” I remember early on how my grandmother would encourage me to envision even the smallest dreams down through my hands into the world. She would say, ‘See it here,’ pointing to my forehead, and then she would take both my little hands and say, ‘Now see it here.’ Then she would laugh and say, ‘And soon, it will be here.’ With this, she would look around the room.
For through her love, wasn’t Grandma creating me? Don’t we help birth another the instant we encourage them to see with their heart? Don’t we help birth the world each time we give someone confidence to build what they see with their heart? “

REFLECTION:
- Reflect back… was there someone, who through their love helped to ‘birth’ you? Who was it? How can you thank them or honor them for this support?
- Is there someone you can help ‘birth”… give them confidence to pursue their dream? Who is it? What will you do? DO IT!
