My Life- My Purpose/Herbal Remedies

Hello world.

My life is all about helping others, teaching and sharing what I have learned and am still learning. My hope is that this series of articles will make the readers life a little better.
This is my story.
It is not a fancy page with lot's of picture's, it is like me: straight forward and no frills! Herbal healing and simple living has been my passion all my life and with the help of herbs I have been keeping my husband for the last 15 years. With the help of the powerful herbs Mother Earth is providing, lot's of prayers and faith, he is still with us, despite medical reports and doctors predictions. I thank our Creator every day for the life he is giving and growing on this planet.
This is an introduction to my life and my work.
It is also a Gateway to my other work here on Squidoo.

These article's are not filled with pictures or even fancy words, just bare facts and information. Please be not disappointed that is not all glitter and stars.
With this I am trying to create a information page only, with the hope it will help some else out there!

Whatever it is that is important to you, do not forget my motto:
"Learning is Life and Life is learning!"

So here I go, this is me:

I am Native American and have a good sized background in Herbal Healing.
My passions are Herbal Remedies, all Herbal Remedies, not only Native American, simple live and our Environment.

I was given extensive knowledge about herbal healing by my Lakota Grandmother who was a herbal healer and the only medical person in her small town. Grandma did everything from setting broken bone to delivering babies and curing colds and upset stomach's. I wish I could have learned more from her but she left us too early.
I also picket up a lot of Gypsy Folklore in Germany where I made friends with several Gypsy families. My simple life experiences come with having to make do with little income, living on the poor side of town and now taking care of my disabled husband and still being able to help my friends.
The passion for our environment comes from being Native American and being raised as a caretaker for this Mother Earth.

I also have a real interest in writing and sharing the things I know, with people that are wanting to learn and are open to simple living.

I traveled all over the world, with the job I had for 18 years, learned local healing practices from Germany to the South Pacific and from to Brasil to Alaska. It was always my goal to learn as much as I possibly could.

Now I am ready to give this knowledge on to you.

I am also very involved in Native American issues here on the Reservation and volunteer my time at different venues. Suicide, Spousal Abuse and Drug and Alcohol prevention is close to my heart and I volunteer to be an adviser and counselor at the local Drug and Alcohol Prevention programs. I am know also to be an advocate for the Homeless, especially if there are small children involved.

The health and welfare of the people around me are always on my mind and I try to find ways to help by being active in various programs.

My time is divided being a freelance writer, writing on a volunteer base for different charity and church activities, creating Native American Crafts, promoting local crafts and artisans and taking care of my disabled husband.

As you can see my life is full and busy. But I always find time to chat and help my friends in need.
My goal in Life is to make Life worth living for others as well as my self.
