Dakota 38 + 2 Memorial Ride 2021
December 25th

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!
Jean Nahomni Mani

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

Gloria, 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.

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
