Hi Matthew – It’s good to recognize your gift, and you’re honoring it by using it. Pete and I’ve tried hard with our kids to make them realize that not using their gifts is an affront to the Giver. I would love to visit the Maritimes. I’ve been bugging Pete for years that we should go up the coast from Boston and island hop. Someday!

Hi Cath – Yes, it’s really a great name, eh? When I sold real estate in the Lake Minnetonka area, we routinely had to pull an archeological waiver because of protected Indian burial mounds. A lot of big house deals do not go down,or you need to have a consecration ceremony. I think there is more strength in native spirituality, so it would stand to reason there would be a consequential effect. Thanks.

LOL Betsy - I read this earlier in the day and just came back to comment now. I was looking on Twitter when I was supposed to be working and I saw it. What a weird name for a guy. And that is really freaky how the town flooded. It does make you wonder doesn't it? I'm just reading a novel about folk wanting to build on an indian burial ground and all sorts of weird things are happening too. Cath Lawson´s last blog post..Barrack Obama - A Leader In Twitter Use

I imagine my hole in the day as my biggest source of inspiration - one that I can draw from for years to come. When I get this, I am suddenly transported to a whole new world. You should come see of the cities we have on the Maritimes. Wonderful sights and places there. Matthew Dryden´s last blog post..Who the Eff is Matthew Dryden?

Hi Steph – Another visual I get is rays of sun coming through openings in the clouds. I wonder if the ancients decided that was a message. But you’re right, we can get too caught up and then overlook. Thanks.

Hi Kathy – Isn’t it sad that we don’t know the half of history? I think growing up in Michigan the last state history class I had was in something like the 5th grade. Knowing these stories would have a grounding effect, yes? Thanks.

Hi Mary – Awww, shucks, Mare, you know I love you more! Without your encouragement and friendship, I would be far less. It means the world. Thank you.

“Ditto” on steph’s comments. I wonder whether my eyes are open for those gifts as well. I DO know, however, that you are one of my true inspirations, Betsy! I am happy that our lives intersected and that I noticed the gift of YOU back then. Love you!

It makes me sad that I had never heard of the story of Hole in the Day until today. My education is SORELY lacking!!! (By the way, he sounds a lot like he had a LOT in common with a president we had not so long ago!) Thanks for edumacating (intentional misspelling) me today!

I'm into the neat history lesson for sure, but I especially loved your questions at the end. They're something to ask myself every day. Am I looking for and seeing and open to opportunity and gifts and blessings? And will I waste them or respond?? steph´s last blog post..Perspective

Hi Dot – Thank you for coming by! It was fun to research and kind of sad that there wasn’t that much to find. I’ll be paying more attention to place names, and I’m glad this one memorializes these leaders.

Hi Jamie – Yes, that’s the imagery. Wonder what would happen if we could look in on our day having stepped out of it? I’ve always wanted to travel in time, so the name sparked a lot of daydreaming! Thanks.

Reminds me of a Wrinkle in Time, loved that book! Great post, Betsy. My dad was into American Indian history, always good to add another story! Jamie Simmerman´s last blog post..Getting Up Close and Personal
