This is my b-day, I was born feet first head last. Maybe thats why I can be so f***y or an irritant or worse. For those who know me too well. You know what I mean. But behind all this, I am a man with faults but always with determination. So I splash out inspiration, affection with tones of empathy.

I wish my dad could have given me advice, living your 50's? I wish I had more time with him. His passing is only days after my B-day. I also wish he could have guided me on how men are in thier ways or at least tell me, do this and don't do that.

My work as an artisan , my musical dream with . My creativity at its peek yet still persistent in working hard to fullfill my goals of inspirations. My journeys have brought me to an Indigenous World, a place where I continue to live my life to its fullest.

Growing with age, my current state has been constant migraines, but that won't stop me, nor my prostate issues. I am here till the end, shouting out loud! Live to your fullest, good or bad! The Creator has given you a life to go forward, so fight for it no matter what. Keep pushing, just be careful for what you wish for. It may come true.

Be inspired for I have been inspired 🌠🦅, I am greatful on this journey. Therefore sending out love and prayers. And remember, stay safe, be love and keep walking your path.

Coming back to Treaty 4 is a manifestion of a past life. I must have been a trapper, hunter, or better yet, a worrior fending off colonizers. However, the cause, I am certain my elder spirit roamed these lands. I express my gratitude with a pic on indigenous territory. Driving on the Louis Riél Trail HWY 11. And posing with an old friend✊🏾🌎

My final destination! At the first, "FashioNATIVE" event in Regina, SK, organized by . Kinanâskomitin for the awesome invite.

Short but sweet, I had the privilege of being in the scared circle of mighty indigenous vendors. Here's their IG handle. Watch out for their amazing work. They all rock with style, remember to give a like and follow. Remember! Christmas is just around the corner. Let's all show support by shopping indigenous entrepreneurs.
