I was hoping to get this 2015 page on the website in January. I was pressuring
myself with no inspiration and finally I let go of the idea I had to do this. I don’t
want to clutter up this website by rambling on just for entertainment here. This
website is very important work for me and so it has to be full of heart, with quality
and be honorable. And it goes without saying…I must surrender and be angelically
guided to pen any of my pieces. I knew I had pictures I would put on this page
accompanied by inspirational thoughts to meditate on. But I also wanted to pen a
short story. In the beginning of January I had all the pictures lined up but had no
inspiration for a story. I knew I wasn’t interested in writing a fluff piece, so what
did I want to write about? I once heard it said that authors are the total sum of
their experiences. So what experience was needed for me to pen a new piece? All
I had to do was put this thought out into the universe, and I was off and running
with a new /old experience presented to me for the perfect 2015 story.

In the second week of January I was sitting in my car warming it up, when I
noticed a special trash truck coming down the street. As I watched the truck come
closer, I saw it was picking up Christmas trees that people had discarded. It broke
my heart to watch these trees being thrown out, after people had used them as
decorative entertainment for a few weeks. And then I felt some guilt set in,
because at thanksgiving I had a chance to voice my heart to a relative, who was
planning on cutting down a tree for Christmas and I bit my tongue. At that point I
realized I had used my voice in another way and done something very beautiful
here. On this website is the page for Mother Earth. On that page is my beautiful
poem entitled “Grandparent Tree’s Voice”. Out of all the pieces in my book “Soul
Prints” this is the piece I am most proud of and that’s why I included it on this
website. So please check it out if you haven’t read it, and if you have read it please
share it with friends and relatives. I have spoken with several of my relatives since
this incident and I intend to be fully aware in the future not to bite my tongue
again. After this happened, I began realizing the universe was opening up my
story of awareness and my purpose for writing the 2015 story.

In the past months, I kept noticing that the film “Jeremiah Johnson” was getting in
my face a lot. For the young readers here; it is a Robert Redford film. For the
older readers here I hope you are a Redford fan, it will make this story even more
enjoyable for you. I hesitate to use the word fan, because I have such respect for
Mr. Redford on how he has used his public platform for increased social
awareness. So this is where I will go back into my past experience to touch on
awareness and Mr. Redford’s way of touching my soul from afar.

When I was a teenager I truly was a fan of Robert Redford. After all I was human
and a girl with normal hormones. I, like many other young girls, thought he was
the most handsome man alive. One day in the early seventies, my mother asked
me if I wanted to go to the movies to see “Jeremiah Johnson”. There was no
hesitation on my part. Wow… what a great gift my mother was giving to me. I
was sitting through the film and enjoying Mr. Redford’s performance, but
something else was touching me on a deeper level. It was the mountains that the
movie was filmed in. I fell totally in love with the scenery. I remember saying to
the universe in my thoughts; I wish I could live there. I had no idea of where that
was and I never researched it. Life went on and I got married, I had two children
and my husband was in the Air Force’s educational program. In the late seventies
he got transferred to the University of Utah. We moved to Bountiful, Utah at the
base of the Wasatch Mountains. I was working in Salt Lake City and one night I
was waiting at the bus stop. There was an elderly lady standing next to me and a
local news team showed up. They decided to interview her and ask her if she
knew who Robert Redford was and what she thought of him. She had no idea who
he was. The news crew left without a story. I turned to her while laughing and
said, “He’s the most handsome man alive. I can’t believe you don’t know him.”
She replied with, “They should have interviewed you.” I never gave any thought to
the idea that it could possibly be the Universe and Angels nudging me to be aware
of the signs and put them together. I was in my early twenties feeling too stressed
and busy to be aware of signs and synchronicities. I wound up divorcing my
husband and leaving Utah a couple of years later. I moved back east to be with
family for my children. I always longed to move back west where my heart was,
but I let fear and excuses get in the way.

So this is the part of the story that takes us to present day. I no longer have a
school girl crush on Robert Redford, but I have a great deal of respect for him and
his work in social awareness. And when one of his movies shows up on my
journey, I do like to watch them here and there. I’ve enjoyed watching how his
career has evolved and always know it will be of quality. When I couldn’t seem to
escape the “Jeremiah Johnson” film, I finally gave in and wanted to know what
was in this film that was haunting me so. I got my answer due to following the
signs, sitting still and being totally aware while watching the film this time around.
To start with I had forgotten about the Native American storyline. Now that my
own Native American spirituality has grown, I really felt connected to the story.
When the movie had ended, the credits started and I was shocked to see it was
filmed in Utah, so close to where I had been living decades ago and so loved it
there. That’s when I realized I completely missed that my wished had been
granted. When I was a teenager I made a wish to live in the area the film was
made. Five years after I made that wish…it came true. There were signs along the
way to show me my wish was granted…and I wasn’t aware enough to notice
them. And now thirty-seven years later I was aware enough at the end of the film
to see the magic that had taken place in my life. It gives me hope that more of my
wishes will come true for me and now I won’t miss it. I’ll be watching the signs,
while staying aware of what my soul truly wants.

Does it make you wonder what you may have missed? I’m thrilled that I saw this
before my time is up here. I know that when my next wish is granted… I’ll enjoy it
this time around. Now as an elderly woman I am much more grateful. And in the
spirit of awareness, I’d also like to thank Mr. Redford for touching me in an
unexpected way and for caring so much for Mother Earth.

As always many blessings to you throughout 2015 and may you be aware of them.
