building hope for the generations

Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would find myself in this position.

I am now a grandmother - a pivotal point in the lives of those I love.

Like it or not I am the matriarch of the family, sandwiched between four generations.

How did I get here?  What do I do?  Where is the manual?

Every 21st century grandmother is faced with this same dilemma. 

As seasoned women we have the distinct joy of leaving a legacy, of pouring ourselves out as healers of the generations,repairers of the breach, peacemakers in a world gone awry. 

A grandmother's journey is individual and unique. It is our time, our moment in the sun, our last opportunity to serve and not be served, to love without taking offense, to celebrate joy, to cheerlead and handhold those who come behind. 

What an honor and a privilege.

As women we would do well to not take this responsibility lightly but to embrace it with grace and integrity.  This is my heart.  I have written two books to encourage you on this journey.  I hope they will bless you as they have blesssed me.

This website is an opportunity to celebrate with other sojourners - pilgrims on the journey of being a grandmother.  It is our time to share the joys and sorrows of aging, to rejoice with the regeneration of new life, to celebrate our faith with our progeny as they carry forth the torch.  It is a time to plant, sow, reap, and grow. 

Welcome to the grandmother website.  Grandmother power is loosing itself.  Watch out world - with grandmothers embraced, change blows in the wind. 

On this website you will learn about grandparenting.  You will find links to other like-minded and excited grandmothers who seek to effect change in their worlds and in the lives of their grandchildren.  You will have the opportunity to reflect and process on the amazing opportunity set before you, to reflect upon the ways you might pour out love and healing upon those placed before you, ways that you might share your faith with you grandchildren. This is our time - let's not waste a moment, for no one knows the day or the hour when their time upon this earth is finished.  

Let us celebrate with joy the challenges and opportunities with which we are faced, giving thanks to God and those in our lives who offer us this moment in time in which to shine.
