| Kiknkowgirl's Story Page 3 |
| Most of my life I've taken one step forward and ended up two steps back. Just when I think I've got it all figured out, the path before me splits and I'm headin' a different direction. Sometimes my life is vibrantly alive and full of promise. Then other times it is quietly obscure. I've enjoyed a variety of life experiences. From being a housewife, a mother, a student, a preacher's wife, an interpreter for the deaf, a competitive artist, a published writer, a lecturer, a teacher, and a cancer survivor. As an interpreter for the deaf, I've met many wonderful people and learned some of what it is like for them to live in a hearing world. My greatest enjoyment came when I discovered my American Indian roots, found acceptance within the dance arena, organized a give-away and paid my way into the circle to dance in my own regalia. I greatly respect the drum which represents the heartbeat of Mother Earth and those who gather around the drum and bring it to life. Found a special home as I joined my brothers and sisters around that drum and let it calm my troubled soul. I have taught anger management seminars. Received my degree in Women's Biblical Studies and Deaf Communications from Sunset International Bible Institute in Lubbock, TX. Fondly I look back over the past 50 years and can see what a rewarding and active life I've been priviledged to enjoy. At this moment you may ask do I know where life will take me? And I will answer: No. But, I will tell you this, I know who I am: a child of God and a Christian. And after a 6 month sabbatical inside the cave of life, I know who God created me to be: a Writer/Author and a Christian Life Coach. Been through my share of illnesses and surgeries. Refuse to complain since I still have all my limbs, each in working order. I'm not physically blind. Not physically deaf. I can still clearly think, reason logically, and can take care of myself. Yet my body does carry its battle scars. Each one has a story of its own and a victory which took its place. Hope you have found a connection between us here. For we all are related. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to share a part of my life's story with you. May your life's journey be filled with joy, love, laughter and happiness. Remember: "Faith, hope, love; but, the greatest of these is love." Ah'Ho. Kiknkowgirl2u Updated: May 9, 2007 |
