My teachers have been around me all along in the people I've met in my journey through life, in the quiet, alone times spent thinking things through, in all the beauty that surrounds me in this sacred place we Ojibwe know as aki, earth. And most importantly, once I opened my heart to the Creator's love and allowed it to live through me, through my actions, my life has never been the same."
