As our grass roots movement continues to circle the globe
Let's bid a warm welcome to adult readers in Lebanon, who
Will hopefully choose to lead young minds toward
Resolving conflicts in positively focused ways that lean toward
Innovative, realistic solutions more often than
Had ever proved possible during The History of the World, Part One ...
78 nations and counting :)

Sooo ... Where were we. Oh yes! Back on the ranch, Dino the lad, who is as concerned about brightening that which the future holds for his teen aged brothers as he'd once worried for himself, calls me and leaves a message. Being newly married, this responsible young man (who is now the same age as his father had been, when Dino senior began to style my hair) wants to thank us for the wine goblets that Will and I sent out from Crate and Barrel in celebration of his wedding. After playing phone tag for several days, neither of us gives up, so once we actually connect and our heartfelt conversation has covered this and that, my empathetic young friend, who works with children, clarifies the depth of his concern for his brothers' well being, because he has lived through that which they are fated to experience if change for the better remains in abstancia ...
With all sincerity, I reassure my friend that his concerns will be brought to the attention of his father, who, upon listening intently while cutting my hair, proves as eager to set up a date for the twins to brainstorm with me as was his adult son. And before I offer you a barebones summary of the brainstorming discussion that ensued, extending over three hours time, which truly flew by ... please note that, during the editing process, quite a few details were added to yesterday's post, rounding out the back story, which led Dino the lad and his dad to set up the twins' most recent visit with me, which I have no doubt will prove vital to their well being as each of us moves forward through every stage of life, in the only way we can ... one step at a time into the great unknown, which feels less scary, more adventurous when loving concern, connecting generations, holds hands with insight into listening skills, sharpened by knowledge, concerning denial's effects on the decisions we make ...
PS
As the downtrodden spirits of countless good kids, whom I've yet to meet, came into the world as bright eyed cherubs, who, at a tender age must buck up against chaotic circumstances based in unresolved parental issues—which prove similar to that which has been experienced by this band of brothers, who, like us all, are dependent upon brotherhood thriving amongst adults throughout the world—youth must place their trust in being led by adults, who like me, care enough to encourage our young to make good use of their noodles to voice a universal need for safe haven in which to study so peacefully as to assume responsibility for improving their lives... And thus does each post I pen in earnest implore you to do your part in creating change for the better by answering my plea to connect with this belief: The power of one can move mountains when each of us links up with the powers of many, who work conscientiously to create change for the better with one another, consistently ...
And with thoughts of adults improving the future of the world one child at a time, I hope you'll participate in this grassroots movement, meant to connect generations in well-informed, proactive ways as I weave classic stories together with a philosophy of life, which, over time, may inspire countless adults to encourage family, friends and colleagues to read at least one post, which—flowing freely from the treasure chest of knowledge that has accumulated in my mind over my lifetime—is penned, each day. And as each post that appears on your screen expresses a stream of consciousness, which may stir your think tanks to grow so insight-driven as to compel you to create change for the better in your home, perhaps this little 'old' woman—who loves shoes much less than she loves children—who are desperate for today's leadership to carve responsible paths where youth can emulate character strengths, like humility and compassion, much more often than not. You see, each time I sit down to pen a post, the children of the world are speaking to you through me—I mean, seriously—don't you agree that it's past time for our international soap opera—The History of the World, Part 1, to spin off into a sitcom, already??
As for right now, the noontime sun is shining high in the brilliant blue sky, and my spirit is about to fly off to the patio where my mind will rest while my body exercises with aqua weights in my mini pool.
As to additional details, plugged into yesterday's post, it's your choice to review them or not ...
