A change is gonna come

Gathering all grandmothers/grandmothers-to-be/anyone who hopes to become a grandmother someday and/or anyone who had a grandmother they loved or one they didn't think was particularly terrific. They all had an impact.  AND, most importantly, we can learn from our combined experiences.  So much more than if we had tackled it all alone. 

Join me for a discussion of pertinent topics.  It’s Fresh Perspectives on this next/definitely NOT last/stage. Let's share what worked, what didn't and/or what’s currently going well.  

Wednesday, September 15, 2010.  9:30-noon.

I’ll count on your full participation.  This means:

  • Helping me generate discussion topics 
  • Participating in our meetings.  Hmmmm.  How could we have long-distance participants?
  • Sharing something to sustain us food-wise  

I'll provide the setting, facilitate the idea exchange and provide coffee and tea.  

The following favorites speak volumes about life with friends and family.  Each could have been a theme song for Fresh Perspectives, don't you think?  Take ten minutes out of your busy life to listen.

  

If it feels like a fit, join me and other wonderful women for the Next Step in Parenting: CampGran/GranCamp or whatever you want to call it. 

We’ll meet every month or so.  Subsequent dates TBD in September.  Participation is limited.

Register your interest by emailing lois@freshperspectives.org.  

Location details and agenda available once you've RSVP'd.

A change is gonna come.   Oh yes it is.  

 One more time.

One Fine Day with Favorite Friends, Feathered and Otherwise

Sensory overload.  An abundance of good things.  Upcoming baby showers.  Yoga Birthdays.  Dental and chiropractic appointments/foot fixed/call me, Anne.  Capturing spring on my camera and in the shopping cart/Cost Plus.  Learning about New Year celebrations in Iran.  Preparations for tomorrow's celebration of a soon-to-be-birth/a hodge-podge of colors and things that make you laugh or smile.  If not, there's something wrong.  Thinking about Kathi and praying for her strength.  Welcoming friends/daughters/babies. Chickens to see. For the first time.  Grandmas with babies/but not feeling or looking old enough to be a grandparent.  Reminiscing about life with a wonderful, long-time  friend/talking about what little time is left/and very much appreciating what time we DO have/it's all really relative.  What could be more poignant/more satisfying/more fun/more colorful/more smile-producing?  Not a lot.  This is it.  Today. Much love sent to all of you.
