Lucy Nicolar was born June 22, 1882, on Indian Island, Maine, the daughter of Joseph Nicolar and Elizabeth Joseph. Every summer, her family traveled to the resort town of Kennebunkport to sell baskets. Lucy and her sister performed in Indian dress for the tourists. In her late teens she started performing at public events such as sportsman’s shows.
During those performances, she came to the attention of a Harvard administrator who hired her as his assistant. He took her into his household and gave her musical and educational opportunities in Boston and New York. In 1905, she married a doctor and moved to Washington, D.C. Eight years later they divorced, and Lucy moved to Chicago to study music.
Lucy Nicolar also toured as part of the Redpath Chatauqua Bureau, then the Keith vaudeville circuit. She married a lawyer who became her manager. He took all her money and fled to Mexico after the stock market crashed in 1929.
When vaudeville died, she returned to the Penobscot Indian Island Reservation with her husband Bruce Poolaw, a Kiowa entertainer from Oklahoma. They opened a gift shop — a teepee 24 feet in diameter — called it Poolaw’s Indian TeePee and sold traditional Indian crafts. They also continued to entertain locally.
Lucy and her sister Florence campaigned to improve life for their people on the reservation,. Their land stretched along the Penobscot River from Indian Island near Old Town to East Millinocket.
The sisters raised the educational standards for Penobscot children by gaining access to the public schools. And they persuaded the state to build a bridge to the island.

The Old Town Enterprise reported “The princess has done much for the uplift of her people during her public career, both locally and nationally.” Lucy Nicolar died at Indian Island on March 27, 1969, at the age of 87.
Grandfather Sun warms us with the power of his energy. Grandmother Moon gives us tides, she assists us with time and gives us good balance. Mother Earth provides everything we need to exist. Father Sky gives us the air to breathe. We humans are blessed with our astronomical family members.
I see a generation rising in selfless faith, a new stirring of remembrance as we realize the Truth in who we are.
Once dead to the old nature in us, we rise.
We experience our true nature and we are reborn into a heavenly body while in this flesh.
We shall experience the infinite realm fully in every breath, in every thought, in every dream, in every step we take.
Being as One in IAM, we receive all that we could ever want or desire, in perfect love, no longer receiving in our limited expression of love and desire in our human nature.
I stand in ALL of who IAM, for I am worthy, as an heir to the unlimited realm of the Creator.
I align my thoughts to this knowing now, fully. For the former thoughts of who I have known myself to be are no more.
I am created as new.
I am adorned in a new body, a heavenly body.
I am aware of the flesh that was once who I am, and in that, my flesh is lifted, restored and purified and recreated, to bear the frequency of the most high to reflect the “image of God”.
I am that reflection.
A prism of Light.
A diamond made strong in the transcendence of human suffering by trusting in this All powerful Creator within me, as me, and I choose to let go attachments of need, want, suffering that was once known in the form of what was once “me”.
I am Christed. I am already free, simply forgot.
A bride adorned for her bridegroom. Sanctified by the Holy Spirit fires. Wedded within to Truth.
All my thoughts are to the Glory bursting within every cell of my body and the overwhelming awareness as unconditional love, becomes me.
I bless and exalt the Creator, my Lord.
As I stand in the heavenly realm now, I experience increase in all that is for me.
The banquet table was set, awaiting the body of Christ as you, to take their seat, and upon choosing that, the feast is soon ready to be tasted.
The earthly body is glorified in God, and is renewed in every moment as I recognize the gift of Presence, flooding my life.
Your glorified body is glorious!!
It possesses awesome attributes:
Impassibility: no sickness or disease. No worries about doctors or hospitals. Ever.
Subtlety: meaning it will be controlled by your soul in a harmonious partnership. You will have a spiritual body. We can pass through doors as if walking through them. (From the unseen realm (heaven) to be seen on earth)
Clarity: Your new body will shine, free of imperfections, with eternal vigor. Think of it like being 30 forever! With no jealousy or insecurity about how you or anyone else look!
You’re in heaven, after all where no toxic emotions like envy exist.
As well, your body will also have this great Agility! You’ll be able to move at the speed of thought anywhere and everywhere.
God IS up to good things, in the midst of the storm.
We have been witnessing a “war season” in the lower world.
Many are about to cross over the threshold of a world in suffering into the eternal world on earth.
Those in Christ Consciousness.
The mysteries are ready to be revealed to these ones.
The “first born” in Christ.
A GREAT WAVE of God’s Holy Presence will flood the earth as a commanding force of love asking all to choose.
This great wave will lift you to the heavenly realm, that has always been here, as you say YES, to God’s most Holy Presence.
And then, we shall walk the earth together, on earth, but not of it.
The family of God. Living in God upon a new earth now.
For we shall walk beside ALL in the heavenly realm while upon this earth, and move in the gifts of God’s Holy Spirit.
In Christ, we are given the keys to greater works, oh what a joy this is!!
They shall observe angels opening doors of opportunity for them. They shall see and know the reign (rain) of heaven poured through them. They shall see signs and wonders, as never seen before. They shall experience an anointing upon them, that as they give from God’s heart they shall receive the abundance of all blessings. Their homes, and businesses and family shall be kept in the heavenly realm and shall prosper in Christ. They shall witness a world without fear in their own life, while observing those navigating great turbulence in their rejection of Truth. They shall respond as guided within to assist those choosing suffering over freedom, that they may see the great love that awaits them, in us.
I declare the blessings and promises of our God who loves us beyond measure.
For we thank God, for the fulfillment of all promises in your Word.
The way, is the truth and the light that is within you.
The light that never went out, only covered by your denial of it.
Choose this beyond the world you have known, and follow the guidance of the heavenly realm, within.
I choose to follow the highest power of the Most High God, as in that, I am more than a conqueror of the world.
IAM that, IAM.
I ask in Christ, that the most powerful and holy warrior angels assist you in moving whatever is in the way of you knowing Truth and experiencing this freedom, that was ALWAYS yours.
Simply waiting on you, to choose your true nature and identity in Christ, and leave behind all fears, all suffering.
That you may rise in power in God, as a citizen of heaven.
Say Yes, to the Spirit of the Living God within your heart.
Turtle woman is making an offering of wampum to the plants of the river.
“Please”, she asks, “can you help us?”
She explains how we need the rivers to be clean and she acknowledges the plants as the cleaners of the river.
She speaks to the wampum and thanks them also for the light they bring the world.
She talks to the plants for a long time. Telling them what is happening. She explains that the two legged have lost their ways. But there are still some who remember. She tells them about the babies that are coming who need clean water. She cries for her grandchildren.
The plants, being loving and generous, wait for her to finish speaking and then they tell her they have heard her prayers. They agree to help. They are gentle. They never have an unkind word to say about anyone.
From the shore a young person sings a turtle song. Unbeknownst to them, turtle woman is pleading for the world only a short distance below at the bottom of the river.
Remember what the Tin Man said in the “Wizard of Oz” after he finally got a heart….
“Now I know I’ve got a heart because it’s breaking.”
If someone you love died, your heart is probably broken. So how do you live with a broken heart?
The answer isn’t how you fix it or move beyond it. The skill is learning to live with your grief as an ongoing way of being in the world. It’s the way you honor that which you love.
What I’m proposing is that, with enough healing, living with heartbreak can become natural, and very normal.
From my personal and professional experience, I can tell you that as you embark on your healing journey, you’ll start crying a whole lot more. Not just to clear pain, but for the simplest of everyday reasons, and out of nowhere. You’ll cry when you see a bird, a can of paint, an apple, or even the shape of a cloud.
Random things will make you cry.
The heart is designed to grieve, it wants to grieve…..it has to grieve!
Especially when it’s broken.
This is the price you pay for love. The loss of the life you thought you had, the life you once knew and held so dear. Loss of a dream you believed was true.
But you can also find and feel grief in opening your heart.
Opening it to love and to new possibilities. Opening it to what the future holds.
Isn’t that what life is all about? Endings and beginnings, closings and openings? The heart was designed to navigate you through this forever winding adventure called life. But you have to be willing to feel…..and to live with a broken heart.
Here’s the thing…..you can learn to live with your broken heart by befriending your grief.
You can discover the love that still exists around you…..and share that love with others who are also living with a broken heart.
