Grand Daughter,
Your grandmother was a great priestess –
A woman with enormous power and intellect
who could feel and interpret emotions and motivation.
She could weave a spell around you
to make you feel better about anything
and her disapproval could make
a person ponder their existence.
Your grandmother was an artist, a tale teller,
a singer, and even a dancer in her younger days…
She had knowledge passed down to her
from Five Generations :
- Lydia
- Frances
- Irene
- Patricia
- Louise
A pioneer and farmer,
A business leader and church builder,
A party girl and feminist,
A healer and observer of nature,
A poet, a writer, a singer, a teacher…
All these strengths are within you, Child.
Grow strong and make your own mark.
Blessed Be.
Ma, Gigi, Mimi, Mama, Meema
