Leo is Turning 13 today!
He’s my 3rd Grandchild!
In Tribal Indigenous Custom for proper development of community …. At the age of 13, a Warrior is Born.
A Warrior is not about going out and Making War.
A Warrior is about Protecting the Elders, the Life-Givers (women), the Children and the Sick.
They receive their first horse and learn how to care for a Horse. Horse Law is Sacred and is the first relationship formed outside the family for a youthful young man.
My son William, on his 13th birthday, found Eclipse, an untamed Paint at the Stables behind our home on Red Run Road in Tampa. There, he began to learn the Thundering Years Curriculum and begin Home Schooling. Thundering Years is a Native North American cultural learning system, that allows the teens to begin to emote themselves into the community aka tribal family. They are given the rights to express themselves knowing that their ideas are fresh and new and that having had proper guidance as a younger child, they would bring the tribe into the next level of development and creation. The Thundering Years are real because the youth are full of hormones and emotions of competition and they are taught how to guide themselves while being able to express themselves, freely.
I asked the owner of the barn if my son William could Volunteer with the horses, as he just turned 13 years old and he found the stables on the path in the "backyard" trail, as I was considering renting a horse for him, looking around at different options in the area. The man asked why he should be allowed, as he only took 16 yo and up. I told him that I was interested in teaching him the Native American custom of Horse Law, and I understood the Warrior Teachings. At that point, he shared a copy of a manuscript his Great Grandfather wrote about Seminole Horse Law. True Story. William got to Volunteer! Eclipse, became his horse that he had to break.
Leo Turns 13 this year. He has now embarked on a very wonderful journey where he will be learning the Hawaiian Culture in a Charter school in Hawaii. : ) I feel that culture and beauty are everywhere to be found. We are ReBirthed and ReNewed, just as the Eagle, at times in our lives when our bodies and minds become ready to align into the next part of the journey. For his 13th birthday, he will receive his VERY FIRST COMPUTER! Yes! He already knows how to code ;) working from his mom's laptop. He's super intelligent because he has. a super ability of being autistic.
On 11/11/11 I was at the foot of Mauna Kea in the Hilo Medical Center for 6 days at that point. I had suffered a DVT and multiple pulmonary embolisms and was told that I was lucky to get to the hospital in time. However, by 11/11/11, I ended up Crossing Over to the Stars in an Asencion that is unlike any experience I have ever had.
I awoke early as usual, eagerly anticipating news on whether I could go home. While on the phone with my mom, just as I was about to hang up, a sinking feeling washed over me, followed by a sudden pain in my body. Struggling to breathe, I found myself reflecting on all my achievements and failures, as my life flashed before my eyes. Every aspect of my character, both good and bad, the light and the dark, flooded my thoughts until I felt like I was bursting into a kaleidoscope of colors hovering above my body. These vibrant and thick colors seemed to defy gravity, keeping me suspended over my bed.
The pain felt overwhelming, leading me to give up as I no longer wished to continue. I surrendered, and at that moment, a beautiful sound enveloped me, transporting me into a realm of pure crystal light. Without a physical form or sight, I could perceive in all directions amidst various shades of white and crystal. The surreal sound resonated, erasing all pain. I felt weightless, akin to a feather, as the sound, not of angels but of a profoundly beautiful frequency, filled the space. A thought emerged that I must return HOME, with the awareness of my grandson Leo's upcoming birth in 10 days, compelling me to go back and witness his arrival rather than become him. (In many cultures, it is said that there is a 10 day period of absence of spirit that will return as life in another child about to be birthed, I did not know that at the time but found this in Hawaiian and Tibetan teachings after I spoke this ascension story and a Spiritual Teacher presented the wisdom to me). The thought persisted: "I must return HOME."
With that thought, to my right a Viscous Blue Portal opened up and I felt my body lie down and gravitate into the abyss, as it carried me in the direction of a question mark (?) I went into the portal, up, around to the left, then down and back into the colors! I floated there for a moment and then BAMMMM Hit the bed in so much pain, yet was happy I was home so I can meet my grandson LEO!
The encounter felt incredibly authentic. Later that day, following my recovery and the doctors' advice to remain in the hospital for a longer period, I turned to my computer to connect with the 11/11/11 Light Workers who were active across various platforms. Despite having plans to attend an event that evening, my hospital stay prevented me from joining Medicine For the People as a photographer, which left me feeling disappointed. Nevertheless, I travelled the internet on my lap top in the hospital and googled Star Nations and anything I could to document my journey. I met an amazing Spiritual Leader on 11/11/11 Jeva Uqualla (please click link) from the Havasupai tribe in Arizona, who spoke about the Language of Unique Beingness, a concept that resonated with me just like my own story The Faeries of Willow Tribe & Cheyenne.
Additionally, I had the opportunity to watch the first premiere of the movie Thrive, that was released 11/11/11, I was one of the first 100 people to see it. It has been slightly edited and reuploaded in 2012 as new things came through on 11/11/11 that had to be added. All thanks to being in the hospital. Foster Gamble and Kimberly Clark, the minds behind the film, became individuals I started to follow. These experiences and connections would have been missed if everything in life had been perfect.
By the time Leo was 20 months old, we realized that he was a bit different, he loved to fly, he was very, very skilled at being able to walk draw, super intelligent and his voice was angelic and different, he had no fear. We also discovered that he was autistic.
True Story …
Oma Loves You Leo!
Happy 13th Birthday!
You Are Now A Warrior of Peace
