As you’ve no doubt realized, I am, indeed, a Fiercely Compassionate Grandmother on a mission!
Here’s a bit of the early days, from my book, Grandmothers Are In Charge Of Hope:
When we were expecting my first grandchild, just before I turned 50, I noticed a surprising thing. In the midst of making tiny quilts and packing glass baby bottles for the trip across the wee pond, I began to get an inkling that things were changing inside me. Suddenly things that had been sort of philosophically important to me for years, began to seem more urgent. This tiny unknown person, this new spark of love in my heart, had to grow up in this world. And if we’re honest, this world could use some work!
Now, I’m not usually considered naive. And I do realize that there really aren’t perfect solutions. I also believe that we can all do better in some way and I wanted that child, even before she was born, to have the best possible chance to grow and thrive and blossom.
For me, it seems like part of what being a Grandmother means.
What I never dreamed, in those pre-Grandmother days, was how much more I had to learn. Being a Grandmother seemed so huge – and so scary – I’ve literally been learning ever since! And one of the things I’ve been learning is how to share my mission with Grand-Elders like you!
So, with some of the most powerful medicine in my basket, I offer you 3 seeds – or perceptions – we can all plant with our littles in the context of this very moment:
I am capable.
I am significant.
I am powerful.
–Dr. H. Stephen Glenn
For now, the very early layers of a painting with – you guessed it – corn, made of seeds known as prayer dots. Or dots of Intention. I am capable. I am significant. I am powerful….
So are you! And I’d love to offer you a 30 minute phone call so that we can talk about how you and I might do some of that empowering in your world. No charge. No expectations. Just an easy way to see what might be helpful for you and yours.
Or, you can email me, if you prefer… suesvoice@gmail.com
Now is the very best time!
