About

I have 6,720 days of functional life left ... if I am lucky  I'm sixty two and it's now or never.

All of my life has been spent being that person I was expected to be: the daughter the wife, the mother, the wage earning member of society.

Until now.

I am dedicating the rest of my life to myself; my unfiltered, naked, vulnerable, authentic self.

I've always dreamt of the true woman that lays below the surface of my socially acceptable existence.  

She exists below the surface of my self.

I am a tomboy.  She is feminine.

I am scattered. She is disciplined.

I am an open book.  She is mysterious.

I am inconsistent.  She is steadfast.

I am sexy.  She is sensuous.

I am of TV and Internet.  She is of Nature.

I am unsure.  She is an instrument of healing.

I am Little.  We have that in common.  

She is Little Raven Healer.

This is the story of her birth.  It has a forty week gestation and a miraculous ending.

Those of you who wish to allow your authentic self to shine through, this story is your story.

Let's make it happen.

Who is Little Raven Healer?

She is weird... in a good way.  She does not have a dark side. She stays in the moment she is in; she lives there.  Her plans have ~ space ~ between them and each plan has a beginning, a middle and and ending.  She follows through. Her word is true, her promises kept along with any confidences shared wth her.  She advises only when asked.  She never meddles. Her mornings begin early and include the Rituals of Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading and Scribing. Her cold winter afternoons and evenings are spent creating crocheted, knitted gifts, learning Spanish or Piano, reading and writing. When the sun shines she partakes in meandering strolls along the river, gardening, walking barefoot, sitting in her secret garden, feeding the birds, playing with her grandchildren. She honours her Indigenous heritage by drumming, smudging, listening to native music and attending PowWows, Woman's Circles and Sweat Lodges. She wears loose flowin...

I Am Good

One thing have to keep reminding myself is that my favourite pastime is to hurl abuse at myself.  I look for every opportunity to do so and this Quest to find Little Raven Healer can't fall victim to this practice of mine. My sister scolded me today telling me harshly that my New Years Resolution should be to leave myself the Hell ALONE!!  She reacted to a comment I made about having to lose two pounds.  She is struggling with her weight so I know I struck a chord with her.  (Note to self: was this intentional?  Sad if it was but I do know it was subconscious if it was). It was reminder to stay true to the theme of this week.  I am Good.  I am a whole person with strengths and weaknesses.  I am inconsistent but I'm not giving up.  I overindulge and I eat well. I sometimes do both at the same time. I have some brilliant ideas.  I act on few.  I am hoping that, as Little Raven Healer emerges, so will my creative spirit and willi...

Finding Me

She was tired; so very bone weary.  The tiny, white haired, mother of three, grandmother of seven and dedicated wife to a man struggling with his health was tired of fighting the urgent call to finally birth her true, authentic self in all her messy glory.  She had lived her entire life being of service to her family and pushing aside her feelings of frustration and incompleteness. Her time was ripe.  She was 62.  Her life had been an adventure so far. Her personality was such that things happened around her.  Her life was so full that she disappointed people on a regular basis by overcommitting constantly.  She was a good enough person to recognize this as a fault as opposed to a plus in her life.  Being so busy that you double book and cancel constantly is a selfish way to live. she had decided many times to change her lifestyle but she was plagued by bad habits that she constantly revisited just to sabotage herself. Drinking messed with her mo...
