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.
Please stop to say “Hello” and share your thoughts.
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 sayed 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 on line 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. Peace and blessings.
Hi Dennis,
Saw your site and wondered if you are one of my cousins.
Was your father’s name Henry and did you live in Walton Hills, Ohio.
Let me know.
Dennis is my brother, and the short answer is “yes.”
Beautiful poems and inspirational words. Thank you for this .
You’re very welcome, Julia, and thank YOU for stopping by!

Thank you for a most inspiring website. I accidentally came across it tonight whilst browsing the web. It is a virtual treasure trove of delight – some of the prose made me sad and some made me think more deeply about life and love. You obviously are a very gifted person, and I shall be back on this site more often. Kind regards, Walter Crawford
Walter, Thanks for your kind words. I’m pleased you found the site and hope you will visit often. Peace and blessings, Patricia

Hello Patricia, Your site is so calm and soothing. I especially enjoyed the Still Waters page in your Inspiration section. I am but a shell unless I can be near the lake. It lifts my spirits and gives me energy. Blessings.
