We have MILLIONS. Millions of mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers-we need to honor, listen, embrace and live our collective wisdom. We know.

[@americanancestors7969]

What an honor to read this!! I would believe what I share uplifts, opens the doors within the Navajo culture & traditions so you as the general public can walk in, sit down & truly hear the raw Dine' information from a real Navajo, Dine' woman, Grandma. It's vital to understand one another. Communication reality. Love & massive hugs for your respect. I so appreciate you. Hugs! Navajo Grandma

Ok smarty pants, I didn't say this and I wanted to. I hate it when my subscribers say things I should have. Just kidding, but you are right, how beautiful and how lovely this sounds in Dine' Bizaad. Thank you so much!!! Navajo Grandma

I love this song too! I keep replaying

[@NavajoGrandma]

Hi there Debra, I love this song and it has always brought peace, beauty, balance and harmony to my mother who was sickly. She prayed always and now she is home with God and she is definitely walking in beauty, eternal peace, Godly balance and harmony. You can't ask for greater. Love and hugs my dear Debra.

Thank you Jan. How sweet!! Navajo Grandma

[@ruthschrager6052]

Hi dear grandma, sorry it took so long for me to reply. I often struggle with energetic sensitivity. I have searched many different practices but some work better than others. I am an energy worker. Or I'm learning how to carry and flow energy. I am reminded that I am only flowing out gods energy. Thank you also for th I s video. That's a great love and marriage st o ry. In a Jewish wedding, the brides face is c o vered also. I like the s o ng your mother sang. Thank you for sharing! Much love and peace! Ruth 💖

[@NavajoGrandma]

My dear Ruth you are multi-talented!! What else will you pull out of your hat?? I never heard this from you and that is what we are all made of "energy and what helps and blesses us or can ruin our health, mind and strength. I had a woman do Reki on me and she didn't even touch my back and she could knock me out. Not really but she could do things with energy that healed me so often. She moved away and I haven't found another who had such faith and energy to give. It is marvelous!! I love you Ruth!! So darn proud of you and how talented you are. Wow!! Hugs from Navajo Grandma

[@deanna1589]

Navajo Grandma, you look so beautiful, today. 🌹 The elders in this video are so precious. I’m so happy your parents found each other.

[@NavajoGrandma]

Thank you for your comment of loving Hozho. How kind. Yes, I love how my parents met, such a fun crazy emotional wreck Mom was but she ended with her love. Awesome. Happy thoughts. Navajo Grandma

[@aletheafelton]

I am late in watching this video but this is a beautiful story! My parents have been married 46 years. They were college friends and classmates but NEVER dated during college. Once they graduated, they both had breakups with other people. My mom kept in touch with her classmates via letter writing about a year or two after college, and my dad was one of the friends she wrote. Although they lived in different states, Daddy made the effort to visit Mommy and he said when he saw her, he knew he wanted to be with her and marry her. The rest is history.

[@NavajoGrandma]

If you aren’t perfect in answering, Wow, this is the response I wanted from everyone. How their parents met and all the information from their perspective. As I explained we all have differing perspectives at different ages, height, maturity etc. You did so well and thank you for being wonderfully receptive! Love it. Hugs. Navajo Grandma

[@h1ghd3s3rt]

Yes, we will. We walk in beauty. We walk in peace. We are mothers.

[@NavajoGrandma]

Wow when reading this it brought me chills and joy. I love the way you mirrored what grandma said. I love that! That is called Hozho. The medicine men who do the ritual is called Hozhojii. I pray you walk in beauty, peace, balance and harmony this day and always. Remember you matter and are loved here even if it is online. Your worth is greater than everything in and on this earth and more. Happy thoughts. Amen. Navajo Grandma

I'm from southern NM & I am glad you shared this topic! It started as a sad beginning & ended with such a joyful, happy ending! Your story of your parents wedding day would make such a delightful children's book to read. In our present times, young children are going through this from a different perspective of gaining a new step parent on a wedding day. Thank you Navajo Grandma!

[@NavajoGrandma]

So well said, I have been told so many times to write books and we shall see is all I say. My life is not ready for that yet but I am seeing why I need to. Hugs to you and thank you for your wisdom. Hugs. Navajo Grandma

[@magicalhealerclairvoyant521]

What a glorious tribute to the walk of our mother’s before us and their journey of love. It is truly a gift you bring in song, the heart of the nurturing mother. The Medicine Man, the ability to see and hear. Brilliant to bring in the walk of women in end times. You look beautiful today sister... with much love ✨💖✨

[@NavajoGrandma]

Wow you picked the characters with the spiritual strengths that were needed in this story. I love how you put your comment together. History and stories of our mother's love is always enchanting and lovely. It gives us hope to find love and happiness. Their examples were sobering especially my Medicine Man Maternal grandfather who expressed, "we didn't like each other for years, then one day she was gone, I worried, she wasn't returning soon enough, I thought to myself, hey I don't like this woman I was forced to marry. Then darkness came and his heart panicked. Later in the night she knocked on the door, he opened the door, he had tears in his eyes, he wept and grabbed her, held her and told her thru his tears he loved her and missed her plus he was horribly worried about her. He said he even thought she wasn't coming home. She was delighted and she said (my grandma) she was so moved that he loved her. Now how many men feel this way. Gpa did that one day. It was hard marrying him. He never showed his love to me. One day the same thing happened and he too did the same thing. I was shocked and now he calls and calls me if I am 30 minutes late. sometimes I tell him I have left and on a plane to Japan. LOL!! He always laughs and says come on home I miss you. I said one day what if I do get on a plane, he said, I don't think so. We are weird like siblings kind of, not lovers, we just are able to deal together with life and good things happen. Ok enough You are probably thinking goodness grandma, too much. LOL! Love and hugs to you from Navajo Grandma

[@Burtraw13]

I laughed thinking of how she reacted to daddy telling me the story in Navajo and some in English. I sure miss them. But I am here yet to share this with you all.

Happy Mother's Day Navaho Grandma! Thank you for sharing such a sweet love story! I'm glad your parents were already in love. That's truly a blessing!❤ My grandfather fought in WWII. Was your father a code talker? My grandfather told stories about them. A codetalker helped them rescue some people and children from an orphanage by using code talk to keep their mission secret.

[@NavajoGrandma]

junocomm yes my dad was a Code Talker. He did not want the pomp and circumstance thing and stayed away from the ones who gloated in what they did in WWII. My dad gave his gratitude to God for protecting him and saving his life countless times, he was a gunner who after he had his honorable discharge re-enlisted and went to protect the Code Talkers. He was the one who ended up with the flag they did not hoist up on the pole. He went back and all his code talker friends were so grateful as my dad was more than a sharp shooter. He was amazing. My Nali was also a sharp shooter. Amazing men. Wow I wonder if my dad knew your grandfather. I would not be surprised. What wonderful men and all that writing that my dad did in short hand was amazing in Navajo. He was so fast and perfect with his hand writing, he had amazing penmanship that many were amazed at. What good men we have in our lives. Happy comment and thank you so much!! Navajo Grandma

[@barbg3798]

@@NavajoGrandma It is all of us that thank you for being our grandma. Seriously you remind me of my own grandma. Growing up we seen my grandparents twice a year at my great-grandfather's house which was 1/2 way between where we lived and she lived actually. I know how my parents met - mom had gunk on her face, hair up in the old cloth curlers when my dad showed up to visit my uncle. My parents talked for about an hour - then wrote back and forth for a year. My dad was stationed in Morocco at the time. He got leave and had a choice to make - marry the young lady his mom wanted him to marry or marry my mom on 3 day leave - he choose the later. His mom didn't want him to marry my mom because my mom was part native and she was well to put it nicely - wanting to keep the bloodline pure. So the 6 of us kids never really got along with that grandma - just my mom's mom.

[@NavajoGrandma]

@@barbg3798 Barb what a beautiful but a sad twist to it. It is quite a normal story too. Many women were not accepted. My ex mother in law did not like hispanic women being in East Los Angeles, California. So when my ex brother in laws brought their hispanic fiance's home, guess what she did, she literally threw them out of the house. She was Japanese. Luckily before I met her I had a dream seeing here standing by a fireplace in her house and how she welcomed me, hugged me, my father in law being at the doorway and how loving and kind he was. Soo that very day, there was only happiness in my heart cuz she could have believed I was hispanic. She knew I was Navajo Indian. She did as in my dream and we loved one another and I served her and wept when we moved, she was my heart and my joy. I still love her as my mother in the spirit world. An amazing woman. That is why my children are Japanese Hawaiian and Navajo Indian. Yes, there are things that happen in our lives and because of race our relationships are dirtied. But because this happened, you make sure you are welcoming and loving, kind and remember as you pray you always love others. It is up to us to change the past of our family members. WE make the improvements and allow back then how lives were lived, though not good sometimes, but we need to shed that and make great memories. Write your grandma no matter if she hates you, write to her and share your heart, your love and missed many years of relationships. How her grandchildren are progressing. Let her send them back or throw them in the trash can, it is your goodness that counts. What do they say, Pray for your enemies and do good to them that hate and despise you. This counsel comes from God. Then it is right. I don't expect you to drive and walk into her life, write to her and let it go. You are a good woman and a great mother I can tell. Don't let the past ruin your relationships and boy I know for myself, it is not easy. Pray for strength. Sending my prayers of strength and love. Great comment sweetheart. Navajo Grandma

@@NavajoGrandma I would have to do like the Chinese do in that matter. Write a letter and let the smoke carry it to them. All of my grandparents have passed, my mom's mom passed 1 month after I got back from overseas. I lived in Jakarta for about 7 years. My son has been introduced to family and unfortunately he suffered the same that I got from my dad's mom. Most of my siblings just ignore him because he is Chinese. My mom's side of the family accepted him with open arms. Even a great uncle would watch him after school until I got home from work. I have told him that it's the feeling in your heart that makes you family not blood. He has lots of adopted brothers and sisters now in Colorado where he lives. They see him for who he is - a funny introverted young man who loves the times they spend together doing things they all love to do (comic con). Couldn't be prouder of the young man he has become actually. He has 2 half siblings and they contact him from time to time. His own father hasn't spoke to him since he was 8 yrs old - so 25 yrs now. Thankfully, my late husband was his dad when he really needed one and never looked at him differently.

[@sharonedwards7619]

First, a belated Happy Mothers Day to you. So enjoyed your telling of your parents meeting and their wedding. A new fact I have learned through your sharing. Arranged marriages. My father’s family and ancestors did that as well. My fathers parents came from Italy to the US in 1907 for a fresh start. My father was the youngest of 6 children. All married the person chosen for them… except my father. That was the last of arranged marriages for any future generations. Best wishes to you and your family. ❤️🙏❤️

[@NavajoGrandma]

What a beautiful comment SHARON. I share, you shared too. What a wonderful way of learning from one another. Yes, arranged marriages seem daunting, yet every person I met say it is the greatest loving strong marriage they have had thanking their parents, grandparents and the matchmakers for more than encouraging some say forced, but in the end the true happiness and bounties of love and children brought greater joy had they found their own choices. Still glad we have choices. Can’t blame no one for mistakes. Thank you for watching and commenting. You bring me joy. Navajo Grandma

Adrienne, its good to hear from you. I am praying for you for healing sweetheart. Thank you for taking the time to watch this wonderful Navajo love story about my parents. I loved hearing about how they met and how my mother giggled and how dad loved that reaction from her. I sure miss them so. Thank you for wishing me a Happy Mother's Day and back at you, if you have a Motherhood as all women do, for siblings, neighbors, for strangers, and our own children and even some times a mother to our spouses. LOL! Sometimes I tell gpa, I am your mother not your wife. I am sure many wives have felt the same. LOL again. I hope your situation gets better whatever it maybe. I will have gpa give you a blessing and to pray you do heal and move forward in your life strong and healthy. Remain positive, pah pah pah, if you have seen that video on smudging. Roll that negative energy out of you. Scientifically it has been proven our bodies are made of energy and vibrations. Thus we give our body foods, water, etc that enforce that good vibration to help us heal and prayer being one on the highest list. The energy you can move from your torso to the crown of your head and out and we Dine' say pah pah pah. Its a releasing word that means get out and stay out. Ruffle that energy from your arms out and from your torso down thru your feet. That is what medicine men do. It is necessary and I pray you will heal from whatever besets you sweetheart. You are needed here and loved in our Navajo Grandma family, no matter if it is online. You are wonderful and loved. Remember this and hope that gives you hope to determine to heal. Pray always my dear Adrienne. Healing hugs. Navajo Grandma

[@adriennesisco9651]

Thank you and God Bless both you and Navajo Gpa! I am always asking God to lift this dark shadow of health from me. It seems like when one thing starts healing, another issue arises. I absolutely believe we all need positive vibes within us. We humans are constantly under attack, from both physical realms and supernatural realms. We also have a role in keeping ourselves as healthy as possible. As for the rest, I am giving it to the Holy Ones in prayer.

[@NavajoGrandma]

@@adriennesisco9651 Grandpa prayed fervently for you. As I always ask him to do this. It is a special prayer and I am praying for your health too. As I am feeling some issues like never before too, I keep my faith in God, I share my true thoughts about that and He is healing me and I do my part. I love my relationship with God and we talk a lot in prayer. Kneeling down is sometimes hard for some but when I kneel on my knees with deep respect, I swear He answers my prayers so immediately and so deeply and quickly. Its like this reverence is felt in Heaven and honored. Few get on their knees with respect. I love you and pray for you. Healing hugs. Navajo Grandma

[@esmeraldapooner751]

I love this story, and the wedding decorations on the hogan wall(blankets) Happy mother's day.

[@NavajoGrandma]

Esmeralda a love story is always moving to the heart and soul. It was so wonderful to hear this from my parents and my Mom giggling the entire time, I can't believe how she acted like a teenager in love again. She said it was a great memory. I think it was awesome. Gpa was so dull now that I made this video. He would tell me "I know you will marry me because it is up to God." Well I promise it wasn't romantic, it was serious and a fat miracle to have God have me accept His will and we got married. That story is crazeeeee! Well here is a hug from Navajo Grandma. Great comment!

Happy Mother's Day, Navajo Grandma and thank you for sharing such a wonderful family story. 😍

[@NavajoGrandma]

Well I pray you had a wonderful Happy Mother's Day. We ate with our son and had a lovely day spent together. My other son said he had a hawaiian lei for me but we had to leave town and never got it. Its the thought that counts and I know that lei was not cheap. Sad but I appreciated it more than anything. Happy Mother's Day. Trying to put our lives back together. Motherly Hugs to you beautiful women there in Montana. Navajo Grandma

You know it would I have thought of that. I was amazed that my father was Mr. Personality and my Mother Mz Shy. Goodness when daddy and her told the story, my giggled to bits. I loved to hear them tell this to me as a child. I just laughed and was surprised how daddy just walked away, got on his horse and never came back for a month and a half because he knew the date when he would become her husband leaving my mother in heart shreds. It is a lovely story. Thank you for watching and being receptive. Hugs from Navajo Grandma

I don’t have a sweet story like that my husband’s military service kept us from planning a ceremony since his leave dates kept changing. Would it be appropriate to have a traditional ceremony still? He wants to plan something for our 10yr anniversary but I’d like to do a traditional ceremony…

They always brought me back to their meeting place to go camping every year amongst the giant Sequoias. I hope you had a wonderful Motherʼs Day. I have to say your outfit is exquisite as always, but I always love how your turquoise shines out with velvet. What is that red stone in your necklace???? Its beautiful!! I love the song you sang..... Can you tell us more about it?

[@NavajoGrandma]

First of all you have such an excitement that hit me like a hug. Your personality shines thru as you have such a pure child within you so inquisitive as I see why you are so learned. Love it. The Navajo call this red black rock necklace black corral. I have never seen such until now. So it complimented this dress and I bought it from a Navajo woman. So happy about our parents stories of love. Romance is lovely isn’t it? I love your soul and wonderful spirit! Hugs as always. Navajo Grandma

[@jandunn169]

@@NavajoGrandma It was a hug!!!! Black coral!!! Interesting It looked gorgeous and your turquoise always shines. I have been into amber lately because it reminds me of bees and pollen but I wear my turquoise too, of course. I used to wear velvet a lot in Colorado but here in Hawaii it is pretty muggy.

[@NavajoGrandma]

@@jandunn169 Sorry I didn't answer sooner. But yes that black red coral was something I had never seen before. Also I love amber as it is gorgeous on my brown velveteen outfits. I also know what you mean about wearing velvet in the islands its not the type to wear. But you can on a cool evening only and maybe. How muggy it gets its Yulk.

Its funny I was singing it as best I can as I walked along the beach today monitoring monk seals with my roomate. But I donʼt know what the words mean. ʼ Shee na sha, shee na sha...

@@jandunn169 Well Jan this song Shi Naasha is a song of "walking toward whatever you sing. My mother was always walking toward Hozhojigo, "I am walking toward "peace, beauty, balance and harmony." I do understand why she sang this as she was sickly. But she sang it so beautiful, sometimes she used her fingernails that she rubbed together to make a sound that kept time. It was so beautiful. I hope you know now what Shi Naasha means. Hugs. Navajo Grandma

[@Iam_Celene]

@@NavajoGrandma yes it is beautiful the more I think about it. We were both in special ed together we struggled in school but I saw him at my grocery store I work at and we exchanged numbers and we decided to give it another chance. We were talking and we both are waiting for the right person and I just want that relationship to be special and shared with someone I care deeply about and who cares about me and he said “I’m totally gonna wife you up” 😊😍 were both saving money but it will happen in due time. He tells me he always remembers how nice I was to him and wanna be that support system for him and he said the same for me too. We were thinking about just having a small ceremony and inviting immediate family and very close friends and even some teachers. Our little town only has 4,900 people so it’s very small. I actually broke up with him in middle school but we remained friends and I told him I should’ve never left you and he said “it was middle school Celene” and not to be tmi but we actually remained virgins which makes that relationship extra special. I was thinking about our wedding song and we were thinking the song forever young by alphaville 🥰 I wanna take care of him the rest of his life 💖

Hello Grandma.. I had a dream last night. I was at a pow wow and a brave came up to me, very good looking man, and gave me the biggest and most beautiful fan. Made of the most beautiful white giant feathers and beads. I've never seen anything so beautiful. Then he just walked off. Another man cam up to me and says that if I wanted to keep it later I would have to dace later for it. I couldn't give it back to the brave until then, for he disappeared. As I'm carrying it around other women tell me how lucky I was to be gifted such a beautiful fan. I keep carrying it n it starts to fall apart. I take it to someone who could fix it and he tell me it is falling apart beautiful I was already married. I found the man who gave it to me and he told me the only way he'd take it back is if I dance for him privately. I dance what was in my heart. I ended up bonding the brave to me,but he never told me..... Then I wake up.

[@NavajoGrandma]

Oh bummer what a dream, the ending was well, a downer. Oh well, it was a dream and you at least danced for him and hope it wasn't dirty dancing LOL!! Just kidding. What a dream and the white feather sounds so beautiful. I always say, if you held it and appreciated it, one day it will be yours. My mother's counsel. I have always received what I held in my hand and what I tried on. So I hope you get that white feather fan. You can loan it to grandma now and then, hee hee!. Love you and great comment.
