3 Careers that bring out entrepreneur spirit in you!

I have always been the type of woman that loved to be independent and rely upon my own iniative to get things done. One can say with this being said what career decision can possibly form? I began by researching the kinds of retailers and organizations that were close in proximity to me and the type of transportation I needed to get there. First and foremost my primary job was bread and butter for my family. I worked as  CSW and Social /worker mental health most of my career also as a youth worker. I dealt with adjudicated population of boys and girls in the youth criminal justice system both in group homes and at the Receiving Home on Mt. Olivet Rd. NE Wash. DC. 

up pi I have had various temp job as clerk-typist, file clerks and support staff for nursing home and health facility. The main occupation for is service and helping others with my expertise. Character building assisting youth with correcting certain behaviors has been a passion withe showing by example that change is possible negating old stereotypes that one cannot change core values. I believe that if worked in certain cases change can definitely be the final outcome A mainstay in our community are service jobs, hotel. Retail jobs and jobs that are minimum wages are jobs that many young adults seek out before attempting high tech and multilayered managerial positions because you don't have to have college degrees to apply. What I personally have done is secret shopping and magazine/card set ups which surprisingly gave me a great check on a monthly basis. You have to have access to a vehicle to really do these types of jobs. Being a merchandiser for certain business. There are alot of support columns written giving scads of information on how to get established and begin. One should also examine time management when settling into any job situation. I am just giving some of my intimate views on positions that worked for me and showing others that being self employed can be the freedom you are seeking. R

Cancer is a concerted effort.

I woke up to realize I am carrying an unwanted passenger. It is called cancer or myeloma. AKA known as bone marrow cancer it breaks down your marrow much as the marrow in a chicken bone would be. I can't see for the life of me why it chose me but it did so I have to be understanding not angry as I was at first realizing my life as it was is now finite. My life always was but now I can see it and taste it before I knew but never exactly when?? Somehow amidst the injections Doctors visits and hours of studying the ins and outs of this malady of diseases that hangs over my head I have to somehow balance my life with family and not allow them to take this experience lightly cause who knows who may be next to receive this heavy burden. I have to smile to keep my tears in check with my grandkids, knowing that it can be a day or night that my life can be cut short with the call of my maker claiming my soul to come rest. Why did this terrible thing come into play? There is but 1 way for man or woman to be born but millions of ways for us to die. We search our hearts with answers that only start with in our minds placed there in memories that part with our ancestors and their forerunners people that gave them the answers we now seek. What turmoil and pain do we have to endure to ensure that our lives won't be in vain nor shall our existence be looked upon as a glimmer in the eyes of those who loved us. No we will be held high by all those around us who knew us and lived through us they knew that we didn't want to go or to leave would be too painful to bear. I can only give you what I  feel and that is tho my days are filled with love for my children and friends those that remember me will tell you that I lived through it all I lived to be loved to be here to be of service I lived. I lived so that you could all be! 

Family Memories are Everything!

Family memories are Everything
 It's funny how you grow up with brothers ,sister also cousins  and suddenly you have all separated and raising kids of your own. We played cops and robbers ,set the dollhouse with dolls and even dressed up imitating every adult in the family. It wouldn't be basic because everyone has a drunk uncle and we had several. How awesome to go from 1 generation to the next in what seems like a moment. As a child I can remember enchanted moments of "I dream of Jeannie and even "I Spy' Robert Culp and Bill Cosby were my heroes. Yogi Bear and "Exit Stage Right "Snaggle-Puss were the cartoons to watch on weekends and you and your brother argued over who was gonna look at the cereal box while indulging in your favorite brand It was a 'Man's world' in which I grew up,men dominated all things wise and economic during the fifties.Then we had the Kennedy and Lyndon B Johnson era whereas things were bearable but still shade was at the end of the tunnel .There was the 'Viet Nam War' People came home mentally disturbed fighting a war for all intent and purpose the minority felt was genocidal. Many veterans came back home infected with 'Agent Orange and horrific drug habits but somehow 'Uncle Sam' made most things right again and all was well.

brother ,wife, my sons

I felt sometime that the world was being run by an old transistor radio and 'The Whole World was a Stage.' Being a baby- boomer never meant much to me until I saw all my friends dying and even more crippled and disabled and to find that I could still enjoy sex was a major factor to me 'sic' To realize that Medicaid and Medicare became a catch phrase to most of us now instead of hanging out in the newest clubs that DC gentrification brought head on into DMV. Am I jealous 'Nope" not in the least but I can say with all sincerity that if I could control a Time Capsule I really would like to keep Obama for another 4 year tenure, and send Trump back to Jersey fast. I might even try my hand at politicking. If Only Time wouldn't Fly like it has and the Doobie Brothers might even think about singing at my Inauguration along with AWB 'A Love of My Own Yessss! Those were the days.My oldest brother visited about two weeks ago with his new wife and I had the pleasure of seeing my life set out before me with my kid who is now 45years old and has kids of his own. My mother a great-grandmother who still loves going to the casina's as she calls Maryland Live and Horse-Shoe in B-More was radiant watching the generations pass her by but giving her the praise and wonderment people give when they find out your still here! I had a ball as the old heads like to say and share some of our highlights with you from the past few months that I have been cataloging my family and their unique story lines.. DC does not always TUrner Around.. A Play Upon the TURNER CLAN!

Rags to Riches: How Taraji P. Henson Turned $700 and a Dream into an Empire | The Reel Network

Bombing in Boston Who knew and who cared??

Ironically I sit back and take in the news reports and radio reports as they stream on and on repeatedly throughout the day. One bomber who at first was only a person of interest is dead the other one is the main person involved in a statewide manhunt. Both of them are from a place across the seas near Russia and are CZECH. The identity point is what interested me the most, they were said to blend in with UNITED STATES everyday mingle and flow of people mainly Caucasians that are moving freely around any given point in America without pause. No one gauges them or their movement because basically they are not suspect nor are they wanted for anything criminal. The Islamic religion that these men are said to follow has not been the focal point of their crime not yet anyways because the FBI and other police oriented agencies have yet to investigate these crimes to the fullest capacity. I can all but assure that after investigations have got under way there will be a way to tie it in with Islam if only for a motivational notion or a political agenda tie in. Just for the sake of saying that their beliefs played a part in them putting these bombs down in Boston on that particular day of the marathon. The horrific quiet after the explosions made me feel as though the world had come to an end. These types of event have been predicted as bomb experts elaborated on the Fox News and other stations throughout the United States. To my astonishment they were completely correct since 9/11 we as a country have been rather lucky that it hasn't happened earlier. I hear the uncles quiet lament as they are bombarded by newscasters and reporters who holler and scream questions at them,these people are just finding out these disheartening facts on their relatives as we are but no

one cares that they are trying to balance themselves away from the disbelief that these children are their people. The way society looks at terror and the part that we manifest this atrocity can only be summed up as one statement we propagate the hate then sit back and wonder why? My question stems from something the uncle said when he was questioned by a reporter that the only reason he could think of was because the boys could not relate nor could they acclimate themselves into our society. What did their neighbors say and do ? Did they shut them out from activities? Did they discriminate against them because they came from another country? It couldn't have been that much prejudice because they looked so much like everyone else as was said repeatedly over and over, like everyone else. The pressure cooker bomb in essence symbolizes the pressures that these individuals find themselves under once they felt as though they have arrived into another country where they are supposed to be safe and able to work,study,live and be free just to realize that this is just another illusion made to look ,smell,and feel as though your safe when in reality you are still an outsider and are viewed the same way you were when you fled from an unsafe situation! Who knew what went through their heads? Now it's much too late to ask those questions but what about the next insurgents or terrorists that lurk waiting their turn? because there will be a next time be assured!!@@

Incarcerated Minorities-The New JIM CROW

While reading this article I couldn't help but see what others view as the right mind set about us as a people. they see our shortcomings as convicts ,thugs or prisoners as either a character defect or something is wrong with our genetic makeup. When we are born there is no direct correlation with our futures that lay out a plan that we are going to break the law or be criminals. There is nothing but a clean slate society dictates and manipulates the visions and direction we take. Our environment can be as much as a mental compass as our elemental balance can be to us in most cases. We are molded according to our parents brackets of earning and living in certain areas. That is a definite correlation, why do you suppose there are gated communities? Do you suppose they are to keep the people that live there in or people that are undesirable out? Exactly what is your take on that question. The privatization of jails and penal systems has been long in there making and the powers that be that are running these conglomerates know what their particular directives and initiatives are and who they are directed at. One could imagine a few of there own may be caught up inn the mesh but the majority will be minorities and those that are disenfranchised oppressed and just out of hope. How do you end up being in those categories of being detained indefinitely and all the time remaining  black or minority as your ethnicity? How does the numbers continue to add up to that type of statistic?The war that comes to mind is not a war of color as as much as it is a war of the Haves and Have Not that always equals Black and White. Nothing can keep the odds up as even on all areas in those statistics. No game of craps would keep your side of white as always having money and the side of Black as being oppressed and broke,all of the time if not most of the time! There is no COMPARABLE IDEA IN MY MIND OR ANYONE ELSE'S THAT THIS IS BY NO MEANS A MONITORED AND OR DIRECTED,PLANNED AND OR PROJECTED TYPE OF VISION THAT HAS IT'S HANDS UPON OUR NATION. Conspiracies are things that cannot be proven however you just know that it's in place and the fact that this country has always acted upon subterfuge and espionage is by no means a coincidence. The war in Vietnam as any other wars are by far the US way of cleansing its country and adding to its inventories or coffers money and industry when needed can come by the guise of assistance in aid to other countries by choice or by force. They (countries) can choose the way it goes down. Why do you suppose the US is the most hated country in the world? It's not so much because of their animosity towards the 3rd word countries or underdeveloped countries that they get this unique nametag but because of their politics and the underhanded deeds that they contrive upon when dealing with others.They buy each side out then throw sides back into the fight or fracas with each other counterattacking and spies, all of the stuff you see on television is live and in real life. They will kill officials and families not keeping anyone in a partial process but using everyone as they would a pawn or knight in a chess game nothing is sacred with the United States except WINNING! That's the only thing that matters with this super-power. Now we have this communication going on about UNICOR something that has been known for quite awhile but keep resurfacing from time to time because it is real and just won';t go away it seems until it's addressed but the United States wants no parts of this because a lot of heads will roll if this information is decoded and unleashed to the public. There pretend all they want to act as though it is not here in the prisons the jails and any other nice convenient place of detention in our country. I know for a fact because I was there for at LEAST THREE YEARS KEYPUNCHING AND WORD PROCESSING ALSO PROGRAMMING FOR THE GOVERNMENT IN VIRGINIA AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. I WAS DOING IN EXCESS OF 1000 OR MORE KEYSTROKES AN HOUR AND WAS MAKING ONLY .23 CENTS A DAY THROUGH UNICOR. As women inmates in the state of Virginia and Goochland Penal System we didn't have much in the way of decisions either you worked laundry or sewing Industrial for Army, Navy any where that they needed industrial garments made up fast and cheap that was us or you had to be locked down there was no 'if's and or don't's when it came to directions. The men inmates make up much more of a percentage than we did because there are more men's jails and detention centers squandered around the United States. A Bureau of Prisons is a large conglomerate that doesn't care about nothing except numbers and how they are going to keep up the projected statistics from year to year and to make sure that the contracts still come in and doesn't matter if your babies "your black babies are earmarked to go into a system that is so dull and deadly and antagonistic and such a subtle insidious, parasitic device that no one really sees it as a danger but perhaps even a hindrance to keep our kind off of the streets. The initiatives they speak of are written to take up to 20-30 years of 'Blacks into the machine that takes their lives, their experience and blood to make sure that Wall Street thrives and makes our blood churn the monies into the pockets of the 'NEW PLANTATION OWNERS' My Release Date was 7/23/93 after giving the criminal Justice System at least 15 years here and there in increment,and installments of 5 years,2 years and 4 years repeatedly. I finally got the message and made the transition of going back to college getting off of parole and staying out in the 'Free World" whereas I teach a young group of Black kids that don't listen and won't believe what we had to go through and what waits for them once they step into the machine.UNICOR may be listed under other corporation such as the GEO Group they hide alot of their affiliations because of the lawsuits and legal animosity that accompanies its existence but for the most it generates so many millions of dollars that they push it under the rug really fast and keep on moving as they do with any real crimes against HUMANITY and will continue to do so until someone starts looking at the big picture and connecting the dots..then it will become what it really is a Holocaust and Black Genocide. Make sure you read this article that proves that there is a definite correlation from school to prison there is no such thing as reform!@!@  http://www.techyville.com/2013/02/news/how-corporations-make-money-from-prison-labor-theyre-happy-to-have-more-inmates/

A letter for the upcoming year!

Wow we are finally here in 2013 seems so far awaY FOR A BABY-BOOMER TO EMERGE HERE in this place and time. I have some heart felt responses to put here and some brain boggling statements as well. Firstly I want to thank everyone who pauses here to read because reading material especially solid reading material is hard to come by and what I write I want it to be comparative ACROSS all boards not stopped by whether I am one color and you are another I want it to be faceless and colorless but of great import because words are thus shapeless,colorless and above all else tend to resound in your soul and hearts of men long after they are remembered by the readers. Where are we now as a nation of people who have managed to strive beyond the amendments of the Constitution and to shun those things that would have us shackled to lies and more hate! We have a disease in our midst something so insidious and baffling that it goes through our hearts and minds like some giant creeping thing that emerges itself to do damage to anyone and anything that is in front of us and for no other reason than to harm and hurt our souls. When words  no longer are captured by our minds than I know its time for other tactics to make sure that the words reaches its mark. I go on the internet I go on blogs I go where the social networks are. We are so influenced by what others say that we won't read relevant content we will only read that which strikes us as colorful or bewitching something so frivolous that it really loses its real meaning,it misses its mark which is justifiably a message that lets us know that we are in danger if we don't change our ways and means of thought. To change isn't something that I have the real solution too but I have reckoned enough to know it's route is not a dangerous one and that it is on the side of good at all times never meaning to harm or hurt in any ways but to raise up and to help one that is down... the way to change is merely to keep your fellowman in an upright position at all times, never beneath you or iN A POSITION THAT MAKES YOU HIS SUPERIOR AND HIM THE INFERIOR FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN WORK. We have taken this label and put it on any typical qualification that a person can use just to make ourselves feel better about us. Why is this I suppose have we let our ourselves down to a point that we must degrade others to make ourselves raise above the fray of whispered deceit and hate. We constructed the very vessel that holds us prisoner and we lie to our own ears that this is not the case. Lies and deceit is what forms the disguise that starts out the road to disaster that runs down the path to a place that makes us hate another so much that they become a part of the before and after that we believe is a solution...Destruction! The real powers that be this year are the ones that will give our nation some continuity and cohesiveness... solidaRITY WITH A SPIN ON IT! This is something that hope shall spring forth with and gladness and strength and above all else clarity to b able to see past faults and change them along with our path that we trod upon for the rest of our days..

Anthony W.

A wonderful human being has left this earth , a person who if asked would surely have laid down his time for you and lend an ear for your problem. Upon reaching my job on Friday November 2, 2012  I was traversed into a netherworld where my thoughts went every way but the right way. Mentally all who were told that Anthony was shot and killed that previous Wednesday still haven't come to terms on the senseless act that this was and probably never will it will be like an old file that is stored along with other miscellanous facts that have eluded human beings since the dawn of mankind. Cain slew Abel and from that moment on it has been like a cacophony when it comes to the single word "WHY"? ON this night Anthony was last seen on 4th and Rhode Island Ave. NW The police report stated that he was shot multiple times by an unknown so far suspect and managed to run out of the alley, get to the street and collapse.This is where the Emergency Fire & Rescue along w/ authorities found him then pronounced him dead. After all is said and done can people just go back to business as usual or have we gotten so desensitized about death that this to will be just another long fact sheet at the Medical Examiner's Office? Can we get so tired about senseless deaths that we go out into the streets and demand that the police and the Mayor stop leaving these mental pieces for us to ramble through during our lucid times of the day and fight the good fight for justice? The stress that goes along with so many sleepless nights and so many painful episodes of funerals and viewings has got to take it's toll upon the nation's psyche at least it has for me. Then we have the experts that research how our mental health is holding up and we sometimes wonder what can be said about our young and their being exposed to an ever extending arm of tragedy and mayhem does it stop people and if so when? When we hear that children so absurdly pick up arms,guns,knives and slay one another for stupid  reasons, can we actually say that we know why? Somehow its so cloudy now as I say 'Goodbye to my friend who was so young and promising! He actually was on his way to another level in his life, that is why its so sad and conclusive when we see the results of a Thought World Gone Bad! Can society be resurrected and can the people that do the deeds learn how to live peaceably instead of the visibly angry way that they solve each and every thing that they encounter? Why? is the only word that I can say at this time but hopefully that word will change to I forgive you!
I dedicate this piece to his sisters and brothers that still don't know what to think of their older brother's passing,this young man who strived to be the better man and a candle to light his siblings path and show them that it could be done. Anthony I applaud you for the short time that I knew you I came to admire and later respect you for the time that you took to do positive things for the agency you worked for and for family. I want to encourage those that can take something away from these, senseless acts of violence, please know that for every branch that is torn away from a beautiful tree there will grow several more to it's bountiful harvest. ANTHONY YOU WILL BE MISSED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!

Calling! Calling Earth To DMV

Who asks anybodies opinion nowadays?

It's Thanksgiving Eve and better still Black Friday as it is called. I was sitting here going over my blogs and musings smiling and thinking to myself just how naive folks are these days. I used to hear my grandmother say all the time 'Life doesn't come with any instructions you just move up and down the road,hit a bump adjust and then move again" Somehow simple and plain. My birthday will be here in about 72 hours and I wanted to state loudly and clearly that people are still in a state of confusion no better than they were last year or the last 15-20 years if you ask me but as my title related who asks for my opinion anyway? Noone ,by the way as the story goes people do employ consultants at a steady pace to sequester their lives and businesses along the way guaranteeing that they have someone else to place the blame on if it sinks or swims. Funny analogy I would say but for real nobody wants to sink alone. This society fairs no less than the trifling peons that escaped England and other countries years ago and struck out to the New World capturing and procuring others people less fortunate than they or so they thought? to domesticate and put into slavery  we were supposed to have begun living a better life style but instead have sunken to the depths of the barrel if you ask me but again no one is asking for my opinion! Ha!Ha! "The OCCUPY AMERICA ACTIVIST"phenomenon shows that society is sick and tired of the Capitalist,Socialist and just about anything that says it is Government. We have stopped being a government for the people ,by the people or any of the old rhetoric that applied to the Constitution. We have that Elitist idealism instilled in this democracy we call home and the haves are the ones who run everything! We eke out our living in hopes that no one steals our bread on their way home afraid that if seen everything will be lost that we have slaved for all these years and that is certainly a terrible way to feel and to harbor inside of a human psyche! The powerful parts of this movement is that it won't get better it will definitely get worse because now America can see that there still is power in numbers even though the FBI threatens to dislodge you ,disown you and persecute you nobody really cares cause you have already experienced all those feelings at the hands of the oppressors-America The Beautiful The lack of revenue and recession has given us more businesses and no jobs how does that work? How does this society think that regurgitating people from position to position will get us back on our feet. It reminds me of Invasion of the Body Snatchers whereas the people were being made or manufactured by the organisms in the pods. That's considered science fiction but it's said it can be stranger than truth nowadays but who is asking my opinion about this either? I guess a mind is a terrible thing to waste in this century but many have done just that wasted minds and bodies that if thinking were  a crime to be committed they would be millions of felons walking around all the time! I have been told that my writing is sub-par and that I am ignorant all things that a person that has hit a nerve will be convicted of. It is by no coincidence that I write I write to get it down not to make money or to be famous but to get it down on paper and out to people that will listen or take note at least. I don't write for you to believe but to merely examine and see if this is something that you can relate too as well! There are approximately thousands of so called scholars who can write profusely, scores upon scores of writings and books and notes that are worthy of peer reviews but not one iota of truth can be found at least not truth about what is actually happening around you or them. You may write out a thesis on something that needs to be categorized but what about real life events?What about real feelings and emotions that pour out at a rate of mind shattering quickness and never is cataloged or talked about? These are some of the events that I have taken into my minds eye this month that I will share with you not for any scenic views or for you to take into consideration but just for the beauty of the moment alone. Just for the freedom that I found in the second it took to take the picture and savor the minutes, the hour, or the seconds that have left me never to return.. Or for you to ever have this opportunity to share a moment alone with me! I have photos of the 'Grand Openings of Aldi where people are so fond of saving money but realizing as I said "its only rehash for the cash" at work here!These photos of 'Martin L. KING People are here but do they really understand the connotations of the words and his reverie and cause he died for? Do they?? My pit bull puppy that is just a little lapdog that is a YORKIE! Days of Autumn that are changing as fast as the words that I have written!Leaves that are too beautiful to paste in a scrapbook_ And for those of us who believe that life is just a repeated format but wonderful all the same I salute you too! Let's have at it- this thing called LIFE!

Once upon a rainbow clear..

Once upon a time there was a "Rainbow" that wanted to exist not in the way that a beautiful thing wants to endure but to linger and to mean so much more. It wanted to enlighten a person on a dreary day it wanted to bring sunshine to those that didn't know the way. Rainbows are often translucent and not very visible items but to see one in it's glory is as -

if you have witnessed a unicorn in the morning.. Beautiful sight it may well be but we also know that its as fleeting as hummingbirds wings on the cuff of a shirt! Not done and never seen!!

Martin Luther King Holidays and Memorials

I was given the once over by some of our residents of the District of Columbia last month for speaking my mind about the newer face of the District and how our residents that have lived here for generations apparently don't have much say or money in the matter.The title article was called 'Can this be revived?' basically saying that the 'H'Street corridor has now been changed to foot the coming of the trolley cars ,new hotels,condos,massage parlors oh! they commented on me so profusely because I made mention of a couple of health parlors  being a yoga den-Woo! did they get on me were saying that they actually threw up in their mouths from the statement. The problem that I have is the utmost disrespect for Black Washingtonians that have lost out on their legacies here in DC. What with new developers coming in and out of our city-Well it used to be ours so they called it 'Chocolate City at one time now it's not even that. I don't know what we can call DC right about now as it says it's final death knell. With that being said all can be said is that we will see if this new DC will be a better city for Blacks and their families or are we destined to be destroyed along with the culture that used to thrive here? gone along like a smoke drift as one person so aptly said that DC was destroyed by the onslaught of Cocaine. I again beg to differ because this week there is actually a seminar or sit,down and talk meeting(What I call those meetings that needs answers from its citizens)Now if that doesn't give you signs of vague ,unmet reasons and thought that are drifting around this wonderful city, I will eat my hat and yours too! There is something that is amiss in our surroundings and it's not just the statistics of unemployment or even the fact that you can now afford something without a foreclosure lurking solidly by your head. They have lowered the loans and APR, APY rates for someone I just wonder who? People who aren't employed can't get employed without skills and money. Money for programs,educational and otherwise How about some technical skills and help programs for those folks that aren't Bachelor degrees and or Master's degree material but have potential to work at something other that the professions and sciences- How about Congress not fighting the President for every little bill that he sends there way for lack of a better word (PREJUDICES) and allow some programs in society that can perhaps help someone other than the elite citizens that probably have everything that they can imagine in their homes,land capital and money! Whew and a lot of us are still trying to get out of the Food Stamp lines that are still evident in our country but if your an alien that just got here you'll have a store on the corner before I can shake my tightly curled hair free of the ribbon or tie that's on it.There are so many things wrong here in America that we just shake our heads and take it low to the belly like t's nothing at all but for real its all economically upside down and there is no real leverage given to the ones that count and that's the citizens of this society. The residents of the DC area just have gotten a touch of it on a wider scale because everyone seems to want to go to Hollywood we just forgot our cues and oops! Our lines!!! Martin Luther King said He has been to the mountaintop and I know he didn't make mention of seeing a people more downtrodden now that they were then now did he??    What was Martin's Dream? and I know he didn't make mention of seeing all the people he mentioned ostracized in their own cities?

What's so hard to learn about LOVE?

If we look at our world and realize just how small it is in comparison to our everyday wants,needs and worries maybe just maybe we can see that we are more alike than not. Every little girl wants to be a Princess and most little boys have the trademark of their daddies or some other in-charge person they know-sic! However what they aspire to be has more to do with what their parents have presented into the lives of their children. The most important aspect would have to be is the countenance of the LOVE that's manifested and shown throughout their lives! How they are both loved and how they decipher and give love. Do they realize through parenting that they should love each other and create relationships with people as opposed to not creating them? Do your little ones keep most of their abilities and attitudes that they have when they were young? And if not why not because we showed them how to be suspicious and to hate? Why do we even teach this strange emotion? is it indeed a defensive motive or do we give this to them as a type of keepsake handed down from generation to generation? What is it's use anyway? We start out so nicely cultivating qualities in our young to take on the world as they will know it not exactly as we have because of the frequent changing of the Guard! This is something that is-inevitable and nothing or no one can stop the ticking of the clock of 'Time" Just believe that we are not the only ones of this world that have to teach,collaborate and justify where we want our offspring to aspire to be and to what extent they will get to when they get there.We have to believe though as their proprietors that we are reverent in our misgivings and that if there are mistakes that they can be rectified also done and to thine self be true! Teach them these attributes and their lives may not have been in vain for these are the ways of this world and perhaps the next-Who knows??
