The questions may be harder but your answers are getting better and better!! People accepting diversity is why I exist. I am half mexican and half scottish. Its a very strange combo. But, it works for me and my family.

Such a beautiful post! I really like your connection with today’s reality (I try to avoid that sometimes)! I too want to say it ‘right’ but this is what stops me from saying it! So I am considering this all learning and hope something I say is at least ok! I love reading the different perspectives of the same topic!

Oh, the humanity! (Kidding.)

I think that you’re right. Seeing people’s differences and learning to cherish diversity is so important. Of course our kids are going to stop briefly in the materialistic world. But hopefully, we can help them on the way to appreciating inner beauty!

Lisa, as always, this is such a wonderfully articulated post and gives me more to chew on. You’re right, of course we all want our children to see humanity as beautiful, but the how to is sometimes gray. I want to get it right too, and since starting this project, I’m definitely thinking about this more…all the little messages I impart, or don’t impart every single day. I love that you point out how our discontent can be frivolous, and so easily passed on to our kids. Thanks for giving me more to think about.
