  8. I LOVE this. What a wonderful Tipi. Thank you for the lesson. I didn't know either. We used to have a tipi village in Isla Vista where people lived years ago but they outlawed it. It was a nice thing.

  9. These are beautiful life guides! I love yours, too, Gemma: gratitude. I try to journal 5 things I'm grateful for every day before I go to bed. Wouldn't you love to have a tipi in your backyard for an overnight camping trip close to home? And see the blazing white sun as well as the moon and stars through the smoke hole?
