It is so special when one receives a gift from the heart, especially when the person sending the gift has no investment in the situation except that of love for another person, unconditional love.
Yesterday I received a little leather pouch with fringes on the bottom and a string attached so I could wear it around my neck. The person sending the gift is a shaman of sorts and I have worked with her in the last 8 years in Libby, but we were never close.
Inside the pouch were: #1 - a hat or lapel pin, a figure of wonder woman, that understand was one of this woman's most treasured items (saw her through a diabetic pregnancy!)...the note read: "to fight for you when you are too weak."
#2 - A silver thunder bird with a turquoise stone...the note read: "to give you the ability to soar past pain."
#3 - A desert rose...the note read "roll with the heat of chemo punches."
#4 - A pink ribbon breast cancer pin....the note read, "so you never give up the fight."
#5 - An amethyst..the note read "to bring you peace."
#6 - A ruby (belonged to my friend's 'Mama Moon' and was carried through many battles...the note read..to put blood back into your heart and your ink pen."
Last was a stone fish...that I was directed to name....I chose to call the fish "Sammy" and see him as a guide back to my spawning place.
Wasn't this the nicest gift ever?
She sent me a note and the last sentence read: Never stop writing, your pen is your heart beat.

- The Calico Pen
- My book "The Bastard Tree" is still available on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. I hve had a lot of positive remarks about my story and although I am not making money with it, I am glad I did it. It is one of those things that people always say, "you should write a book," so I did. I like to write and I hope you will enjoy reading what I post.
