After reading a few of the posts I guess I can consider my self somewhat fortuante. See I always new I was different, and my mom and grandmother accepted it.Mom and my Father split when i was 6 or 7. Was very loving but Stern, remarried an alcholic and that was an abusive relationship till I left for the Air FOrce and he got sober. I spoke my own language till I was almost 6 , mom got very nervous, I could talk to the animals that way.
I wasnt extremely gifted in School,I loved Science though; but in other ways. When I went in to the Service and was Stationed In South Dakota,at the Foot Hills of the "Black Hills", it felt like home and I could feel and see the power this was in 76 to 78.
Oh and am I ever Dyslexic,WOW I am luck I get up and down right.*wink*. I can write with both hands though simultaniously or seperately.
I always kept my own council and didnt have many friends , those who I did let get close to me and there are only 3; are True friends and will come any where I happen to be when needed.
I fit most of the description of Indigo Children, I help others find there way, through "comfort talks" or "Insightful" conversation. I am already finding more people like me who the Children say " Mommy he has Magic," or "Mommy he is Magic he can talk to animals, or is He an Angel?" I still find it had to think that most people just dont get "it". I now have an Extended "Native American Family" and they are very understanding about this. I have learned a lot from them on respect and nature and my self. Not to be worried about the "others" and to concentrate on my gifts.
Thanks I hope to talk with more of US.

Wow. I loved your post RavensWolf. I'm so glad that you've joined the forum. Own language, talking to animals, Native American family, insightful conversations - what a delight you are to have around. Thanks for your advice "not to be worried about others and to concentrate on one's gifts."

I'm reading "Nature's Way" by Ed McGaa. Ed outlines the lessons of ten animals. I'm really enjoying the book. I think that my difficulties in life (inter-country adopted and abuse at home along with associated low self-worth and co-dependence, and being overlooked, e.g. for jobs 'cos of self-image but also, I am sure, because I'm small, female and Asian, not to forget very old, LOL) helped me to be more observant of self and others (lesson of the Eagle). I'm sure that's a big part of how I survived my difficulties - by looking out for role models but in a twisted sense - meaning I was always looking for the truth in all people and things, and trying to carve out my own truth (i.e. view-points and approaches to life).

Animals seem to have an affinity with me at times, I have noticed.

Thanks again for your story, RavensWolf. I will be happy to hear further advice from you, in all honesty. That is why I've joined this forum and others (which have a very slow rate of posting) - to learn from the Indigos!

Blessed Be,

Star Wise
