Good Morning Maskwa Medicine Community!!
Gosh it’s been awhile since I’ve posted and I just wanted to say thank you and I’m so incredibly grateful for your patience. Life has been hard in my homefire. So many challenges to my Wellness. However grief is the hardest challenge by far. I had no idea how close I was to loosing myself when I recently lost my best friend. I had no idea about unconditional love before he chose to walk beside me. He wasn’t even a year old the first time he stepped in between me and my abuser and saved my life, he did that more than once keeping me safe until I was able to save us both and get free. He had faith in me that I would eventually figure it out and make sure we were both ok. Now my job is to figure out this new normal and live the amazing teachings my boy gifted me. The knowledge that I am worthy of kindness and compassion. I deserve love and I am enough 🤎🖤. Yes my boy was a 9 year old Rottweiler but what I’ve come to understand about relationships is they are very personal and the body that contains the spirit of that love is just that a body and the spirit was the force of that body and Awemee did my boy have the spirit of a warrior .
I made a promise to my boy before I let him go that I would be ok, And this is how I do it. By remembering who I am and the things I am capable of. So today when I’m in my garage and go to my fridge I have a couple of choices when I open the door. I could reach in and grab that beer or I can choose a different way.
Instead I choose to grab the Bear fat I need to prepare for medicine and trade. I choose to heal myself and my homefire. I will not stay stuck in the big sad. I will work to remember the joy and remind myself that I am capable of amazing things and that life is about balance. There will be more hard times and there will be many more great times as long as I remember the teachings and continue to live in a good way I’ll keep that promise I made. I will be OK. Thank you Aero you will always be my best boy, I love you so much Nitotem🤎🐻
I am super pleased with how the grease turned out. So clean. This Maskwa also came with many teachings and I don’t normally associate patience teachings with Maskwa but wow did this one teach me to slowdown lol. 🐻🤎
