connected through the spirits of mother earth and father sky we share the same path but we all live in our own little world….. we travel in our minds to far away land and time periods looking for answers..

I haven’t blogged in a while so this may be long!

We went to Universal Studios and I felt so dumb because I was like the only one that didn’t know and I got really excited! I went on the Mummy ride three times and the Haunted House twice. I’m pretty sure I almost lost my voice from all the screaming because it was hard speaking the next day.  Anyways, the tour was great! I had no idea there was so much to Universal Studios and now I can really appreciate all it has. It was fun, the city was absolutely stunning that day

Then we went to a museum and did some gardening the next day. Boy was that unexpected! We were hauling rocks and raking up leaves all day! My back was killing me after that and I was another shade darker from a combination of sun exposure (woohoo, tan!) and dirt (booo) but I was glad we contributed to a good cause.  It felt good being able to see how much progress we made after only three hours (and jumping in the pool afterwards!). I was also happy with how I learned about the many different ways I could use sage. I mean I knew it was great but wow! tea for colds!? Amazing!

Then we went to the Gene Autry Museum yesterday, which was amazing. I saw a lot of baskets from my tribe and pottery from my sister’s tribe, it made me miss her but just a little bit! I also saw some beadwork and it surprised how it was in such great shape for being so old; The people at the museum are doing a great job of preserving the artifacts that they have received from the various tribes.

Toodles!

last night was so fun! i really enjoyed everyone’s talent. and i loved how everyone was fearless and they had courage and danced and sing it was so fun! but my neck is killing me today its all that head banging we all did last night but it was worth it :o)  and Jess and Manny.. you guys rocked that mic!!

Alright so today is day 12 of the program and we have really experienced a lot! The amazing people that have taken time to speak with us about their journey to the professional arena has been both insightful and inspiring. Even though I just received my B.A. I now feel like I CAN decide to do whatever I want in this life- i will no longer limit my options to things I think are related to my major. I also realized that everyone is different and perhaps their needs are different from what mine are. It is good to be able to remember not everyone is going to get my personality and to be able to be alright with that. I also am grateful to hear so many diverse voices out in the “real’ world.- Becca

Dear Friends of the Pipeline Community, I have had the most wonderful time living and learning with you all. I WILL NEVER FORGET THE PEOPLE I CONNECTED WITH. No matter how long we don’t see each other. I don’t forget the people who matter to me. We’ve only known each other for a little over a week but i feel like you guys have become so much more than my “room mates”. You guys are the new family! You guys have taught me things i wouldn’t have learned back in my city, I couldn’t be more appreciative. I’ve made so many connections like with Elka, Jessica(m), Rebecca, Alex(girl), Christa, Skyla, Fabian, Kapele, and many others. I never would have thought to meet so many people who are like my personal light houses on a stormy day, they enlighten me so much. I can honestly say I’m going to think about you guys along the way, It’d be a shame to go on and not use the information I received. I’m so thankful for this moment and I’m glad I got to know you all. It’s another chapter in my book, we can’t go back but we can look and there we are on every page, the memories are always safe 🙂 All the times that we shared, every place, everywhere, you all touched my life. I’ll hold you in my heart forever, I’ll always remember you
“Don’t be sad when the sun goes down, You wake up and I’m not around”

We’ll still have the summer after 🙂 I promise to come back next year as a mentor, so you guys better watch out lol..

that museum was very interesting. i loved it cause it was like a maze and i got lost a couple times but that just made it more fun:) i think the best part of the museum was the gun corner. cause they were very pretty and shiny and the same with the sky dreamers that was very amazing seeing what we stared off with to what we have now. but yeah i had fun. thank you:)

The museum was such an interesting experience yesterday! I loved all of their artifacts that I saw… from our Native cultures. A big part of that museum was very emotional and yet still very educational… We also had the talent show yesterday! (TOTALLY EMBARRASSING) I can’t believe it. My mom bought me this air guitar T-shirt and I played in an AIR BAND!!! It was great!!! I participated in many acts, trying to entertain the students from Japan. They were a blast to dance with. I really enjoyed Nick’s guitar playing… It was one of my favorite parts. I could believe… man he was awesome. We had a dance party after everyones acts… It was a new experience learning new dance moves from the Japanese. I think they enjoyed learning new moves from us to.
