Grace Growing Medicine E. Reed posted a blog postNegotiating Shadows
My life's work is supporting people with addiction problems. People with addiction problems are negotiating their many shadows. The shadows fool them into thinking they can 'beat' their feelings by drinking/drugging and at some point they will go away. Usually the person with the drinking problem goes away. Alcoholism has a name in the AA literature---'Cunning, Baffling, Powerful' and it has a job---to kill the untreated alcoholic. Same goes for a drug addict. Before it kills it will screw with…See More

'When agreements are made and kept, trust grows'. I came across a chart that points that out. (Ron Classen) Love, Forgiveness, Mutual Recognition and the Commitment to be Constructive are on the chart. Caring, Valuing are there too. Injustices can be recognized, equality is restored, and future intentions are clear when some kind of forgiveness based on these value are implemented.This is one peacemaking model that looks good on a piece of paper but soooo hard to apply when many around the…See More

Medicine Woman Poem
Dear Ones--I wrote a poem a year ago after working with addicted, at-risk youth in juvenile jail system and with homeless street youth. My heart breaks for these children and their parents. So much suffering. The people that could help them work with their hands tied. The people with money and power can't see or don't want to see what is possible and what really needs to be done. The poem ask that we sit on circles of stones or---and reflect on our present situation. I wanted to say to the…

Maybe in helping our young ones we need to help heal the ones they look to..us. Phil's Fourth Way and 16 Principles would make a lot of sense to those young ones you work with. Deloria Many Grey Horses, Phil's daughter, has a Digital Youth Group here on Four Worlds...check it out...my sons , 2 Hats and Starwalker, ..belong to it...it is still being build at foundation level but we can encourage our youth to connect there, in a safe place, a positive environmen...if you click on councils above you will see the DYC-Digital Youth Group. You are more than welcome to join and become part of the guiding force there as well. I am so very fortunate that my sons are awesome young men that never fell to the dark path, even with all they have been through (domestic violence, losing their baby sister to cancer and their stepfather to the dark path after we lost Mimi). We walk together with the strength of our ancestors, those who came before us, those who walk with us in this world, and those yet to come...we are all connected...spiritually. Tell your youth Creator lays their path before them but atleast they get to choose the scenery. Listen to their hearts not the broken ones who pass on their pain. hope and love, Firewoman

My prayers and encouragement to you dear one. It takes a brave woman to reach out, even with obstacles in the way, and genuinely help young ones. May Creator show you your destined path. Atleast you get to choose the scenery yes? Positive, love, light, forward....hope and love, Firewoman
