Our dear friends Jose Federico Ajpu Munoz & Julia Beaty have brought forth life recently - a sweet baby girl named Ruby.

If you have met these two beings, you know they radiate love and are vital members of the New Earth. Jose is a Maya Timekeeper & Guatemalan Elder who regularly travels & holds ceremonies with his wife -and now baby!

Due to the nature of their work, they are currently not traveling and offering their services (i.e., they are without work & have very limited funds) and also have a vehicle that recently needs to be fixed. They are down to rice & beans!

Our dear Elder and community members need lifting up during this sacred portal they are in of new life. If you are a parent, you know this time is so important to be able to bond, relax into the beauty of your new child, and let go of stresses. It's vital to be held by your community.

Jose wrote these words below a few weeks ago before his daughter was born. Let's take in his words and offer prayers and physical support of money during this time of their lives.

"Dear Brothers and SiStars,

In this time of upheaval — war, trembling earth, and storms of uncertainty — remember: we were born for these days. As Time Keepers, we know that chaos is not the end, but the beginning of a new cycle. Just as the night gives way to the dawn, these tremors will awaken a greater humanity within us.

Stay rooted in love, peace, unity, balance joy and harmony, anchored in your prayers, and guided by the wisdom of the ancestors. The earth is birthing a new era, and each of us is a vital part of her dream.

Hold faith. Hold vision. Walk with courage.

The future is not written by fear, but by the light we carry now.

We are the bridge between the ancient and the new.

We are the breath of hope in the heart of the world.

We are the seeds of the golden future.

Keep walking. Keep shining.

Jose Ajpu Munoz"
