Fri, 13 Feb 2009 20:33:15 +0000 http://www.bripblap.com/?p=43#comment-27234 The thing I've always found with good advice is that often it only triggers or registers with someone if they've had certain personal experiences. Rather than me repeating the mistakes that my dad made that his dad made that his dad made... what if I could accept, trust, and enact the wisdom from my elders? That would really be a stimulis for change and progress.<br><br>Perhaps that sounds off message but it's not... by collecting and assessing the ideas from your grandparents you may be able to stand on their shoulders... what a blessing for you and legacy for them.
