Just some updated pictures of my niece. How she is growing so fast -shakes head- 7 months old already!!
A awesome book for sure. It was a bit slow going in the beginning, but a few chapters in, it really grabs you. I have always been interested in the Indians and have done a lot of history reading on them, but these go back even further. The one thing I found very interesting, is how they would pretty much use every bit of a animal they have killed to live.
The Sacred Stones Book 2 of this series.....Courageous, passionate men and women battle for survival of their clans--in the shadow of the great mammoth who speaks with thunder....
As the massive glaciers fade and the wide seas rise, the warm grasslands of the Americas bring prosperity to the gentle People of the Red World, followers of the Great Ghost Spirit, the White Mammoth. But farther north, where the harsh dry winds howl, another nation, the People of the Watching Star, are enmeshed with legends of an evil shaman and the man-eating monster called the wanawut. Relentlessly they have hunted the mammoth to near extinction. Now, as raiders and ravagers they are coming south to invade the villages of the People of the Red World. The only ones who can prevent the murder of innocents and the final slaughter of the mammoth are a young boy shaman to whom the animals speak, a man whose strength equals his conviction, and a woman who hopes that, beyond violence and cruelty, humankind will recognize a stronger power--the force of love.

The purpose of Life....
To make a difference.
I heard that tonight and it got me thinking. Actually this has been a thought of mine for quite some time and plenty of days where it has left me quite frustrated. I guess its more because I am not working at the moment and my next career move is up in the air. I'm basically feeling pretty lost at the moment.
All I have heard all my life is we are here for a purpose. Looking back on my life, I can't see how that has come into play and maybe, just maybe it has yet to come.
``You do not have the right to end your life. It is not yours to end. Your life has a purpose. You have not yet done what you came here to do."
If that is the case, I have often wonder what my sisters purpose was. I mean she was 15 years old when she passed away. What could she have possibly done to make a difference? What was her purpose? I find it hard to believe for she didn't have a chance to really live life. Thoughts like these haunt me and only frustrate me more.
But for me. I have no special skills. I have no awesome career that is improving quality of life. How am I contributing? I don't even have just 'one' thing that I truly love. I just try to get through each day as best as I can and hope at the end of the day I learned something new, I lived it to the fullest.
But going back to the statement I started out with. Tonight, I thought on that a bit and although I might not have made a difference in our world, but maybe, I have made a difference in someones life. Maybe there is that one person I was meant to cross paths with or maybe even a handful. Maybe there was someone who needed me at that very moment and I have helped them out with whatever may have been going on in their lives. Maybe all they needed was my smile to turn their bad day upside down and in turn, I put a light in their step. Maybe my purpose in life is because someone just needed me.
We will never truly know what our purpose is, but I have come to realize that I just can't dwell on it anymore and drive myself crazy. Just living and being happy is all that matters.
