Seeing The Light Through
The Heart Of An Indian: An Interview With Frank DeContie
by Carol Bedrosian
I first met Frank DeContie and his wife Sandra at our very first Harvest
Gathering in 1997. Frank is an Algonquin ceremonial medicine keeper from
Kitigan Zibi Reserve in Maniwaki, Quebec who received his teachings from
elders and speaks his native language. He is also a substance abuse
counselor and works in healing circles for people of all races. Frank is
the first native person I have come to know who lives in a native
community on a reserve, a life experience which has long disappeared from
the landscape of many places in America, and from which we have much to
learn with regards to the spiritual evolution of humanity and the healing
of our planet.

A Resolution Method That
Works
by Nisandeh Neta
At the end of
each year, it is traditional to make a New Year's Resolution. With such "agreements", we
commit ourselves to resolving
personal issues, yet more often than not, fail to keep these commitments. The concept in itself is a good one: to make an assessment of our lives,
to contemplate what we wish to modify during the following twelve months,
and then making a commitment to that change.

Intimacy And
Consciousness: Tantra As A Way of Life
by Sohini Genevieve and Carlo Pati
Relationship for us means we
love ourselves, we honor each other's unique individuality and we enjoy
ourselves. We support each other to experience wholeness in the present
moment. Bottom line we stand for consciousness and intimacy. When you
commit to life partnership and to honoring each other's individuality, be
prepared to be challenged with each other's acts of individuality. They
exist to call you to love your partner as much as you love yourself and to
love yourself as much as you love your partner.

Where Dead Voices Gather
by Nick Tosches
Many years ago, I wrote a book called Country.
Two of the chapters closest to its heart were devoted to the mystery of
Emmett Miller, whose startling and mesmerizing music seemed to be a
Rosetta Stone to the understanding of the mixed and mongrel bloodlines of
country and blues, of jazz and pop, of all that we know as American music.

Want to end the year feeling great? Here is a way you can
double your joy this holiday season: 1) Give your friends a copy of
this heartwarming book to add life-lessons, laughter and love into
their lives as a gift for the New Year; and 2) Your donation will benefit the kids at
Children's Hospital Boston.
Complete with an attached crayon,
this year's addition of For The Children will melt your heart
and tickle your funny bone with its short stories, anecdotes,
humorous essays and thoughts—all for the benefit of Children's
Hospital Boston (100% of proceeds are donated). This week's
quotation by Mother Theresa (see below) is just one of the treasures you will find in this
book.
Many charities are receiving less
this year due to the focus on September's tragedies. Since it is the
season to give, please dig a little deeper to help out this
wonderful benefit. This book has been created by our friend Jordan
Rich from the Jordan Rich Show
on WBZ News Radio 1030 in Boston. Only a $20 donation per book. Make
checks payable to Children's Hospital and send to Jordan Rich c/o
WBZ, 1170 Soldier's Field Road, Boston, MA 02134.
Happy Holidays,

Favorite Quotations |
Words
Of Mother Theresa
"People are often
unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you find serenity
and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today
people will forget tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the
world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give the world
the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final
analysis, it is between you and God. It never was between you and
them anyway."
