Success is peace of mind which is
a direct result of self-satisfaction in
knowing you did your best to become
the best you are capable of becoming.

Photo: The Jaguar, Panthera onca, is a big cat, a feline in the Panthera genus, and is the only Panthera species found in the Americas. The jaguar is the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Western Hemisphere. The jaguar's present range extends from Southwestern United States and Mexico across much of Central America and south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. Apart from a known and possibly breeding population in Arizona (southeast of Tucson), the cat has largely been extirpated from the United States since the early 20th century.

I just received the most beautiful gift! The tears of gratitude are flowing. There is a group of wild turkeys living in Madison, Wisconsin. People have become very protective of them and enjoy watching their antics as they move around the east side. They even have their own page! Yesterday the Fab Four, as they are affectionately known, showed up in my backyard. Today when I came back from a walk they were in my driveway! They came right up by my door and stood about 3 or 4 feet from me while they ate and explored. The big tom was watching me and I told him, "If one of you would leave me a feather, I would be very honored. I would get you things that you like to eat. What would you like to eat?" He said, "Bugs." I said, "Oh, that might be hard. You are better at that than I am." he then reached down with his beak, pulled out a feather, looked me in the eye, and dropped it on the ground. When I picked it up there was a tiny drop of his blood on my finger. I started crying and said, "I will get you some bugs! Are crickets ok? " Looks like I'm off to the pet store today.

The term Elder also extends to our Mother Earth, Father Sun, brothers & sisters of the 4 & many legged, the finned & feathered, ancient trees, stones, mountains, and waters. Take a gift & share love when visiting sacred places. Deepen your connection by giving without asking for anything in return sometimes.

When visiting elders it is always nice to bring them a little something special... a gift. They have a wealth of knowledge and a lifetime of experience. Our aged ones deserve respect
