I learned from my Elders and teachers that we don’t take a feather that we find on a random walk or from dead animals unless the feather fell from the sky where it carried the vibration of life or appeared following a specifically crafted “feather prayer ceremony” or intention placed in the fire with tobacco.

We do not take; we receive. And to receive, we have to give something first. This is core to our sacred relationship understanding and our way of life.

Feathers are gifts from the birds, the sky, the land, and the Creator.

Feathers can arrive unexpectedly, but only with purpose and a connection to our path and prayers.

Birds were revered as bringers of messages and symbols of change and often symbolized light-hearted freedom, and their feathers have many spiritual, ceremonial & ritual uses. Decorated feathers were sometimes attached to sacred pipes or prayer sticks. In many ancient cultures, the meaning of feathers is inextricably tied to the belief that as spirit guides, birds walk through different stages of life with a person, teaching and guiding them and sometimes protecting them.

The meaning of birds and their feathers are of great significance as they possess supernatural powers that can embody, attach, and influence a person, empowering them with the bird’s powerful traits, attributes, and characteristics.

The following list describes the meanings of some feathers, providing information on the significance of each bird, together with its meaning, attributes, characteristics, and symbolism. Those are not to be taken literally, as the meaning of certain feathers might be different for you or others. The best way to understand their meaning is to ask the feather (in a shamanic journey, prayer, ceremony, vision quest, etc) or to witness how this feather answers your gifts and prayers.

Fairy Tales – Einstein

Albert Einstein said, “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” Fairy tales stimulate their imaginations and encourage critical thinking, not to mention presenting them with moral dilemmas, allowing kids to think about right and wrong, thereby learning valuable life lessons!

Wolves & Women

“Wolves and women have much in common. Both share a wild spirit. Women and wolves are instinctual creatures, able to sense the unseen. They are loyal, protective of their packs and their pups. They are wild and beautiful. Both have been hunted and captured. Even in captivity, one can see in the eyes of a woman, or a wolf, the longing to run free, and the determination that should the opportunity arise, whoosh, they will be gone.”

Behavior

Behavior is the purest reflection of the soul, an unfiltered revelation of character. Long before words are spoken, justifications are offered, facades are carefully arranged, and there is action—raw, instinctive, and telling. I do not simply hear what is said; I listen to the silences in between, the inflections that betray intent, and the shifts in energy that accompany every interaction. Tone, body language, and the weight behind one’s words are not trivial details; they are the threads that weave the fabric of authenticity.

Respect is not a performance, nor is it situational. It is a principle, a fundamental measure of a person’s depth. Status, intellect, or achievements cannot compensate for a lack of grace. No matter how valuable someone believes themselves to be, if their manner lacks sincerity, their presence is of little consequence to me. Relationships built on imbalance—where courtesy is conditional, where dignity is disregarded—are doomed to dissonance. I do not entertain them.

There is a profound peace in the company of those who humbly move through life. They do not impose themselves with arrogance or demand reverence through force. Instead, they offer their presence as a quiet strength, understanding that true influence is not wielded through intimidation but through integrity. Their words do not cut—they connect. Their actions do not take—they give. They understand that kindness is not weakness, that patience is not passivity, and that self-awareness is the mark of an evolved mind.

By contrast, those who are careless with their words, erratic in their actions, or blind to the weight of their behavior find no place in my world. There is an undeniable discomfort in the presence of those whose energy is chaotic, whose tongues are sharp with condescension, and whose actions betray a disregard for others. Whether subtle or overt, disrespect is a symptom of a fractured character, and I have neither the inclination nor the obligation to engage with those who cannot offer the bare minimum of decency.

The way people treat others is an unguarded confession of their spirit. It is a mirror reflecting their values, their wounds, and their understanding of the world. I do not need words to know who someone is; their behavior tells me everything. And so, I do not argue, I do not plead, and I do not linger where I am not met with grace. My space, energy, and presence are reserved for those who understand their own weight.

Let us ….Rumi

Let us fall in love again

and scatter gold dust all over the world.

Let us become a new spring

and feel the breeze drift in the heavens’ scent.

Let us dress the earth in green,

and like the sap of a young tree

let the grace from within sustain us.

Let us carve gems out of our stony hearts

and let them light our path to Love.

The glance of Love is crystal clear

and we are blessed by its light.
