For Those Who Chose to Bury Their Hearts at Wounded Knee

Something about getting caught in the moment and creating something beautiful out of it has always been a high interest of mine.  One of the most interesting and meaningful times of my life was during a business trip while our organization traveled to North Dakota to deliver nearly 500 wrapped Christmas gifts to Lakota Native Americans pre-school students.  

Learning about the traumatic events between the Lakota and the United States during the Wounded Knee had given us a sense of heaviness in our hearts to see how the struggles still exists in the children on the Lakota reservation today so we had decided to visit the Wounded Knee battlegrounds the following day to pay our respects to all of the fallen heroes and to pray for the decedents who are still struggling to balance society and how to keep the Lakota lifestyle living.  

The next morning we witnessed wild horses running through the snow covered plains.  There was a big sign at the battle sight.  We then traveled across the road to the cemetery where all of the brave fallen Lakota heroes were buried.

The photo of the Wounded Knee Cemetery was taken by me last year in December by my cell phone to remind me to raise my daughter to be humble, to love and capture every moment because what we teach our children, will be carried on by them.

This is to confirm that I have created a google blogger account for my JRN105course at Central Michigan University online.  It was a little frustrating when setting my account up because a window popped up saying that I had to type in a code because the website had an error.  I am very new to google blogger and am still haven't minor difficulties in navigating the website.  Once getting the hang of everything, blogging seems like it would be an interesting hobby for many friends and family seek guidance from me from my words of wisdom.  I look forward to learning more about this website in how to connect to others.
