            | Prayers 
                  for Today
 I am amazed that the strength and tenacity of the riders and 
                  horses, but we have that Dakota blood that gives us the perseverance 
                  to live and to achieve our goals to have a good life. I offer 
                  prayers to give the riders peace of mind to know that they give 
                  encouragement to the world to be better human beings. Phidamayayapi 
                  to all the riders, for the horses and the helpers!

 I climb to 
                  a sacred place to offer prayer...Creator of the Universe, May all the Ancient Travelers Bless 
                  The Dakota 38 + 2 Riders with Healing, Wisdom and Vision to 
                  move forward in Peace and Love. Amen

                  D. JoshuaGloria, you and your helpers always do such an amazing job getting 
                  these posts of the daily ride out each day. I don't know how 
                  I stumbled onto your web site, but I have been following the 
                  memorial rides since that time. I have been making copies of 
                  the daily web pages and putting them in binders for the past 
                  3 memorial rides to look back on. After I watched the video, 
                  I always hoped to make a trip to Mankato to welcome the runners, 
                  riders and horses into Mankato. The last ride, my daughter asked 
                  me if I wanted to make a trip to Mankato and I jumped at the 
                  chance. I was thankful it was beautiful weather and not too 
                  much snow when we made the trip. We also had the pleasure of 
                  meeting Jim and Alberta Miller at that time. God's blessings 
                  to you all, stay safe.

 Thank you Gloria for your wonderful and hard work with this

                  of us.
 Many thanks to all admins and helpers who provide this group 
                  with information and organize it.
 Be all blessed and my prayers are with you.

 |  | Well it's 
                  Christmas Day 2021, and at this point I must say a huge THANK 
                  YOU, to my Admins who have had my back this year. They have 
                  been invaluable to me being able to get these pages out to you 
                  every day. They all know what to do without asking, and have 
                  got on with it. Added new members, answered questions where 
                  they could, and accepted posts for you to see.   I well remember 
                  the years, from 2008, when I did this alone, until eventually 
                  my family couldn't stand me being on the computer almost 24/7 
                  during this real busy, family oriented, time of the year. So 
                  I asked Lou and Cari to join me. Lou, from Iowa, I only knew 
                  from this group, and Cari had been an actual long-time friend 
                  to both myself and my late husband Chuck. She was with me when 
                  he passed and stayed with me for a week or so to give me time 
                  to get myself together, I will always be thankful for that breathing 
                  space she allowed me. I knew both of them would be good work 
                  colleagues, and I was right. Over the past few years I have 
                  added a few more people every year, and many of them have journeyed 
                  on down their road as their Spirit moved them to. I thank all 
                  of them for donating their time to this worthwhile Ride through 
                  the years. This year working alongside me as well as Lou and 
                  Cari are Tom, who lives close to Cari and Mankato, Rosetta, 
                  who lives in AZ, Marge, who is my neice, (Alice's daughter), 
                  and lives close to Pipestone, and my grand-daughter Jenny, also, 
                  like me in England, who is there to be my back up in case anything 
                  happens. I think we have all bases covered between us! By next 
                  year the names may have changed but that is all good. Well back 
                  to work, moving messages first from all of you, that I have 
                  collected through the Ride. Then finding things that relate 
                  to today's Prayer stop in Mankato. Happy Christmas 
                  to you all! Gloria 
 Air, Water, 
                  Earth and Fire all joined together in shell, feather, beads 
                  and color to join you in your prayers if you wish.

  I hope you 
                  can all read this OK
