Inspirational books always failed to inspire me until "A Cherokee Feast of Days." Joyce Sequitchie Hifler delves into my soul and finds the very best, strongest parts of ME. By including the wisdom of native elders, she gives us a perspective of "time," of each day, as a healer and as an opportunity to, simply put, "do good." Hifler is like the sunflower: her roots run deep in the red clay earth and her face smiles up to God reflecting the blessings which he has bestowed upon her and upon all of us. I have given this book to many of my friends. Prepare to have your outlook on life uplifted forever! Hifler makes me even more proud to be blessed with my grandmother's Tsalagi blood.

I have had this book and gave it to a friend and now I have to replace it. I depended on the daily mediations to give me a positive or clear thought to start my day. It parallels the daily mediations of christianity so closely it makes you realize there truely is only one "Great Spirit". This book has enhanced my life. Until I found this book I only had my christian beliefs of mediations. Now I have something that I can relate to through heritage. I have shared the passages in this book with many friends and it has touched their hearts as deeply as mine. Thank you Joyce Sequichie Hifler.

A friend gave me this book as a gift in 1993. I have read a meditation almost every day since. I find it to be uplifting and thought provoking and at the same time centering on things that really matter. The meditations remind me that family and earth matter so much more than materialistics. My daughter also reads daily and has been searching for one as a gift.

Certainly one of the most elegant daily devotional books available today. Hifler is both poet and spiritual guide. This book is a real treat!

To me there is a big difference between spirituality & relgion. One does not necessarily go hand-in-hand with the other.

I have a 'religious' daily meditation that does not 'speak' to me. A good friend of mine, Cherokee, let me look at her book of daily meditations...it 'spoke' to me.

I had to have my own copy so I could mark it up! I also love how it can be used year after year, except leap year, because it goes by days of the year vs days of the week.

Uneven, and with quotes from Native speakers at the bottom of the page that are irrelevant to the meditation above.

The book took a little longer to arrive than expected, but it was beyond my expectation, Very clean and pristine. Mahalo..

For those who have read 'The Big Book' and all the little publications from AA, this book is a nice change of pace that can be used to help keep you in perspective on your road to recovery.
