We've all heard stories of ancestors, who were grounded in faith and steeped in tradition. To most of us, these were nothing more than stories. This however, is the age of technology and the 'now generations' are without limits. If you can dream it, you can do it We routinely travel the globe in jets. We email and text without hesitation and expect nanosecond response times. We are contemporary and cosmopolitan - unbound and unencumbered by antiquated traditions. But, have we really escaped? Are we that far removed from ancestral spirits? Are there any gaps in our lives that must be bridged before we successfully cross over into the next chapters from the book of life? This is one story in response to these questions. The spirits of my tribal ancestors combine with my present-day family to powerfully guide me to success as an aspiring American woman. Unbelievable joy, despair, educational and personal opportunities are literally right at my fingertips. Share my journey while once again, I continue 'Bridging the Gaps.'
