Join us at KOSU this Sunday, April 29 @ 5 pm for a live stream broadcast of myself being interviewed by host Julie Watson. This weekly program of creative personal profiles in the Red Dirt Country of Oklahoma, combines conversation linked with favorite musical selections and some chat about such tunes.

Pictured L-R are The Red Dirt Ranger himself John Cooper, 

Jim Halsey, Scott Bell, Minisa Crumbo and Julie Watson.

Broadcast from the heart of the Brady Arts District in Tulsa, Oklahoma ... home to galleries, eateries, the fabulous Guthrie Green and Woody Guthrie Museum, the renowned Cain's Ballroom, take in a baseball game @ one oak field, drop in to view art at the Gilcrease and Philbrook Art Centers, check the BOK event Center for a concert offering, visit a wonderful chocolatier and eat them out of a sack while strolling, seek out the fiddle shop and archive, there are music and water hole opportunities galore. Book a room, keep the car parked and spend a weekend ... even plan a day trip to the Pioneer Woman Pawhuska Mecca and an area casino.

That's what we're talking about!

Go TULSA!

Today is a Universal Burn Day

Greetings,
As each person has a personal Mayan Calendar burn day according to birth date so there are four quarterly Universal dates and today, 4 Oc, dog, is one of those.

The burn days are designated as sacred opportunities by which to purify and release personal and societal concerns and burdens that may have accumulated in the last quarter and before.

Make an offering of tobacco to the fire being sometime in the burn. Building, tending and feeding fires of this sort contribute to cleansing the community. Light a candle, strike a match or just think it, if you are not able to physically build a fire.

This is good personal and collective ceremony to observe as this new season of summer is initiated.

Blessings,
Dawn Woman

Earth Day Feast 2018

Good times,

Many thanks and much gratitude to you and our beautiful Mother Earth, our Father Sky/Sun and the directional powers ... for the bounty and fellowship that gives meaning and beauty to our precious lives and the lives of all others who might be in need of your blessing touch this day.

Our love, 

Minisa and Jim

From the Bodewadmin Longhouse at the Spirit Horse Ranch ... be visible and be breathed ... all ways, all days, now and forever more. Kiche migwech Creator for ALL of the gifts.

It is a good day ... mno gishget!

Bozho jayek, greetings … everyone of the immediate and extended Circle of Life …

We see the welcoming corn people stand in the spring showers and winds of the Bemadzewin (Longhouse) ... peony shares are in the ground, thank you Anna ...while arugula, chard and collards are listening to the thunder beings speak them alive. Two new sassafras trees are spreading their roots in the gardens ... the strawberries are blooming. The green beings and our inner green beings initiate another growing season in beauty and harmony! We have sat in and completed another winter of the seed setting ceremonies ... and prepare to begin anew! AHO!

Earth Day (April 22) also marks the first day of summer by the natural calendar so, pull on the gloves and work boots for tending the new things. Blessing posts will be renewed, painted and set in the four directions. Plant a special plant or seed of choice. Rachel's ashwaganda seeds are standing by for warmer weather.

Thank you, Carol, for the chicken and noodle dish and your lavender/rose water cloud cookies. The cheese round with chutney relish and Chef Nobu salad/dressing was fresh and tasty. Thank you Olmos/Brewer clan for yet another glorious fruit tart to mark and celebrate our collective birthdays into another MC 260 day human gestational creation cycle ... thank you, Debra for the daily jaguarspirit.com contributions ... kiche migwech, you old orphan Martin Prechtel for SECRETS OF THE TALKING JAGUAR and other titles (recommended reading).

Through these things and many others, known and unknown, spoken and unspoken … we, and our seeds of peaceful intention, are 'breathed alive' once again!

Many thanks to all ... for your enduring beauty and breathed contributions to life that life might truly be lived 'in a good way', now and forever more.

The new sun comes …
Bama mine ... see you soon ...

Corn Husk Doll Frame at Sunrise

In Spirit We Must Always Stand Visible ...

Good morning All,

This day, seven days, now 9, after the Corn Husk Dolls came together, I am requesting a pic of your Corn Husk Dolls for a photo gallery to be shared with the group. You may include your name with the doll(s) if you like.

The Greater Tulsa Indian Art Festival photo op frame is almost finished ... will send it on to the others. It is a sacred project ... bringing the Spring Seed renewal forward ... and seeing how each one of us are presenting, preparing for the brave and mysterious faces to sprout, manifesting originality and beauty.

Many thanks,

Grandmother
