BUTTERFLY RELEASE


 Baby Brother Ross

gets his college diploma

are you like Ross?
life got in the way of reaching your goals?
ups and downs and ins and outs
life happenings that put things on hold that don't seem important when life is happening

and then

there is a time and a place
and suddenly and easily
(NOT)
the goal is met

and so like at every normal graduation there is a celebration
where you have 

a Choctaw mother, a Navajo drummer and a bossy big sister
to bring it all to the real side

your celebration includes
Indian fry bread, a prayer drumming and a monarch butterfly release

whisper a wish, release the butterfly and know
that quirkiness in a family

is worth celebrating!

yay Rossie....you are what it is all about today...my butterfly wish?

for all your dreams to come true!!!

A big high-five to your brother! It is a grand accomplishment. I went back as an adult student and graduated at 38. It is so sweet to apply yourself and reach that goal when you make the sacrifice. Beautiful pictures!

GINA! How beautiful this is! First of all, you are Native American? HOW GORGEOUS IS THIS! And your brother, what an inspiration, and I know this first hand. I didn't go back to college until I was 34. Spend 17 years on my B.A., M.A. and two teaching licenses. I'm going into my 13th year of teaching. Where does the time go? Reaching. Your brother will not stop reaching, in fact, nobody should stop reaching for those butterflies....bless him. BLess YOU and your household! Thank you for stopping by! Anita

Finished my BS at 30, my MS at 40 and my PhD at 55 so why not go back to school. How old will you be when you DON'T graduate?
