Sometimes I make a point of asking for the help because I like this moment and it has an impact on the moments to follow. Thanks for discussing this topic.

Actually all my grandparents were, they were quite young when I was born so were a big part of my life.<br /><br />One story that I seem to be telling a lot during this moon is actually about my grandfather (husband to said grandmother). He was a microbiologist and worked on improving fertilizers and farming techniques. One thing I noticed as a child was that his gardens were always amazing! I noticed that nothing was ever planted in the same place each year. I later discovered that he was rotating his garden. He knew which plants took from the soil and which plants gave to the soil. The plants were interrelating in the soil thanks to what my grandfather knew!<br /><br />I hope to use this same kind of knowledge of give and take as I work on my skills of organizing people and events at the Tai Chi Society, which is a whole new experience for me....<br /><br />Thanks so much for your Blog Okwaho!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051173247358390031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-74301022019064151392010-07-29T21:57:20.332-04:002010-07-29T21:57:20.332-04:00Christy,

I could feel her Spirit through your text. Sounds like she was one of the natural impacts in your life. <br /><br />LISALisa F.

As I greww up she shared a lot with me, and I still use a lot of it to this day.<br /><br />A lot of people my age think I'm pretty serious and boring...often too straight-laced. Then I really surprise them with a swear word if I'm really angry.<br /><br />To me it seems the vulgarity I use only every now and again holds more power coming from me. It strikes the people who hear it even though they use the same kind of vulgarity daily.<br /><br />This post brought up a lot of thoughts for me.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051173247358390031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-45104113147504579202010-07-27T10:57:58.058-04:002010-07-27T10:57:58.058-04:00I read this post last night but I went to bed drea...I read this post last night but I went to bed dreaming about how we use our bodies to communicate...I think in society today we are disconnected more and more teens are glued to a video machines or a cell phone and they do not interact even looking into someone's eyes. In my dream I was making people talk to each other and hold hands....I notice there is a comfort level with people its like we need to re program our minds to become attached to our bodies, I think we start to change things when we change ourselves, remind ourselves to work at being healthier.
