![Nugget was Sunshine’s bestie for 13 years. [ @thesunshinegroup ] The past 3 years i’ve known Brandon it was at first strange.. then endearing.. then i finally understood how much he loved that lil goldfish and why. proud to be your step-mom.. no one could ever do it like you, queen!
I painted nugget last week as a gift to my sweet Brandon.. rest easy nuggs. i know you’re swimming and making bubbles in fish heaven.
watercolor by me @chanti.castano .. this is the first time i scanned my art and cleaned it up on an ipad! i’m so excited to share more of my art in different ways☺️](https://scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/813606608_18142615897602636_4082796978971274863_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=108&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=74SsDuDNtJkQ7kNvwEhtIQQ&_nc_oc=AdrPPox2aFwKkTl30lKIPh5WhZFS61AI6E89Pen4vDpIyz3DSXmkNZCLIDhnW6aHBpg&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=dgd5lji-cKQN8cbL39Mopw&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQL9R-1pTHA3RmHl8vBF2lWBI-zFJ6x5t8fF7JeYWgYn19GU6hfEj49ESdF3B2p4y5SPtE_VfOvP&oh=00_AQLykPMfR1-1VpZ4fRre5B-VMEso7_OuGwMqEf6ALErQ7Q&oe=6AB2AEA0)

![My vision quest was so vast, so challenging, so mystical, so.. what even was that? so increíble.. that i can’t imagine deducing it to a post or two. this prayer and initiation of the lakota // mishixa tribe is profound. ooooold. ancestral. elemental. sacrifice. wisdom..
i’m so excited to keep studying this walk. i’m excited to have begun my training to pour temazcals (sweat lodges). something that will take atleast 3 more years.. likely more.. as it should. i love walking slow and gathering my skills as a medicine woman through years of deep study with teachers and elders. so grateful to each one that has touched my life. i love walking through these initiations for myself and finding out through patience and integration the diamonds in this work.
i’m so proud of myself. i’m so … full of life and gratitude and silliness and ….. 12 other feelings all at once …
i will say that on day 3 (out of 4) of no food or water or shelter or anything but myself… i was like “damn i’m the craziest person i know why am i like this” lol..
i don’t fully know how to explain what i went through on the mountain.. or how to express how good this was for me physically, spiritually, + emotionally
what i do know is this man pictured was there to help me pack my car and coordinate everythingggg, fill my home with food and love for my return.. and has been here to start hearing my stories, gently opening the space for me to unpack all this… so gentle like you always are with me..
this is my bestfriend, my team mate , my love.. together we are growing up.. moving into the next phase of life.. for both of us.. so much change and mystery..
thanks for coming to me on the mountain and laying next to me the night of the eclipse (as a vision). i felt your hands touch my face like they do.. and tell me you love me completely.. something i can’t remember anyone else ever gifting me. thank you brandon. thank you vision quest.
i hope to find a way that feels good and true to share more about my vision quest experience.. i want to uplift this work and those doing it. let’s see what happens. i’m looking forward to it.
