About Me

My photo
For me it is All About Being of Service & Living the Life of the Give-Away....

Being Mindful of those who are unable to speak for themselves; our Non-Two Legged Relations and the Future Generations.

It's about walking on the Canka Luta Waste Behind the Cannunpa and the ceremonies.

It's about Mindfulness and Respect. It's about Honesty and owning up to my foibles.

It's about: Mi Takuye Oyacin

Being Real: Me Being Myself

So here I am, and there you are....  You have become an inspiration to me... inspiring me into creative thought & verbiage.

I have a very keen sense of self and intuitive knowledge.  I see and know who people are, because I take time to observe what is not always obvious to the eyes & ears of others.

I take great pride in my work and what I do out in the world.  I actually care about others, not as a ruse to induce them into liking me (I am not a "charmer"), but as a warm heart.

I have worked at my career for over 32 years. Therefore I know what I am doing, I know policy and am able to explain it to others.  Should I choose to "bend a rule", it is not to make a person like me, but it is as either an act of charity or to stop an episode of ugliness from escalating. I know my job so well, that I can do it with my eyes shut... 

I take pride in my work, I do my best to make my work product neat, concise, attractive and in sync with official guidelines.  Should there be a mistake, I am quick to spot it and correct it, especially if it is one I myself made, for I dislike sloppy work. 


I am willing to help others with what ever job needs doing, because I do not like sitting idle and not accomplishing anything more than fanciful paperwork. I believe that if something needs doing and I have the time & knowledge, then there is no reason for me to not do the work, especially if the person whose job it is happens to be busy with another project.  I mean, really, what does it hurt me to work, even if it "isn't my job"? I'm getting paid to work, so I do.  

I do my best to make the place where I work open, warm & hospitable to the Community. I do my best to make the collection of materials fit the needs and interests of our customers.  I strive to keep our materials in very good, clean condition.

As a supervisor, I believe I should know every one of my staffs' job function and be able to take over for them at any given time in less than a second's notice.  I am more than willing to fill-in and handle any problem as it should arise.  I know to train the staff so that should I not be available, they know policy well enough to handle minor problems themselves with confidence and to ask for help when they encounter a larger problem.

 When I am too ill/hurt to work, I stay home.  If I am unable to work, why go to work and sit there doing nothing?  There is no point to sit and do nothing, for it then becomes about "Poor Me, Me, Me" and not about doing my job. If there is work I am able to do, I will happily do it.... I'm not going to sit & whine and have people feel sorry for me, or ask them to do my work.... I will find something I can do, and I will do it to the best of my ability or I will go home.

For the most part, I enjoy working with the people I work with....  For the most part, everyone does their best to make for a happy, comfortable, and welcoming place of business.

I understand that some people are envious of me... That they want to be like me. But they do not understand that part of what makes me who I am is that I have a very sound work ethic. I LIKE to Work. I Like to see that I have physically accomplished something. I like to see that my work is accurate and attractive. I like to be of service and provide accurate information as well materials of interest to our customers.  I Like making people Happy. In the end, it isn't about "Me,Me,Me" and the stroking of my ego, it Is About Being of Service to Others.


There is a saying I live and work by: In the end, your work in this lifetime will be measured on the scale of Creator. 

So that is about it for now........  If I have forgotten something, I'll be sure to come back and add it.
