New Year Blessing for 2013New Year Blessing for 2013New Year Blessing for 2013New Year Blessing for 2013

Oh Great Spirit I raise smoke to the four sacred winds and the four corners, so that the blessingscan reach my brothers and sisters all in every corner of Great Mother Earth while the smokedisperses all over Father Sky and lit by Grandmother Moon.

Let the smoke pass to each their blessing and do away with all sorrows and unhappiness, fill theirhomes with love, and the light of your wisdom. If any be sick, cure them; if sad, make them happy;if they have needs, fulfill them.

Protect them from all evil. Please Father keep them well in good health, give them long life andwealth. Give them all your love as they love you.

They can give testimony to your power and mercy, and most important your love. Oh Great Fatherin heaven I love you with all my heart as I love my brothers and sisters all. I am your servant andtheirs. I ask for only one thing give me strength to keep going on doing as I do on the Red Road.Amen, Amen, Amen.

WINTERWINTERWINTERWINTER ---- BRRRRRBRRRRRBRRRRRBRRRRR by BearHearby BearHearby BearHearby BearHear ttttJanuary and February are the coldest months of the year and we are inside for most of these days.This season is both loved and hated by many - I am a lover of the season. I love looking at thebarren trees that glisten in the snow or drip with rain. I love the grey skies that hide the sun fromour view. I love the short days that end with a burst of color at sunset. I love the many birdsseeking the seeds stuffed inside my bird feeder. I love the opportunity to sit by a warm fire andread, or write. I love hot cocoa or warm soup on a very cold day. There is much to be thankful foron these cold winter days but if you truly dislike winter, in about 10 weeks on March 20 we willwelcome the first day of spring!

A Positive Thought In The Midst Of Some Sad EventsA Positive Thought In The Midst Of Some Sad EventsA Positive Thought In The Midst Of Some Sad EventsA Positive Thought In The Midst Of Some Sad Events by BearHeartby BearHeartby BearHeartby BearHeart

In reference to all the terrible events that occurred in 2012 in which so many lives were needlesslylost, such as hurricane Sandy, the shootings in the Colorado theater and the Sandy HookElementary shootings, Maya Angelou stated..."I think we must surrender the despair ofunexpected cruelty and extend the wonder of unexpected kindnesses to ourselves and to eachother. 2013 can bring us the chance to be kind to each other and kind to ourselves. We deserveeach other and each other's generosity."

It got me to thinking ... wouldn't it be wonderful if everyday eachof us tried to create a random act of kindness toward each otheror a stranger? Perhaps something simple like bringing cookies

to our co-workers, maybe putting a quarter in a car meter that isabout to expire, a few flowers brought to a friend or someonewho isnt feeling well. Imagine the smiles each of these actswould bring.

Simple acts bring about volumes of smiles along with great positive energy. Positive will alwaysout weigh the negative. The more we engage in positive feelings and experiences the better it isfor everyone because the positive will grow!

Maybe every day is a little too much to start out with, we can try to offer an act of kindness once aweek - that's it just once a week! You will feel good and that good feeling will continue to expand.

Give it a try then write to me and I will print your story ofkindness in the newsletter. Let's see what we can do in 2013to create love and happiness.Send your story to : tribalwhispers@gmail.com

During the winter we close our outdoor hoop due to weather. The rain, wind and cold are notgood for our health nor are they conducive for prayers.

Tribal Whispers looks forward to opening the Full Moon season every year. It means that every

month starting in March or April through November we will be able to do outdoor ceremony withfriends who want to experience this beautiful way to pray under the stars. Afterward we visit andenjoy some tea and cookies to ground ourselves.

During the New Moon we dont offer our outdoor ceremony but encourage everyone to do someprivate ceremony for yourself or invite a good friend or two to share in an indoor ceremony ofprayer and meditation. One person is the facilitator one month and someone else leads thefollowing month.

Give your ceremony a theme and makeat least 4 rounds in which everyone has

an opportunity to share. This creates abeautiful, strong bonding for friends aswell as connecting you to the web ofprayers that circle our Mother Earth onthis night.
