Great story, Shelley. I get bored with strategy games, too, which you’d think I would like since I’m a researcher. But the creative in me is too impatient, I guess. I love that your son has an interest in sports journalism like Poppi.

I think some of those traits do get passed down in our DNA. My nephew got his bachelor’s in journalism like I did. He also loves to write pretty much anything and has filled volumes of journals. Again, like me. But I don’t think he knew that when he started writing his degree or all those journals. I was so pleased and amazed when I learned of his interest in writing. What gets passed down in our genetic tree is fascinating.

So relatable in sooo many ways, Shelley. My son has always enjoyed games that I absolutely cannot play without losing my mind. I desperately want to play with him, and at the same time, cannot do all of the things (no matter how hard I try).

Lovely Shelley. Generation after generation some special characteristics shine through. Also, since I listened to The Telepathy Tapes, although not scientific,I think that some things I always wished were true and thought might be true, are getting closer and closer to the discovery that they are true, or at least are possible.

Thank you, Ann! I need to listen to those recordings as it keeps coming up and today is the second time! Absolutely, these things are true and I make a choice to believe them. It’s combined DNA and science and also the unexplainable mystery of how life doesn’t end, it just continues. What a wild ride!

I have always chosen to believe too. I am delving into writings from my great Aunts right now and have a deep sense of somehow belonging to all i discover. Wild for sure.

What a perfect tribute to your grandfather and your son who will find his path. And I have no doubt, Poppi, is helping your son find reasons to be interested and inspired. I think we’d get along great—- strategic thinking is my jam more so than ooey gooey things. I clearly have both inclinations, strategic and emotional intelligence but lean towards strategy being a INTP/J but more Perceiving traits. This ties into my Human Design traits perfectly.

Thanks, Leslie! I'm glad you can relate and I appreciate your taking the time. You are strategic, I can see that. But what are ooey gooey things? :)
