The First Native American tradition of elders imparting wisdom to younger generations has no counterpart in contemporary American culture. As a grandfather and as an elder at age 60, I use this book to pass on to my three grandchildren (and other readers) 50 bits of wisdom I have learned from six decades of living in this society. Section I discusses 14 concepts universal to all people, such as "Change," "Suffering," and "Diversity." Section II explicates 19 spiritual concepts, including "Unconditional Love," "Religious Pluralism," and "Environmental Stewardship." And, Section III elucidates 17 maxims, like "Take a problem and turn it into an opportunity."

The First Native American tradition of elders imparting wisdom to younger generations has no counterpart in contemporary American culture. Our culture has no systematic way of transmitting the knowledge of our seniors to our young people. If anything, a societal disconnect or gulf exists between our older and our younger people. As a grandfather and as an elder at age 60, I use this book to pass on to my three grandchildren (as well as to other readers) 50 bits of wisdom I have learned from six decades of living in this society. The 50 bits are derived from experiential learning. They come from the joys and the vicissitudes I have had and from the successes and the mistakes I have made. The 50 bits of wisdom are by no means intended to be exhaustive of all the wisdom available to us. Numerous sources contain additional and valuable wisdom, and I encourage my grandchildren (and my readers) to pursue these other helpful resources. The 50 bits are those which I have been able to integrate into my life, and so I know them personally. They are a part of my value system and my daily behavior. My goal for this book is to help make my three grandsons lives (and my readers lives) a little bit better, happier, or easier. My hope is that something written here will be of benefit to them. The book is organized into three sections and an appendix. Section I: Universal (Non-Spiritual) Concepts is devoted to a discussion of 14 concepts experienced by most, if not all, people; hence, the word, Universal. These concepts are: Change; Struggle; Suffering; Wounded and Healing; Diversity; Acknowledgment; Cause and Effect; Broad Strokes versus Fine Strokes; Communication; Transcending Ego; Projection; Support Systems; Unintended Outcomes; and Entropy. Section II: Spiritual Concepts explicates 19 concepts which draw on interfaith spiritual wisdom, transcending teachings of any one particular religion. They also draw on near-death experience research findings. The concepts included are: God; The Golden Rule; Unconditional Love; We Are All Children of God; Religious Pluralism; Mindfulness; Balance; Helping Others; Karma; Dark Night of the Soul; Compensatory Gifts; Go With Your God-Given Gifts; Environmental Stewardship; Putting Problems in Gods Hands; Thankfulness; Mission; Be a Good Person; Forgiveness; and Find Your Own Spiritual Path. Section III: Helpful Maxims elucidates 17 principles which have provided guidance for leading my life. These are: take a problem and turn it into an opportunity; most things in life are neither all black nor all white; always try to make things a little bit better; it is better to be safe than sorry; speak truth to power; bad things may happen to good people; when is enough, enough?; waste not, want not; the known often seems safer than the unknown; all behavior is understandable if seen through the eyes of the person doing the behaving; learn from your mistakes; never stop learning; trust your feelings; if you are not sure, dont make a hasty decision; dont be afraid to go against the grain; make hay while the sun shines; and, vote. And, the Appendix catalogues 20 additional axioms, the truth of which I have been able to glimpse but the essence of which I have not been able to incorporate into my life as fully as the 50 bits of wisdom discussed in Sections I, II, and III. These are: if it isnt broken, dont fix it; let the person who is without sin cast the first stone; dont panic; what are the underlying, unspoken feelings here?; dont look back; cut your losses; everything happens for a reason; make time for play; buyer beware; laughter is good medicine; when one door closes, another door opens; image, regrettably, matters; two steps forward and one step back; expectations may lead to disappointments; speak from your own experience; the ends do not justify the means; do the job right; practice right speech; recognize a window of opportunity; and namaste!

Advice For My Grandchildren is a collection of anecdotes and ideas inspired by the author's grandparents, with whom he spent many boyhood hours. As generations and circumstances change, so do the experiences of our elders, and they cannot resist passing these experiences on to their offspring. In the minds of grandparents this advice is invaluable and timeless. In the minds of grandchildren it is often boring and irrelevant. This collection is broken loosely into three categories entitled People, Places, and Things. Reminiscences are not chosen for any special purpose other than to pass on some of the lessons the author has learned, often at great expense or embarrassment. This brief volume may help grandchildren everywhere get a jump on the competition, if not on life itself. We can always hope that they might pass some of these stories on to their grandchildren, perhaps 50 or 100 years from now. What better legacy?

"Times are changing! We are about to have more "senior citizens" in this country than ever before. Products, advertising, entertainment, and services are becoming more focused on this older generation. It is a wonderful time to grow older. Yes, our world is being transformed around us faster than ever, and we need to evolve with it. Men have learned to change diapers, and women can be construction workers. We have exchanged household help for food processors, cooking for take-out, and leisurely dining for fast foods. We used to read more, listen to the radio, and write letters; now we watch TV, talk on the telephone, and fax. It is written that there is "a time to weep and a time to laugh." The trick is to know which one to do when. Given a choice, let's go with the laughter." --

Just looking back on when I started writing, it is truly amazing. I remember my first paper, entitled "Encouragement." I remember trying to bring a group together, which I called Networking Friends Network. That is when I thought of instead of just having a regular flyer, I thought of the idea of inspiring people, with positive thoughts on my flyer. After that point on, I continued to write encouraging papers. I noticed the papers started to increase to the point that I decided to create a book of my writings, called A Little Bit of My Every Thought. I am truly happy at the response that I have received from people. Mrs. Martha Parker, a wonderful person and close family friend told me that my writing made her look at her own life differently. I plan to continue inspiring and motivating people. I believe that life should be as pleasant as possible despite life's challenges. One way that people can be happy is by helping others. Remember, it is always more blessed to give than to receive.

We know what pain, rejection, anger, bitterness, and loneliness look and feel like. We know how those emotions intensify when it is from our own family members, those that are supposed to love and take care of us but are not always successful at it. I wanted to feel what others had, to read it, and to experience it just a little. As others shared what their mom relationships were like, that pain was deeper than I realized before. I no longer wanted to live through your experiences; instead, I wanted to let you know I get it a little. Through some real honest moments came some really raw memories and painful truths, not just my own but yours as well. I found myself weeping and praying for all of you that shared your stories with me. I know I needed to go on a journey with God as my guide to find my "missing mom pieces" so I could heal and pass that on to you. So I pray you take this journey as you figure out what your missing mom pieces are so you may feel peace in the pain, strength in the sorrow, and healing in the days to come. Are you ready?
