Then and Now

Parents raise their children the best way they know how to. They create little versions of themselves, all the good, bad and ugly that they are can be passed down to their scions. A child grows in the soil of the home he or she is born into.

As you reflect on this, as a child, as a parent, a grandparent........when is it the correct time to dance your own dance, be your own YOU and not a carbon copy of a parent?

There are many chances in life to recreate ourselves. We can do this daily, yearly or actually, never at all.
In THIS lifetime, are you living YOUR life or the life you were expected to live, the way you were expected to live it?

Can you allow the best of your ancestors to live within and around you while releasing anything that does not fit in with your adult paradigm?

Keep your mama, your papa, your nana and gramps near you, but remember to be YOU, too.

"I meld the best of my past with the best of my future to create the NOW I wish to experience"
