I acknowledge the blessing I received on a daily basis as I am able to be present with my maternal grandmother. My 'masani' is my life. The things of she does in a day are so precious and sacred. Above all I am inspired by her act of constant 'adornment.' She unconsciously perpetuates the ritual of southwestern tribal 'Indigenous Adornment.' My grandmother is my muse, and therefore inspires all forms of my creative process'. Her story is my story, her "heart is my heart."

Bless.
