It might have been the first time that I saw anyone with a cast on. That girl had a thin, long metal stick that she used to scratch her hand, wrist & forearm underneath her cast, but for some reason, she couldn't scratch the itch. I felt so bad for her. She stood up screaming cuz she was panicked.

I'm watching HELL'S KITCHEN S6 Ep05. A young man has a cast on his left hand. It reminded me of being in 3rd grade. A girl in my class had a cast on her hand up to her elbow. She had it for a good amount of time. 1 day she was crying & screaming because her hand was itchy & she couldn't scratch it.😢

OMG. I'm crying, happy tears. You know how, at times, you don't feel well & there are days when you have zero energy. That's me. That's my life. Normally, they clean the main areas where I have company. Living room, dining room, bathrooms & hallways. But, today, they cleaned my fridge & stove, too!

I can finally fall asleep peacefully. I had house cleaners in my home all morning. I'm beyond grateful for them. I'm extremely grateful that my tribe has these services available for us. #Gratitude #ThankYouLord But, I am getting hungry now. LoL! And, I am extremely tired. Maybe, a snack. Then 💤 😴 💤

A writer. A poet. An artist. A painter can make you live forever. When you spark something unique within an artist, they will work tirelessly until that perfect line, word, stanza, or color is just right. An exhale short of perfection. To honor the beauty in you, you become their masterpiece.🎨📝📸

One of my all-time favorite writers & poets is: Pablo Neruda. I love his poetry. I would love to have been a poets muse for a lifetime collection of poetry. When you are loved by a poet, the entire universe will know of your beauty many years later long after you're gone. You live for eternity.

Does anyone watch SQUID GAME: The Challenge? I've heard about the show. Or, is it a show? IDK 🤷‍♀️ This morning, while show surfing through #NETFLIX I came across this game show. I'm watching season one - episode one right now. I love challenge game shows like this! Competition game shows! YYAAWWNN 🥱

I'm extremely grateful for everyone who has a cleaning business across America. Especially here on The Rez. We all need help. Due to certain ailments, I fall behind on housework & my tribe hires local cleaning people to help w/ housework/chores. I've reached the age to receive assistance. #Grateful

I asked them where they were from. They told us Australia! "I love your accent, too." They replied to me & my nephews. Mom was already waiting for us in the hotel lobby. I have never been told that I had a cool accent before by anyone. I didn't even think that I had an accent! Memories of Hawaii.

In 2015, my mom brought myself & 2 of my nephews to Honolulu, Hawaii, for vacation. She wanted us to see Hawaii. She traveled a lot with her sister, my Aunty Mom Virginia. We were on an elevator leaving our rooms & a family from Australia were on it w/us! "I love your accent." I told them.

I didn't know that there were 125 open questions in science. I'm listening to Deepak Chopra on YouTube with Mayim Bialik. I don't understand the distances that scientists talk about when they talk about the solar system. They always mention X amount of billions of light years away. And, etc? 🤔🤷‍♀️

I had another #celebritydream • I was walking along a sidewalk in a country side. To my right, was a small forest & creek. It was a beautiful sunny late morning. To my left were 2 small houses w/wooden fences around each home. Amy Slaton was walking w/Me. Tammy Slaton was waving at us at her house.

Dear Mom, what does it look like in Heaven? I envision a double rainbow with metallic dragonflies flying around a wishing well. A river close by & a cedar canoe with the face of a NW Coast Salish Wolf. Our loved ones in Heaven wear cedar hats, wool woven dresses & vests & Jesus is close by. #wonder

Random Fact: The plastic tips at the end of your shoelaces are called aglets. Cows have a best friend in their herd. Whenever they're away from each other, they become panicked & stressed out. They need to be near one another to feel secure, comfortable & at ease. I didn't know that about cows!

When we lost my cousin, I prayed really hard for her Mom. Her Mom is still with us. 🥰🕯✝️🙏🏼🕯✝️🙏🏼🕯✝️🙏🏼🌹🍁🌹🍂🍁🌹 I know that they both have so much love for one another. I know that they still love one another unconditionally. But, you never know when God is going to call your name. Forgiveness. Love. Family. 🙏🏼

A couple of weeks ago, one of my cousins passed away. 💔😭💔🕯✝️🙏🏼 She was a couple of years older than me. We hung out a lot when we were pre-teens & early teenagers. Her mom & my mom are/were first cousins. So, our grandmothers are/were sisters. My cousin didn't always get along with her Mom. 🕯✝️🙏🏼

He said. "And,it's my honor to do this for you." He said. Also, in the dream, behind us was a huge, elegant & beautiful museum. Each person present wore their traditional dresses/clothing/ regalia. Some people had their hand drums. Some people had their rattles. We all sang an honor song for him.🤲🏾🙏🏼

Some of the traditional cedar-bark carvings were from the late 1800's. Some of the paintings & artwork were from Puget Sound Tribes, too. South Puget Sound Tribes. In the dream, he purchased everything that he could find & returned them back to each tribe where they originated from. "It's my duty."

I had a dream about Robin Williams once. We were outside in Vancouver, B.C. somewhere. Beautiful afternoon. Huge, beautiful tree. We sat underneath it. A thin, slow creek nearby. All NW Coast Salish People were there. He returned many traditional cedar-bark carved head/face masks to each tribe.

I have quite a few books in my collection of unread books. So, I am reading more. As a little girl and teenager, I used to love reading. 📚 I read every single night before going to bed. It was essential. However, I haven't been reading as much. But, I'm putting time aside to read more once again!

I loved hearing my Uncle Ray & other canoe family singers who showed up to honor Aunty Mom & her family on the day of her Farewell Service. They sang beautifully. My cousin Image, too, is a phenomenal singer. Aunty Mom had 2 amazing & beautiful Homegoing Services - 1 in Muckleshoot • 1 in Tulalip.🍂

On Aunty Mom's memorial notice, there were beautiful Forget-Me-Nots on the cover & a beautiful photo of her wearing her ribbon skirt, cedar hat & oh how beautiful she looks. She's in Heaven now with her husband, all of her siblings, except for one & she's with her beautiful parents & grandchildren.

God will call all of our names one day. On my mom's birthday 9/20/26 HE called my Aunty Mom Millie's name.💔 My Mom is in Heaven now, too. My Aunty Mom Virginia is the only aunty we all have left. My mom was the baby sister. Aunty Mom Virginia said, "Marlene received Millie for her b-day present 🎁."

I'm usually afraid to hold the hands of my loved ones after they pass away. However, this morning, my Aunty Mom Millie looked so beautiful. I had to be strong & brave. I stood before her as the members of my church sang beautiful songs. I spoke to her own my mind, "I love you, Aunty Mom. 4ever." 🕯🙏🏼✝️

Random thought. Have you ever thought about your place in the world? Your place in the world varies. As a daughter, you are the greatest love of your mother's life. As a best friend, you are the soul mate to your friend. As a human, you are a giant to an ant 🐜. Random thoughts this night. 🤔
