Sleepless in Neah Bay :)

Last night I couldn't sleep. It was as if I was being bothered by something; I hate nights like that!

When I have nights; like last night. I was told to pray for my family, so I did.

Then I sat up in bed and started to read. I've been reading a book that I purchased off the internet, The Dovekeepers. It's a good read but really hard for me to keep reading. I get busy and don't pick it up again for a long time. It has some similarities to my story but the author’s characters are from the Middle East. I'm finding that the Middle East people have some same beliefs as Native American people.

The other books that I really enjoyed reading was THE MARK series.

Soul Harvest,

The Indwelling,

Apollyon,

Assassins,

Nicolae,

Tribulation Force

And Left Behind.

 
I love reading books with religion involved and it has to be a heartfelt meaning.

Like the book, The Help.

 Well - I hope you all have been enjoying, Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit.

Book Reading?

I have contacted the, Elwha Heritage Center, yesterday. And Lisa told me that the September 28, 2012 reading has not yet been set. So at this time; I don't have a date for you to come and join in this, book reading party. As soon as I do get a confirmed date, I'll post it here.

I'm going to read from the Preface, Introduction, Celebrations, Chaos Was Everywhere and They Stood in Awe.

Reading from these chapters of, Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit, will introduce myself to the audience. Also bring to their attention the family life of Fawn and her family. Reading from the chapter, Chaos Was Everywhere, will bring out the Pook Men. I plan on bringing a Pook Man mask for the audience to see and enjoy. They Stood in Awe will leave everyone feeling good about the book.

Wish me good luck! I'm looking forward to this book reading party. It's going to be the first time that I'm going to reading in front of a big crowd :)

LOVE IS ....

You Know Someone/Something Loves You; WHEN

She was thinking, Come on where are they? My heart is faint and it’s getting harder to breathe. Soon fatal heart, soon. Good I can hear the truck coming, finally here they come. If I could, I would run to the road to greet them. I’ll sit here and maybe they will help me into the house, knowing I don’t feel well.

We get out of the truck and greet the poor little thing standing at the foot of the steps. We notice that she is panting and doesn’t look well at all. So we call her inside to sleep indoors; an everyday event.

She was thinking, Okay, One step at a time. One, Two, Three, Four -  I did it!  She thought  as she walked ever so slowly toward the laundry room door. My people love me, as do I love them! Good night for the last time. My heart is going to stop now, I will miss taking care of you and our land.

Today my heart is heavy once again, I won’t see my precious little Angel run to greet us ever again. Rest and you have done a great job taking care of us and the land. She waited for Joey and I to get home before she passed away :/

Love is....Everywhere just take a look around!

I'm working on feeling better :/

It has been like the tide of a river in my life lately; the Tsoo-Yess river comes in and goes out. And that is what it’s been like for me lately. The sales have come to a halt and my health has made me staying at home more then I like. In February the Dr. at the Sophie Trettivick’s Clinic told me I have R.A. (Rheumatoid Arthritis). The sad thing about this …is that I can’t do what I like to do; WORK HARD.

My next book reading will be September 28, 2012 at 5:00 pm-ish in Port Angeles, WA. Other authors will be attending this reading at the Elwha Heritage Center. I’m trying to look forward to it; I just hope I don’t have an episode – R.A.

Be Blessed <3 <3 <3

B2B Tacoma Conventional Center

Friday, September 7, 2012 I attended a great meeting held at Tacoma, WA. It was a great opportunity to hand out some business cards. At this event I handed out Neah Bay Chamber of Commerce brochures, Big Salmon Fishing Resort brochures, and sold 25 books. It was so fun meeting other native people with native owned businesses. My next reading will be at Elwha Heritage Center September 28th, 2012 at 5:00 pm ish. Mark your calendar, these book reading/signing parties are so much fun! And it's a great way to meet new people. I was told that Native People support Native People...so come on prove them right. Come to the Elwha Heritage Center and have a great time, you might enjoy yourself!
If you could please.. place a comment for others to read. Tell them what you liked or disliked about, Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit.

Quote

A good leader, doesn't loss his solid~ground. But stays the same throughout his term in leadership.

"A house is made of walls and beams;
a home is built with love and dreams."
-- Unknown

Yesterday I watched Michelle Obama on television and I loved that she said,
"And I didn't think it was possible, but today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago," she said, "even more than I did 23 years ago, when we first met."

"Barack knows what it means when a family struggles... Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it," she said.

Family is the one thing that is VERY IMPORTANT and we need to uplift each other.

NEW BOOK READING PARTY!

A book reading party is in the works! In September (this month) I'll be reading from, Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit. Sonya invited me to read from my book at the, Elwha Heritage Center. I haven't yet received a date and time but I'll post it here as soon as possible.

I'm working on finding a portion to read from, Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit, for the Elwha Heritage Center . Truly I haven't read from my book at these Book Reading Parties. Helen read for me at the Makah Day Book Reading Party, and it was appreciated! But this will be the first time I'll be reading to the listening audience. Yay :/ ... like I said before, "I have a fear of reading in front of people!" But I'm going to do this :)...baby steps.

If you are in the Port Angeles, WA area, please come to this reading! It sure would be nice to see a large group!
