I absolutely LOVE your posting... and your ...Betsy,<br />I absolutely LOVE your posting... and your own shared understanding of how our heritage and connections as so beyond our own imaginings - and so often divinely inspired! <br />I venture to say that you are "a natural" for your new business creation that supports your own language / communications / education heritage and lights the way for others...<br />Yes, indeed... gifts within flowing outward blessing all! <br />Thank you for your post!karen - Simply Inspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595412619382964568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273254044244288165.post-58874901000575599672011-01-14T17:58:12.114-08:002011-01-14T17:58:12.114-08:00Karen, This is so beautiful!
I love the little tr...Karen, This is so beautiful! <br />I love the little treasures you have prepared for your grand-baby's arrival!! So sweet...<br />But more than that, I love who you are - and how your grand-baby, as she grows up, will indeed appreciate and benefit from what you have given her and will give her of yourself, DNA and all!!<br />I remember how very special it was for you to connect with your German heritage all those years ago during our CC time. I can see now how you were then beginning to understand these mysterious strands...<br />I also found several of these wonderful strands in my own language/communications/education heritage recently. My maternal grandmother planned to travel and teach cross-culturally when she graduated from college in the early 1900's - an unusual goal for a young women of her station in life at that time. And then also my mother taught English as a second language to Eastern European and Russian Jewish refugees during and just after WW2 in New York City. Then there's the amazing connection that I applied to a 2nd choice college in 1972 called Franklin and Marshall in PA. I did not end up going there or have any connection with it again...until 30 years later when my son chose that school as his 1st choice! This happens at times when the parent did go to the school...but I visited that school once and never went back - or mentioned it much to my son - or ever dreamed he'd be interested in it!! <br />Fun stuff, indeed.<br />AND I also resonate with the bread and baking thoughts...did I tell you I am reading a book called "52 Loaves" about a guy who searched for the perfect loaf of bread and as part of his search, he actually ended up teaching monks at a medieval abbey in France how to work with wild yeast - because the last baking monk who knew how to do that had died and their tradition was about to die also. How's that for a great example of not only DNA strands but just people reaching out to people in similiar circumstances strands! <br />Gifts within...and without!Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519780842038265118noreply@blogger.com
