New Heavenreader

In a recently-written Heavenletter, God speaks of simplicity. At the same time, a new Heavenreader subscribed who exemplifies simplicity and the great value God sets on it. Simple is humble, isn't it?

First Doreen Spence wrote to the general inquiry place Heaven Admin has provided:

I loved Gloria's compelling letter and wanted to say thank you. I am a traditional healer and thus I felt an immediate kin to Gloria. I also watched the video.

Of course I explained that Heavenletters are not mine!  I take dictation from the One Who whispers them.

Then Doreen wrote:

I am from the Cree nation here in Alberta, Canada.

I am so blessed to have been raised by my grandparents who were very spiritual and special indigenous people.  My granny was the medicine woman for our area. My grandfather would be known as an animal whisperer, if he was alive today.

Like most indigenous people, I also believe that we have a sacred connection to Mother Earth.

That we are all related, which would be the four-legged, winged ones, the ones that swim and the ones that fly.

We are brothers and sisters after all. With Indigenous knowledge there is much wisdom.  We, the two-legged beings, are here to have physical experience and transcend into more enlightened beings.

These are such exciting times to be alive!

With much respect and love,

And then Doreen wrote more, all with the majesty of simplicity:

My Spirit chose this Indigenous body so it could learn the deepest lessons of life.

I must give gratitude for all those who supported my path along the way.

I have learned forgiveness at the deepest level. I now share my culture and traditions with many non- indigenous.

I find this so healing for all those involved.

I leave for the sacred site of Writing on stone (near the Sweet grass hills) on Friday.

I am taking six adults on a vision quest and I must say I am looking forward to this event.

Thank you, my Beloved

Isn't this sentence of Doreen's I repeat below like poetry:

I leave for the sacred site of Writing on stone (near the Sweet grass hills) on Friday.

How I, Gloria, wish I knew a simple beautiful way like that to announce a Godwriting workshop!

Now, I would like to tell you what Doreen has contributed to the world. I got this from Google:

Doreen Spence, indigenous woman from Cree Nation in northern Canada

Born of Cree ancestry in Northern Alberta, Doreen Spence has represented her people and the values by which they live in an effective and exemplary manner for the past thirty-five years. Drawing on her own experiences as an Indigenous woman as well as from those peoples across the world, Doreen is capable of addressing any issue that impacts the Aboriginal community. The majority of her time is dedicated to performing volunteer work in Native and Non-Native communities with a consistent emphasis on Aboriginal issues and concerns. Doreen’s main goal is to build an understanding between all Nations.

Between speaking engagements and her responsibilities as Executive Director for the Canadian Indigenous Women’s Resource Institute, Doreen still manages to find time to offer her wisdom to many local, national and international organizations. In particular, the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations which holds an annual conference in Geneva, Switzerland. In 2002, she was requested to provide assistance to the Slovakian government with regards to their relationship with the Roma people.

Doreen’s work in the field of human rights and the protection of fundamental freedoms for her people is unsurpassed in terms of historical and social content; clarity and effectiveness of presentation; in-depth knowledge of various Indigenous cultures and her empathy with the people for whom she works. In Canada, she has been active in the Alberta Civil Liberties Association Committee Against Racism, served as President of the Plains Indian Cultural Survival School Society for seventeen years and been appointed Secretary of the Dignity Foundation, a human rights organization.

Internationally, she has worked with the Maasai people at a school in Africa and taken training in conflict resolution with UNITAR. In 2004, her contributions to human rights and conflict-resolution worldwide were recognized when she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Peace Prize.

I realize that, along with humility and simplicity, Doreen sees blessing. She has gratitude and not one word of complaint. Complaint cannot exist along with humility and simplicity.

God bless you, Doreen Spence.
