One of the first things you discover when you put an inspirational website online, is that a lot of people will write to you. Many of the letters I receive are complimentary, praising the website and its content. Some are more specific, mentioning a section of the site or a poem the writer especially likes. Still others are intensely raw and personal from people who feel comfortable enough to confide and share their private thoughts and feelings. Mail is always welcome. I feel fortunate that there are so many interesting individuals who not only visit Inspiration for the Spirit, but also take the time to write.
Peace and Love always,
Patricia
Dear Patricia, congratulations for this beautiful and inspiring website!
I live in Italy but I’m deeply passionate of Lakota and First Nations peoples. Thank you so much for honoring and respecting them in your pages.
I’ll be back on your website again and again, thank you so much for sharing!

You are a beautiful soul, Patricia. Your work really inspires me. Keep up the good work!
Love your comment! It comes at a perfect time. Skies here are gray, threatening severe thunder storms. Your encouraging words are like sunlight streaming through the dark clouds. Thanks for that.
Thank you for your contribution to the light, love and creativity in our world. I found you through a beautiful lady who lives almost 8000 miles away with whom I share an email thread in 12-step recovery. Every encouraging word helps me to be freed from the darkness of the soul where I used to hang out.
Love,
Amy
What a beautiful comment! I love that you’ve found some encouraging words here and wish you all the best on your journey to recovery. Peace and blessings, Amy. Please stop by often!
I came upon your website when I searched for Anne Lamont On Aging. How do I subscribe?
Beautiful site and great information. The artwork is amazing as well. I just found out I am part Cree and wish I had my earlier life to learn more of the culture, but better late than never.
Hi Laura, Thanks for visiting and leaving your kind comment. I have no Native American blood in me, but I do feel a strong spiritual connection. That connection was strengthened after a road trip through Wyoming and South Dakota a while back. When time permits, I hope to write about it.
Hello, Firstly may I say I am very impressed with your site and being a lover of Native American traditions and ways of life I felt you were the right person to contact as I am trying to find a honest account of the story of the White Buffalo Calf Woman.
As being a medium and healer for over 40 years during the last several months during my meditations I have been taken to the Native American lands by my guide Standing Bear where he showed me the white buffalo in a translucent white cloud and then he showed me the calf woman and she said to me they are here to teach me peace, harmony, healing, and compassion to all those who come to me/spirit for healing.
So please could you recommend a book on the White Buffalo Calf Woman that in your opinion is true to factual as I have looked online but none seem to jump out at me so to speak.
Thank you for writing. Since the story about White Buffalo Calf Woman has been passed on by generations of the Lakota people, anything and everything written by a member of the Lakota is worth reading.
My source for information on White Buffalo Calf Woman was the book, The Sacred Pipe: Black Elk’s Account of the Seven Rites of the Oglala Sioux, recorded and edited by Joseph Epes Brown. The book starts with the story of White Buffalo Calf Woman’s first visit with the Lakota people. There are a lot of other books available. But the truth is, no matter who tells it, the story is always the same. Black Elk’s version was recorded years ago and is, in my opinion, as honest an account as you will find anywhere.
