Hey, they're good... when my daughter was small, when I put her to bed, we would kiss one another's cheek and say "Goddess bless and goddess keep" we also used a lot of "safe passage today for myself and others" We fancied they helped a bit

In her sixteenth year, we wish her well and know her time is near Please join me in a moment of celebration - to acknowledge the girl dog I picked up one Saturday afternoon long ago (1994-95?) and to thank her for all her years by my side We listened to "The Grateful Dead Hour" on WXPN. We got horribly lost on the way home. She was two. She didn't have a very good reputation and she was only supposed to stay with me for three days, (I was a foster Mom for Gordon Setters). Her reputation was undeserved and three days turned into fourteen years now one of my best friends is coming to the end of her journey please hold her (and us) in the light

Thanks to you both, for enthusiasm and blessings -and it was amazing! I love my daughter, and oh yes, my new son-in-law - so much and was humbled and honored (not even the right words) when she told how much it would mean to her if I offered the blessings and officiated for them. I am a Teacher/Social Worker by trade, don't particularly love public speaking, have no (tangible) affiliation with any church, am not a Judge or Steamboat Captain, and am, quite frankly, pretty shy. But after all is said and done what an experience - a spirit does move you when you speak to something so huge, so solemn, really. risteen - the Native ceremonies are truest to my heart, they are as you say, 'beautiful and honest" - how I like to see the world, what I believe in and what speaks to my heart and surely, what I wish for my sweet girl the Apache Blessing is a perfect example, speaking to the two in a few short paragraphs the lesson of life/love so get to stepping there, I can only imagine the magic you will find, I might even look myself

It did make the day for us, in a way. It was a symbol of life and our connection to it. If that is what you mean by spirit, okay. Okay.

Last Friday evening, I had the pleasure of officiating at my daughter's wedding in Laguna Beach, CA. When she asked me to perform the ceremony back in January, I just couldn't understand how that could be possible.. Thanks to ULC and a long conversation with the Orange County Clerks office, I stood in a canyon before about a hundred friends and family members and asked for blessings for my sweet daughter and her new husband. It was positively magical... The prayers we gathered, "Prayer to the Four Winds" and the Apache Wedding Blessing made this ceremony so personal and heartfelt, like I said, magical. (a Red Tailed Hawk even showed up earlier in the day) I am honored. Thank You.
