Everything is relative - everything you observe and digest is a core value - especially important when it is not yours

Everything is relative – everything you observe and digest is a core value – especially important when it is not yours

We are animals with a super power. We have many super powers. We have been given such a bountiful amount of super powers that we don’t often know we have them. Sometimes others recognize their own super power quicker. But quicker does not equate to better.. If using, damaging, falsely holding up anothers for their own personal gain is quick, then slow, resilient, kind, grace, listening are…

ON the Day - Domestic Violence Exit Plan

ON the Day – Domestic Violence Exit Plan

Planning on leaving a domestic violence relationship is fucked up. It gets worse and there is no guarantee it will ever get better. We are conditioned for bad. We are already preconditioned to feel like we deserve everything we get. We are pretty and only pretty girls cause trouble. We are smart and we need to shut the fuck up. I compare the tenacity and strength of the woman as a creature…

Fail Up

When I was a young girl, my dad – who is my hero – taught me how to live my life. He did so in amazing ways. He taught me how to fight. He said the scariest thing that someone bigger and stronger ever has to face is the moment after they knock someone down – they see that person get back up. Before that lesson, he taught me that a fight should never become physical if you use your words – use…

Over leveraging

Donald Trump over leveraged his self. I am getting blown up with offers to multiply my donation by 5,000 % if I donate to his campaign. Fuck that! I am a simple gal, loving in my simple world- b I t let me tell you this: My name will NEVER be attached to a $100 donation that gets multiplied by 5,000. Fuck that shit! Or even a single dollar. Do not get me wrong, I am a donor or have been in…

Strong words

Entitlement Reparations White Supreme Black Lives Matter I feel like I am living in a real-time tug of war as an Alaska Native Woman. I feel like we are the quieter space in between – and everyone wants to have what I got. The vultures are circling and this is why: We have to know and exercise what we got – otherwise we are just a carcass for the taking. I have been gorilla posting to…

I love Las Vegas

You have to find the place you fit in. I was kicked out of my culture. Ejected. Given a “pink ticket” in Native-speak. I wasn’t told not to come back, but damn sure it was made clear. And you know what? I finally – for the first time in my life – feel like I fit in. That is what Las Vegas is to me. This is the only place I ever been that it is ok to be a free spirited life-loving, music and…

Native Way

There are so many life lessons in the Native way. Lessons of giving freely for one – and the topic of this here post, you all… The Native Way of giving is that it is offensive if denied. The gift of giving is pure in the Native Way of Being. Receiving and accepting are the hardest gifts for those on their journey striving toward purity in heart. There are personal lessons on both sides of that…

My mother's people

My mother’s people

I grew up in McGrath Alaska. I am a Norwegian woman. I am Anderson. I grew up learning, “You are an Anderson”! I am Anderson! Always have been, always ever been. Always to be. Andersons never berated me. Andersons never stepped on my neck to lift themselves up. I never experienced that desperation and short-sightedness until I was forced into my mothers people. My mother’s people lost…

I do not want to live with leadership based on fear

In an apathetic world, leaders must take a personal account for their voice, their part. Sometimes silence means peace. Peace is good, I thought. There is a difference between apathy and peace. Apathy is disengaging for a lack of hope. Peace, I think is just being able to sit at rest. I am tired, battle worn, and just want to feel peace. I am tired of outside interest groups interjecting…

Trump needs to prove his grit

You want MY Vote? You go to where I come from. Get your talking head outta your private jet and EXPERIENCE firsthand my way of life. Sending your kid on a junket to Alaska was bullshit. Donny, Jr. Fucked up when he advised you to go against mining. Overcome that. By your damn self. Then ask me if I will vote for your ass.

Love Language

What if… What do you do if your love language is fucked up? What if you are a project who has been beaten into the depths of self-hate, then marginally gets fished out as long as you comply and conform? I grew up being told by my mother that, “you will be the first woman president”.then she told me, “pretty girls only cause trouble”. Then she told me, “You’re a liar:. In Between any of those…

Leadership

Leadership – what loaded word. The only thing I know to be true about leadership is this: Leaders make decisions based on the information they have in a single moment. Leaders know that when making a decision that they absolutely do not have all the information necessary at that pivotal moment and yet they know one thing. They were exalted to a position to make that tough call at that moment…

Weakness versus Caring and the fallout thereof

Desperate people cannot be trusted. I am a dominant human. And this is the secret that also makes me untrustworthy. It is easy to rise above when you are always on top. The true test of your self-worth is extremely multi-faceted when you were born into desperation – well-known to be untrustworthy and then was exalted. And this is my opinion about the difference between coming up from…
