Amber Mujer by Artista Zipolita

Amber Woman! That's me. Ha! Ha! o Ja! Ja! Aqui en Mexico. This is my first Amber Carving. I want more!! Lots more. I want to be the Amber Woman/Amber Mujer and carve lots and lots of amber. It was fun! Tricky and a real learning process, from carving it to photographing it.

So grateful to my friend Stacy for gifting me with the amber and to the ancestors for helping me with the whole process. I also want to thank Tawx'sin Yexwulla /Aaron Nelson-Moody for sharing some of his  teachings and mentoring and enlightening me in carving and many other important things related not only to his Coast Salish culture and mine but other things in regards to Indigenous issues, Ceremonies, Reconciliation and Women and Children and opening my eyes where I was blind. Also thank to Shane Pointe for sharing all his beautiful words and teachings.  Gracias to Xwalacktun & Yogui for inspiring me and thank you to everyone especially all the beautiful WOMAN/MUJERS who have supported, inspired and loved me through this learning/healing process and my journey.

Breaking Free [FULL] from Matador Network on Vimeo.


http://matadornetwork.com/breaking-free/

Harnessing the power of the Matador Network, the world’s largest independent travel community, BREAKING FREE explores the lives of real-life Americans who have dared to live their dreams.

Ditching routine, comfort zones, and their own personal fears, they have sought and found vibrant, purpose-driven lifestyles to inspire viewers of all ages.

Filmed in diverse locations around the world, each hour-long episode investigates how these remarkable people started over, understanding the unique challenges, goals and passion that allowed them to follow their heart.

BEFORE NOMINATING A CANDIDATE

We’re looking for candidates who:

* have broken out of the regular 9-5 lifestyle are living abroad in a foreign country

* have established a business, project, or something cool in their cities/community

* are an inspiration to everyone they meet

We are NOT looking for people who are simply traveling abroad. We want to learn the how and why someone takes the leap, and how they’ve learned to overcome their challenges and really establish themselves in another community.

Wow! What this guy says at the beginning about his grandfather having missed out on things and feeling he could have done so much more. Powerful!  and the part where the woman says she wants to experience more with her child, those two notes really touch home with me. This is nomination thing for Americans, but one day I hope it will be this Canadian- traveling, writing, exploring, sharing, enjoying life in the moment. Rich in time, not money.
