I answered this call, because I knew in my heart it was the "Way" that I needed to go. For many years before that I was a wanderer and did not know where I wanted to be or what I wanted to do. I married young, at nineteen and had four beautiful children, one boy and three girls. They grew up and went their own journey. I moved on and on and lived in ruined trails. Then the way opened before me, and I knew. So for the next several years I walked upon the ancient path I had to unlearn many things and rid my life and mind and the way I thought, of many poisons. I had to learn new things for myself but they were actually ancient things. It is no great mystery, but I live in the spirit world as much as I live in the natural world. My Native Blood beats the strongest within my veins, it has always called me to my roots, even as a very small child. I am of mixed blood. I have always known I was Cheyenne, and just recently discovered that I am also Ute. I also have Islander roots, and am French and Irish. But my heart lead my life, and it has always been Native. I have been told that I have lived three lifetimes before this one as a full blood Native. And that I have traveled many lifetimes gathering much wisdom and knowledge to give to this lifetime. I have been told that I have a great purpose that will help multitudes of people, this prophecy still has not been fulfilled but I feel closer to its fulfillment lately. I am a down to earth person with a positive spirit. I am caring and concerned, and live according to that. I am a mystery, and few truly know me at all, even those closest to me. My whole life is caught up in the spiritual trail of the Native Peoples...they are my heart. The medicine people and elders from the otherside visit me all the time and they come to talk to me when I sleep. My whole bedroom is filled with them. When I meditate or do a spirit journey I often times see myself inside the circle and many medicine people are all around me. I am not sure what all this means, but the medicine people and elders are very much with me and helping me on this journey of the ancient path. I know my grandmother from my Cheyenne Nation has always helped me and kept me solidly journeying toward my true roots. My name Red Heart was given to me one day when I had been praying and doing ceremony. I was thinking, I will never have a name ceremony because I can not find my people because I was adopted as a child. I can not prove I am Native orgin....this saddened my heart...because my heart is full blood...Then the medicine people came and visited me that day and they gave me a name ceremony...they named me Red Heart the one who walks the ancient path....I am honored to be given that name and it means so much to me and my whole life's journey...It fits me perfectly...To this day I walk the ancient path... Yes I am young on the inside and have much fire within....and I am a warrior and survivor. I have not been sleeping for a very long time my Native blood has always called to me since I was a very small child...Also I am a very spiritual, not religious person. I have lived and overcame and healed from many adversities in my life. I am very strong and powerful in many ways. My dreams are constantly changing and emerging....I have lived most of my dreams out including my current ones..... I do have tremendous fire within and use it hopefully in powerful ways and positive ways....I am a warrior and a survivor. I am passionate about life and what I believe in. I genuinely care for people, Mother Earth, etc. My life has given me many lessons to learn and I have learned well and am still learning...I am very young in heart and in my spirit though an old soul who has traveled and lived many lifetimes to gather wisdom and learning. My dreams....are many I aspire to live them out...just as I have done the ones before them. To use my wisdom and gifts, talents in whatever comes along in my personal journey and path. I have survived and overcame many things in this life. Taken from my family and placed in an orphanage at age five, and then in many foster homes in which all but one, I was molested, was adopted at age nine and my adopted father was also a child molestor....married young at age 19, and had four children who are all grown now. My first husband was very abusive and I divorced him after 16 years of marriage. Was homeless a little over two years on the streets with two of my small children, but while living on the streets I went to college and worked two jobs. I was kidnapped from one of my foster homes at age six, and raped and abused by three men and left for dead. I worked in the film industry in Hollywood for 16 years. I worked as a nurse to finish raising my two smallest children for 10 years. I worked for the Battered Womens Network for two years. I have been a missionary and Bible teacher for 25 years during all that time. I walked away from Christianity 8 years ago and stepped upon a new path to me...but it is an ancient path...I still believe in God but not religion.... I am an ordained minister, a spirit and soul healer, a writer, filmmaker, advocate for others.....I genuinely care for people and this earth and the conditions there of. I enjoy the simple things, love nature and people, would love to travel more, I enjoy road trips, meeting new people, helping others in their own journey. I have many dreams...and my life is full making them realizations....I aspire to do many things yet before I cross over to the other side.... That is who and what I am.....
