Blessings of the Desert Matriarchs

Winter blessings are upon us in the high desert southwest. My family is amidst the winter activities of the eastern Dine' people in northwest New Mexico.
 
I share this image as a means of blessings. I feel so very blessed to be able to be in the presence of such matriarchs as they put of a new weaving loom. The voices and conversations of my aunties and grandmothers is priceless. The language of the Dine' matriarch is medicine for my spirit.
 
I hope you are well and finding blessings in your own family circle and friends during this magical time of Christmas.
 
Blessings.
