Stir Crazy!

Well my contract is almost up, and once again the road is waiting! My son and I are getting ready to head out and up for more adventures.

This has been a long cold winter! There are many places I yearn to see, my little one and I are getting ready for what lays ahead.

I have had people interested in buying the old RV, I have been toying with the idea of selling her, she's a good one! I have been thinking of getting a truck and 5er, I want to put a wood stove in it... I know! I know! it's not possible! Well it was also not possible that a single mom can work and live full time on the road, right?

I believe that if I am meant to do this it will manifest. I also believe that I would not have such a strong compulsion to live life this way, if I was not meant to live life this way...

So in any case I am going back on the road after a long cold winter...

Tribute to Dr. David Ahenakew

I first remember meeting Mr. Ahenakew when I was a little wee girl known as Mrs Chicken. Mr. Ahenakew was my dad's (Sterling Brass) good friend, I mostly remember he and my dad joking and laughing, always teasing one another. I did not know that both Men were warriors of the Native People of Canada. I did not know that they would both change the world we live in. I did not know that they would both spark a new era for First Nations rights and freedoms. To me, little old Mrs. Chicken, Mr. Ahenakew was my dad's friend.

I am sad on this day to know that one of the Great Warriors of the First Nations People of Canada has been laid to rest. I am however compelled to say this, Mr. Ahenakew fought courageously for his people and the things he believed in, and for that I am thankful.

My deepest condolences to the whole Atakakoop First Nation and the Ahenakew Family, I will always and forever cherish those memories from my childhood and I will always be grateful for the many sacrifices that were made by your Okima.
Thank you.
