Welcome to Li'l Ol' RedHen's wiki site which is somewhat of a main portal to projects, from or about certain stages of life and hats one wears, roles, and occupations. Check them out at the "Associated Sites" links in the sidebar or in the short summaries below. See how to join in the side menu.
First, the Li'l Ol'RedHen (aka NativeLegal Eagle) would like to give a hugh shout-out THANK YOU to wiki guru Ed Johnson, and to thank his patient wife, whilst he assisted myself .. and I'm sure..others with his guruisms. He has immensely helped make the visions for these wiki sites become a reality. I appreciate the wiki community for the spirit of sharing which circulates among all and for providing the opportunities with the wiki sites.
If YOU are someone who is particularly interested in a particular project, perhaps by viewing one of the sites, or by referral from a private member and you would like to become a member, please feel free to email RedHen to share why you are interested or to suggest a forum, blog or even a site be opened to share on a particular topic you want "open".
You may click on the links below to go to the site itself to get more of an idea as to the topics discussed therein and join it to see further contents. A short summary of the sites are found following the links below.
Li'l Ol' RedHen's Productions A main portal for the websites, specific projects, or shared projects hatched at this nest of the Li'l Ol' RedHen. Her overall mission is to share and collaborate with others to create "better ways" to build "cradles" for humanity, promoting individual and community health and happiness, "life-ways" and "law-ways". This page shows how to join.
Native Legal Eagle's Aerie A legal, law related, site about the lives of the Legal Eagles' & their friends discussions for preventative and healing justice as well as current happenings in the "law-world". We share from the perspective of the overall viewpoint from "the aerie", building better "nests" and hatching great ideas! Parts of this may be private while others invite public participation to help build better systems of justice.
BLIPPS ("Bi-polar Lives in Process and Progress") is a site for discussion of alcohol & other substance abuses, mental health, emotional and other similar biochemical or mood/emotional issues. It is a site for sharing and communication of the challenges of living and helping others progress, to support, empower and educate ourselves. Parts of this may be private but others public with friends and family discussions welcome and to discuss challenges and the rewards, Yes the rewards, of living with WE BLIPPS.
Cradles for Humanity This site is to share in and develop tools for building iconic "Cradles" for individuals and groups globally: To build the world's "cradle power", to "be", and to build Cradles for oneself and humanity; To build the value and dignity of all living beings with fun and creative projects, through the stages of life, "love and chemistry", "conception", "pregnancy", "birth", growth through "nurturence", and "mature fulfillment", and reference to "full-circle holistically fulfilling maturity". See particularly the blog on Egypt Rising: Envisioning a Cradle for Humanityhere
Access And Beyond Concepts This wiki is an online counterpart of a Nebraska non-profit to serve access needs of individuals and development "beyond" mere concepts; We envision this becoming "an umbrella organization, incubator type" for various projects or referrals. Example of those who may enjoy participating are those people with solutions to help move persons from poverty of physical or other well-being, (in other words sort of a "Li'l Ol' RedHen type person..doing it all alone), to being able to move "beyond".. to share what is needed for transition beyond, and their ideas.
JustaMice Corners This wiki site is a continuation of the story-telling book "Li'l Ol' RedHen's Justa-Mouse-in-a-Corner Families" (copyright), where she introduced the "JustaMouse-in-a-Corner characters" and the "FarAfields Mice". This site is to now build on the potentials of the original characters. See the JustaMice Map at the WIPS. We are asking for YOUR collaborative efforts, if interested, to show what's happening with those Mice in your corner of the world .. in your lives, with shared stories on this site in collaborative mode, to bring some real life judgements and solutions on what's fair and right to the world.
Sanctuary Seeds This wiki is A gentle Place "to be .." and "become"; of rest & sanctuary from the storms, discouragement, betrayals, and traumas of life, with comfort and inspiration; tools to assess one's situation, to prioritize and organize a plan which empowers …thus facilitating development of 'better and healthier ways" to meet challenges. It is especially directed at domestic violence survival and beyond, but is for rest for all of those suffering for want of solace and a viable "way out". Note keyword "viable". It is a place where "Inspirations' will be posted.
Healing Justice A place to discuss and possibly to invoke actions for "preventive and healing justice" proposed as a "better way" than the legal arena to settle conflicts. It draws on the strengths of many alternative systems. IF you have experience dealing with alternative justice or indigenous, tribal systems, your contributions are especially welcomed to compare and find better law-ways. It is also an overlap and extension of the "beyond" survival suggestions of several of the other sites.
Recipes and Remedials A place to share recipes, conventional, traditional, fermentations, kefirs, etc., and remedies of all kinds, herbs, herbals, and related gardening infos where appropriate. You are encouraged to share your kitchen "alchemy" experiments and their results. Weeds & flowers anyone? Kefir, Kombucha, Konjac, low-cal, stevia?? Special protocol for healing may be shared here, but no "commercialization" except in an approved links and resources section.
All Truths and Health Freedoms Linking health freedoms ..or abrogations..to assist in revealing truths regarding what is happening on these issues…both a fact-finding and collaborative effort to distill information on the truths about issues affecting health and viable choices. This may be from farm to tummy .. and beyond, to lifestyles and medical practices.
Full Circle Designs Help connect the dots and design new and better systems for humanity and our planet. This shows the concepts of the interrelatedness of all of our life, holistically, (e.g., physical, mental, emotional, mind, spirit, ecosystem and other species of sentient beings.)
HeSheWe This is the author's blogs to tell the past and continuing stories of He, (Dave), She (me, Joyce), and "We", our lives together past and current. )
Following are some of the suggestions and guidelines we would like to see followed in any of these wikis:
A very few of the Li'l Ol' RedHen or NativeLegal Eagle's projects or sites are primarily private. Most are at least public for viewing a summary, some invite some participation, so we invite you to check out the different links to projects which are available below.
Most of these invite full sharing and participation so long as conversations or sharing are kept "clean", "decent", non-insulting to others on personal level. We discourage any attacks on others personally for religious beliefs and political views and urge wholesome, civilized "tolerance" where you disagree. It is possible for mature discussions and observations to be expressed so no one is insulted, or bullied. Civilized tolerance is necessary, we believe, to encourage a free democracy and healthy growth among all citizens.
Li'l Ol' RedHen discouraged in-fighting amongst her chicks at home and carries over an encouragement to online discussion which does not degenerate to barnyard-fighting! Unruffle the feathers and do our chicken-scratching in our interest areas … finding gems to share as well as frightening "finds".
Likewise, legal ethics and courtroom decorum and order demand a certain amount of civilized tolerance and even an attempt at collegiality among all "officers of the court" and litigants.
Where the wikis are private and by invitation only, it is usually only to provide a "safe" place to discuss topics and to protect the confidences of the members or because of the particular subject-matter discussed. A brief disclaimer here of any intent to discriminate against anyone by a particular privacy as the whole intent of these websites is to help empower others, not harm.
ABOUT LI'L OL' REDHEN (aka Native Legal Eagle later in life), AND HER PRODUCTIONS THUS FAR:
Li'l Ol' RedHen will provide the Gentle Reader with a quick peek at the character, her lives, loves and legends
From times of teen mother on forward, the author then often felt in the role of the famous RedHen of storybook fame. She felt consigned because of her sex and chosen role of wife and mother to ALSO find herself “doing it ALL alone”, (literally when on the farm tilling the garden, caring for it, burdensome and tiring work on through harvesting and having all others enjoying her preparation and eating of food because it was woman's work, man's excuse.) Divorce(s) were another set of confusing and challenging situations for Li'l Ol' RedHen "do it all alone" persona. She has since used the knowledge as strengths. She wishes to let others who may be in like situations to benefit by encouraging them.
Later, her identity gradually changed through supports and empowerments, including scholarly eagle(t), then later, after graduation from lawschool and moving to Alaska, on to her various legal roles reflected as a transcending Native law "Legal Eagle" lawyer and persona.
This culminated at one point with her adoption as "Sheteex", a legal leader and medical “healer” ancestor in the Tlingit Tribe. Those are parts of her total life experiences which are, “interwoven” in the fabric of her life. She set them forth in time-order in her 1st book and "beyond" in other writings.
She had a major setback when she slipped and fell on ice at her Alaskan workplace, analogized by her as the Eagle's being buried and wounded for awhile in an avalanche of snow and ice. But, in due time the creative energies and inspirations from God, family and friends allowed the Native Legal Eagle, wounded and wearied, to go to the edge of the cliff again, flap her wings in trial a few times to test the wind and her wing-strength.
It is not always an easy feat, taking off from the cliff's edge into the high spaces. But such a free and wonderful feeling to once again feel the wind beneath the wings, bearing her up to again SOAR and view the world from an Aerie!! Indescribably peaceful.
At the present point in time, the author's persona often switches from the Native Legal Eagle back and forth with the Li'l Ol' RedHen of earlier years, especially when she has discouraging times when the challenges are overwhelming or tend to make her resentful or bitter-feeling for awhile. The turnaround time is faster nowadays.
The reintegration of RedHen, the brood mother and "farmer" is still happening now that RedHen again has ground to scratch, seeds that get sown and harvested, and all kinds of creative efforts happening with the produce and the fermentations and remedies which she is brewing from those.
Meanwhile, the Eagle's view from the Aerie has enabled her to much more quickly discern the evidence regarding the relative merits of various personalities and lifestyles, various herbs, remedies and their comparison with pharmaceuticals and the information on them.
Mama Hen and Mother Eagle are now whole .. Full Circle where that which is sown by oneself can be realized for self and others gladly.
More will be explained herein as it is relevant to ongoing life being presented in her wikis or books. It is partly in jest, but such a time of challenges is here, just trying to figure out the wikis, starting to feel they are unnecessarily hard and perhaps she should rather invest energies in another type of web communication, but hating to let the challenges beat her. Her instincts tell her there is a whole world of seeking and soaring to do with the help of the wikis. Wonderful Wiki Worlds!!
The first big challenge she had was to figure out how to develop her visions for the wikis, to upload and present images to illustrate various points and stories she has to tell and comments and research to gather together (chicken-scratchings?) from the corporate barnyards, wherein, with her head cocked toward the ground to listen to relevant noise, she hears the sounds from much corruption.
She KNOWS some collaboration with other like minded 'Ol Hens and Dandy Roosters, and the far-view of the Legal Eagles, would turn up MUCH "food for thought" from the barnyards. She hopes to be able to stir up nuggets enough to get some REAL groupscratch research and analysis going on, that Native Legal Eagle and the other soaring birds could rid the landscape of the vermin and really concentrate on "nesting" activities and "Cradle"building.
Ah … the chicken-scratch search for bugs n vermin!! Then, the swoop from the fine-feathered soaring ones, straight as an arrow in their descent, to pluck out and take away the prey.
Check back for progress, especially IF you may like to join the chicken scratchin' or soaring! What corrupting bugs and vermin would YOU like to participate in eliminating from a healthy barnyard home … or from the aerie of the Eagle.
