2Stop, I hear ya!

I know that when I was a child, I got a lot of wisdom from my female elders, my mother, my grandmother and my great aunt who was like a grandmother to me. It was these women who told me about life, about the history of my family and my ancestors, about love, about so many things that were instrumental in forming my own personality.

I had a wonderful relationship with my grandfather and uncles, but they taught me things about trains and nature and business.

Funny how each gender has different things to offer, but for me it was the women who offered what I needed to know most. That's just how it was.

Hugs,
