Lessons of a Decade

Lessons of a Decade

This past decade has been an eventful one. We are undeniably different people (all of us) than we were in 2000. Of course the changes inherent in life have certainly come to pass (births, deaths, illness, puberty, pets, marriage, new careers, moves, new homes etc.), but beyond the more predictable events, as a "people" we have changed.

We have seen horrific acts of terrorism, war, economic fraud and deceit on a global scale and we have seen profound acts of political bravery and hope. We are not the same people as we were at the dawn of the new century.

We are key actors in our collective destiny and at Lillunia (small BUT mighty) we really believe- in fact our prime mover is our understanding of the word "NURTURE"

We are entering this new year, this new decade with a renewed sense of responsibility...and it is good. We will teach our children what it means to be a part of this big life system; we will teach them "we" before "me" and we will try our best to learn these lessons also for ourselves.

Sometimes it is difficult to re-invent our understanding of our place in the world, and sometimes it is as natural as air. This is natural.

Everything we do, take, eat, make, break, destroy, build or create has a consequence far beyond ourselves. It is not hard to imagine what these consequences might be. Once we do this, we get to make informed choices about what affects we want to have on the world and its myriad progeny. Choice is good. We wish this for every child.
