Embrace your Journey of Discovery

Writing the feature film screenplay, SACAJAWEA, The Windcatcher, was more than just writing a story about an icon of history. In fact, I can’t put into mere words the power and scope of the project, and how it completely transformed my life and the lives of others.

After I wrote the screenplay, I didn’t realize what (or how long) it would take to actually produce it into a film. I also didn’t realize how the Universe would show me its darkness along with its most brilliant light – a magnificent light shining through the spirit of this brave heroine.

A few years ago, I began writing down some of my thoughts about Sacajawea and what she had shown me about herself. I knew the harshness of her life was not for children, but there was something she had to say to them. There was something she knew, something she wanted children to learn. That’s when “The Grass Maiden, Sacajawea,” came to life.

As Creation works, it is transformed by stretching and growing, moving and imagining – and with Sacajawea, it was no different. “I’ve never done that before,” was not an excuse. She taught me, and others, that we could try, and we could fly!

I was so blessed when my granddaughter, Faith Halseth, agreed to come with me on this adventure and create together the watercolors for this book. With the painting instruction from my youngest daughter, Jerah Fitzpatrick, and the illustrations by my oldest daughter, Shawna Fitzpatrick, we were able to bring a visual feast to the words.

There are many ways to embark on a Journey of Discovery. The first step is to realize you don’t have to know everything to walk it – and you already have everything you need. If the journey, or the dream, is written on your heart, there is already a way to reach it!
