But I'm looking forward to living with all my heart and savoring moment by moment everything that for me represents love, hope and compassion by working in unity toward the act to preserve the precious gift of life and human dignity of these amazing people who have one of the most rich culture of the world!<br />May Linda, Joyce and all the volunteers at ANE be forever blessed for all their efforts and love in what they are doing...giving hope to the world!<br />Thank you again Cherie for sharing this life changing experience and encouraging more people in joining in the giving.Daniela Musolinonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1715851124778504703.post-22971778699907465652010-12-05T17:24:59.872-07:002010-12-05T17:24:59.872-07:00I'm so happy I was web surfing and became rein...I'm so happy I was web surfing and became reintroduced to Jay Tavare.A brilliant actor and even more brilliant human being.Thankfully because of listening to his interviews raising awareness of the many isses and problems the American Indian people have, I became are of this incredible program that exists.

Mrs Joe, your thoughts have been helpful in enlightening me about an unusual situation in my life. Thank you for taking time to share with me, as your words have been extremely beneficial. Anonymous, I sort of wrote a 'book' which was perused by an avid reader (now a hero of mine), so that is the best gift a writer could wish for and is the unltimate reward. Marsha, every day is a challenge, some more so than others. I'm going okay, strengthened by my time in the USA and persevering, no matter what comes my way, as challenges make me stronger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1715851124778504703.post-9872260656938888132010-11-17T12:16:05.852-07:002010-11-17T12:16:05.852-07:00I hope that you will be able to visit us again, so...I hope that you will be able to visit us again, so that those of us who didn't get the opportunity this time, can meet you then. You are a kind, giving, empathetic woman and the ADE program was blessed by your presence. I pray that you are doing OK with the challenges that you mentioned. Take care, and thanks for sharing. - MarshaMarsha Madsennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1715851124778504703.post-54821454391930975272010-11-16T09:52:09.713-07:002010-11-16T09:52:09.713-07:00You write beautifully, Cherie.

Your descriptive writing warmed my soul and helped me to realize that the world isn't as bad as it sometimes appears. Thank you so much for the time, funds, and your willingness to travel from your country to ours, to get acquainted with our Dine' people. Your assistance to shi chai doh shi'ma'suneh (my grandfather and grandmother-not my literal grandparents, but my way of showing respect to my elders) will be a blessing to you and yours for generations. I can say that because, I myself am Dine' (navajo). Our gratefulness is expressed in prayer; therefore, rest assured, you and yours have been lifted up to the Great Creator of this whole universe, for continual blessings. <br /><br />Thank you again! You don't realize how your selfless act, has blessed my soul.Mrs. Joehttp://ncnoreply@blogger.com
