CONGRATS Jody those children chose you as their grandma and teacher-so blessed
There have been other generations that some came in this way. I was born in 64 hard to believe lol. I have had all of these traits and always felt like a stranger in a really strange land. My qualities of kindness, compassion, acceptance and love of others, animals birds bugs etc was largely ignored and ridiculed. I never understood the cruelty of man or how children could learn so young to be destructive. Of course my path included a dissociation, depression, substance abuse and a certain hopelessness that followed me through life. Despite many challenges designed for my growth I retained my optimism and in the recent decades understand my mission and origin. So many of us have been way ahead our time. I do look forward to loving and nurturing my eventual husbands grandchildren and perhaps some foster children. I have worked with many children in my career and they were as much my teacher as I was theirs. There is great comfort in this message and so important to filter out the noise of change, resist fear and embrace our evolution ❤️
