WELCOME TO COLLATERAL WISDOM

A few years ago, Sophie made the following request:   "Grandma will you write down everything you have learned from life that you think I need to know and put it in a book for me, for my birthday?"  I started thinking immediately about how to proceed with her request which initially seemed relatively simple. The magnitude of the project  has contributed to a collection of written material which represents years of recording insights, stories, emotional reflections and reactions to the events of  life. My personal psychological task at this age, is to develop a legacy for those who follow after me.  Therefore, I dedicate this work to Sean, Mattin, Sophie, Shannon and Tarra and to you, Dear Reader.
