Double Doll Blessing Ceremony

The blessing for Sharleen's book was performed on Saturday, the 19th, by a traditional Navajo Medicine Man, Tyler Bitsinnie, at his home in Tachee, AZ. The landscape pictures were all taken near Tachee, and the picture of the road is the main way to get to his hogan. All other photos were taken at Sonya & Tyler Bitsinnie's Sheep Ranch. Sonya Bitsinnie is shown with me holding one of her signature weavings--a raised outline rubics cube.

Double Doll: Turning Myself Upside Down

The title, Double Doll: Turning Myself Upside Down, comes from a pivotal experience in my life. I was only eight-years-old when I received a rag doll with a Navajo face and body on one end, an Anglo body on the other. The doll became a symbol for my journey into the world of the Navajo and the manifestation of a childhood prayer,Please God, turn me upside down and make me an Indian.

My story is divided into three parts. The first two chronicle the early years that led to a life-changing event and the formation of a new business with a mission to, "Promote American Arts through the Sale of Amish Quilts and Navajo Weavings." The last section tells of a learning time for me — lifelong customs and habits had to be replaced with the mores of a new culture. I share with you experiences that tested and, in some cases, shattered the core belief systems that had been my foundation for more than fifty years. Through intimate relationships built among the Navajo, I was forced to examine my own "world order" only to find those guiding principles were flawed. My journey started on the Navajo Reservation at the age of eight. Along the way my life was turned upside down multiple times.

She Faces Her Enemy: The Journey Continues, the second book in the trilogy follows the Durango Trading Company and two Navajo women as they travel to Germany for the Domotex International Trade Fair. The business story intertwines among my personal involvement with Crystal Redshirt, the woman who through a Navajo adoption ceremony became my niece. I not only had to face my own enemies, but was called upon to become an advocate for her.

The 3rd book in the trilogy, Lives Turned Upside Down: The Journey Comes Full Circle tells of my path as I followed a Navajo Medicine Man’s prophecy to: "Be the eyes and ears to keep us in touch with the rest of the world." My turned-upside down life once again took a new direction.

In all three of these books many names have been changed to protect the identity of the characters. I invite you to come along on what has been, and continues to be, an extraordinary journey.
