I grew up in a small community where minorities of all types were merely tolerated. Our parents encouraged us to maintain a low profile and never to distinguish ourselves in any way. We did not observe the holidays of our grandparents nor did our latino neighbors. Bullying of many groups was common and there were no consequences. I am now in my mid 60's and welcome the opportunity to address my past.

The work you do brings me so much hope to express and give from a blossoming inner strength and power too. You are inspiring me to look into the darkness of my ancestors which I have dabbled in but with your post am considering a deeper inquiry. As natural, fear arises with deep sadness for the little I know. I can feel the call and the importance of the ancestral work.�� Rita Millhench Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400032914352112889noreply@blogger.com
