I'm so glad I found this in my very cluttered inbox. For some reason it didn't pop up in the app where I usually find the latest from people.
Similar to you, I've recently been seeing the power of hearing the family stories through my siblings eyes. Even better, we have been looking at those stories as tails we can redefine. What the events taught us about survival at the time, are not set in stone. We can look back and understand how they were tied to a place and time. And even though I've had a lifetime of living using those old rules, I'm getting better at seeing how they don't work for the person I am, or family I am in, now.
That is so very true that when we view stories through the lens of time and place they do take on a different dimension. I also was so stuck in old rules and mainly untruths that I had built up around my own self and role in the family.

Patricia, love the zigging and zagging here. And the cute dolls.
If nothing else we sure do get good at the zig zag by the time we hit our cronedom....
I do enjoy creating, but my dolls no matter how hard I try just always come out cutesy.
