Hello from Minnesota! Cleaning out space, letting go of stuff that no longer fits on my journey. Reflecting on my travels, as an integrating two spirited, son, & father, handling things that used to baffle me, neither living in the past nor closing the door on it, blessed by the support of my emerging family of choice. Thanks to the ancestors, those who share this journey. Peace love joy. Wichozani! Mitakuye Oyasin, “we are all related” “Wir sind all Verwanten” “nous sommes tous relies.”

Threadneedle Street - Location of Chapelier - Arnaud Connection
I took the Tube from Lancester Gate to Bank to see this scene prior to our welcoming ceremony on Tuesday evening. It is now a very busy place of money and bank. Got the feeling of lots of lemmings moving around here in my gut and I got grounded by breathing into the spirit of my ancestors. From Nancy Chappelear's work I was envisioning a church in the late 1600's: " Dr Isaac Chapelier, son of Louis & Simmone Rous, was born 1672 at Uzes, Languedoc, France and died 1706-1707 in American waters aboard HMS Canterbury. married 10/28/1696 at the French Church in Threadneedle St., London, England to Anne Arnaud, daughter of Elie & Magdalen (De Valau or Devallaud) Arnaud. Anne was a native of de la Tramblade, France"
