| "When you remove love and try to replace it with monetary things, you've got nothing ... get him to understand that he has to love himself before he can love anything else." |  |
| --John Peters (Slow Turtle), WAMPANOAG | |
| It is said, "Love thy neighbor as thyself." That's the trouble, most of us do. | |
Great Spirit, You are love; You are spirit. Spirit and love are interconnected. I am spiritual. Let me realize what I am really made of.
THE MEDICINE WHEEL
THE MEDICINE WHEEL TEACHES US ABOUT RESPECT, HARMONY AND BALANCE.
The Medicine Wheel is a gift that represents the sacred circle of life. The word "medicine" is used to describe spiritual energy. The Wheel is equally divided between the four cardinal directions, each with its own set of teachings and attributes. It helps us to understand relationships in creation, visible and invisible, and how the whole of creation is interrelated and connected by the Creator's life force. What affects one, affects all. The Medicine Wheel teaches us about respect, harmony and balance and helps us honour the sacred circle of life.

Elder's Meditation of the Day January 12
| Elder's Meditation of the Day January 12 | |
| "The first thing that we want you to understand is that spirit has no color or race to it. It doesn't matter whether your skin is white, black, red, brown - whatever. No one out there is any better than you, and you are no better than anyone else out there." | |
| --John Peters (Slow Turtle), WAMPANOAG | |
| We are all created to be of equal worth. We may be different sizes, different heights, different ages, different colors, we may have different beliefs and be of different cultures. In the unseen world, we are all spirit formed into different shapes and colors but we are all worthy. For example, you can have water, you can have steam, or you can have ice. Which of these is not made up of H2O? | |
My Creator, today, let me see equal worthiness in all people.
