This year (starting Thanksgiving 2013 - that's tomorrow), I will be
taking a "year of inspiration" (something like a vacation, but I still
go to work). I want to take my grandkids, Maia and Isaac with me on
some of my more inspirational journeys - but many miles lie between us.
So, the next best thing - or maybe even the very best thing - is to
take them with me through short stories.
I want to add a
twist to the themes - that is positive psychology, resilience,
happiness - whatever one chooses to call it. I'm working on characters
now and want to post them for you. I will be adding more - and I will
be posting each story here (and to Youtube in video format), as well.
The reason is that, well, maybe my words can be inspirational to more
than just Maia and Isaac.
I live in Southwestern
Colorado - so my adventures will include road trips, plane trips - and
just everyday life lessons. I have 5 cats - and Maia loves my cat
stories - so each of them will portray themselves. I will be fostering a
dog - who will portray (to some extent) my grandkids - who will be my
companion on the road trips/life journeys. My car (Mini Pearl - the
Fit) represents my mom's family (specifically my maternal grandma,
Minnie Pearl) and the resilience they taught me growing-up. My first
story will feature an Native American Princess - a powwow dancer - and I
am looking for her name.
I will post these stories to
my coaching facebook page - if you want to follow from there. It's
called Midwife of Changes/Stuff of Life and here is the link - https://www.facebook.com/TheVeryStuffofLife
OK
- so let's hear a drum roll for our characters! That is all until have
more characters. I will post the first story around Christmas - since I
don't want to ruin the surprise for my precious little ones!
(I
will have to come back and add the cats and princess, as blogger is
acting strangely at the moment. You can see them at our Facebook page
as linked above, however. Come "like" us!

This page started as stories I wrote for my grandkids, Maia and Isaac, when they were younger. Now, it is a travel journal about my journeys through the Southwest and West. I hope to write it in a way that is educational and fun for young people who want to join my journeys.
