    Dear Ones,
    I just came through some very 'interesting times' in my personal life and am taking a moment to visit you. I hope you are all well. My DS18 is a freshman in College, studying Engineering, and finally learning for the sake of learning.

    What have you all been up to? If you have any Grinity-specific questions, put them right here and I will do my best.

    Kisses and More kisses,
    Grinity

    Hi Grinity!!

    Welcome back! Great news about your son. I yearn for when the time comes that my son will tell me he is learning for the sake of learning. He wants so much more than he gets from school.

    Hi All!
    It's great to see the old names and the new ones. Part of the reason I posted was that I think of this place as home, a place to share my milestones.

    In August I completed my 2 year program and I am a certified Instructor of Heart Rhythm Meditation. I am trying to develop enough interest to teach groups locally and online.

    Last week, I completed my marriage dissolution. I had been with my X for 21 years when I separated about a year ago. It's probably way off topic, but I do think that gifted intensity, gifted perfectionism, and gifted idealism all played a role in my X and I wearing each other out and being willing to stay out of each other's way much too much.

    Work is going well. All is well. I am so proud of all the parents here and everywhere who fight themselves and the world to get their children's needs met.

    Love and More Love,
    Grinity

    Hi Grinity! Lovely to see you back again smile

    Wonderful news about your son!

    I'm sorry to hear about your marriage, I hope you are both able to find closure and peace with the process. *hugs*

    I like that phrase :"All is well"
