I would like to take this opportunity to thank Circle Craft Christmas Art Market 2011.  This thank you goes out to all the countless staff and volunteers that put in a great deal of commitment to put on a great show for all the artists and various vendors that came to sell their wares.

I would also like to thank all the many visitors that came to our sacred Long House sponseredy by Aboriginal Tourism British Columbia and all those who visited me at my booth, Aboriginal Creeations.  I would especially like to thank all my many customers who have supported my art past, present, and in the future too!

I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season ahead and may all your inspirations, dreams, and wishes come true for all of you in 2012.

May all of us have "A New Beginning" in 2012! 

"A New Beginning"

"With the morning fast approaching, I realize that a new day is beginning.  It has occurred to me that I can create each day as a new beginning.  I don't have to remain trapped in the past - I can move on.

Each day is very precious, don't let them slip away from you, hold on to them and embrace each and everyone."

 Today was one of the most beautiful days at Klahowya Village in Stanley Park!  

As the sun warmed the Village, my daughter Jenna and I met many visitors from around the world, local people, and the occasional celebrity some of which came to my booth "Aboriginal Creeations".

Many of the visitors that we met at our booth added a bead to "A New Beginning - peace on earth" dream catcher.  

The people of the world are now in the process of completing the second dream catcher and once complete they will hang in Klahowya Village with all the messages of peace, respect, and love for our Mother Earth and ALL her creations.

A small example of some of the messages left by people of the world are: "Peace within - Peace among - Peace between" - Coquitlam B.C.; "I am proud to contribute to this beautiful piece of culture in art - Hannah"; "live in peace forever and always I'm from Mississauga".  

There are many more messages written from all people around the world such as Germany, France, England, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, China, India, USA, Philippines, and Canada, just to name a few. 

I would like to thank all the people that came to Klahowya Village and all those who contributed to "A New Beginning - peace on earth" dream catchers.

I hope you all have a safe journey in life and that all your messages of peace will be heard around the world - and more importantly - be carried out.

 This past weekend I participated in the "Klahowya Village" located at the train ride in Stanley Park in Vancouver British Columbia Canada.

There I met many people of the world, all on a common journey - to enjoy a beautiful park and to see what the Aboriginal People of Klahowya Village have to offer.  

Many people enjoyed the "Spirit Catcher Train Ride"; traditional dancers, singers, & drummers; traditional aboriginal home cooked food; traditional Interrupted aboriginal cultural tours; and many of the finest artist from around British Columbia.  

Most importantly - many people enjoyed the park in peace and harmony with each other!  

Many people that visited my booth, Aboriginal Creeations, contributed to "A New Beginning - Peace on Mother Earth" dream catcher.   The dream catcher consists of the four colours of mankind from around the world which are red, yellow, black, and white.  Each person then added one clear glass bead.  When finished, the dream catcher will consist of the many spirits from around the world that came together to live in peace and harmony.  When this project is complete (in about a week) it will hang in Klahowya Village with all the messages of Peace left by the people of the world. 

Come to Stanley Park next weekend to add your message of peace and add your bead to the cause of peace on our Mother Earth!  It will be a "New Beginning for the World here on Mother Earth".

Peace be with you all on your journey here on Mother Earth!

Deep in the old growth forest of British Columbia, Canada I began my journey – a journey that would open my mind, soul, and heart to our survival – and the survival of our entire Mother Earth and ALL her creations. It is the ancient giant trees that once stood so tall for thousands upon thousands of years - only to be cut down for a few dollars of today. What about tomorrow? Then what?

More importantly, how will our animals survive without the entire forest? What about the moss, the bees and the water ways? Oh my! We must learn to preserve our entire Mother Earth and all her creations. We have now seen the effects of our actions that have resulted with global warming. Our ice caps that have melted never to return; our ocean’s life that have vanished forever; and the animals and other living creatures that have become homeless after a clear cut. Where will they go? How will they survive?

We must look 7 generations ahead before we make such decisions to act so drastically. Will our actions of today be sustainable into the 7th generation from now? Will we have food to eat? Water to drink? Or most importantly air to breathe? 

Please feel free to read the stories that I have written through the animals spirits that have come to me through my dreams, intuition, and life experiences on my journey here on Mother Earth.
