Yes, it's been more than a little while.

A lot has happened while I've been gone. I have a son who is now 26 months and 8 days old. He takes up a lot of my time, and most of that time is filled with laughter, all of it is filled with love.

I'm honoured to belong to the Winnipeg Aboriginal Writer's Collective. Now I am surrounded by a great group of people who share several things in common; we are aboriginal, and we love to write.

As well I'm fortunate enough to find a little time to craft again. I love crafting; necklaces, bracelets, dream catchers. Someday soon I'll post some pictures here.

In the meantime, I've always found a few minutes each day to read. One of the best books I've read recently is "The Inconvenient Indian" by Thomas King. Prophetically, he has written the unwritten history which gives meaning and explanation to the movement "Idle No More" for the uninitiated. If you are interested in learning more about our shared history, read this book.

As the famous saying goes, "I will be back". Back with more histories, biographies, and any ideas and news items that need to be shared. With updates to my own urban Indian life, raising my son as a single mom. Why? Because we are all related.

Miigwich for reading.
