Though I haven’t lived a long time... in my 24 years I have learned a lot. I had excellent remodels (like my mother and my grandfather @r2cornell) they taught me many important lessons.
Funny side story:
(@r2cornell, my grandpa, taught me how to be LOUD and how to garden! When I was around 5-6 years old my grandpa took me out in the field and would scream “I can’t hear you” and I’d have to yell loud enough for him to hear me across the entire field!! I’d yell as loud as my little body could, and to my mothers, and grandmothers dismay I was the loudest little gal you’d ever met! That same year I spent following my grandpa around while he planted potatoes and he convinced me that if I planted little blue pebbles with each one that they would come out blue! Now I know he was just trying to run off my crazy energy 😆😜)

Anyways, my favorite thing that my family has taught me, and the one thing I use most often is “killing people with kindness” a phrase my mother used all through growing up. It’s amazing how well it works! You wouldn’t believe the responses I get. For instance, I’ve had a few kids while growing up that were jerks! To me for not a reason in the world. Is reed of getting mad and fighting back, if turn to them; smile and either say something nice about them or ask them how they were doing. Most bullies... are bullies because they have been bullied... therefore, when someone shows kindness this can very quickly put out their flame. 🔥 if you haven’t heard the this song... please go do so now! It’s amazing and speaks the words of my mother!
