Ripple Connection Question of the Week
Given that I am back home in Albuquerque I figured it was appropriate to focus on a Ripple Connection Question that is relevant to what I am experiencing this week.
What is one of your
fondest memories of
your childhood home?
For me it was the underground fort. My best friend Kevin Massis and I built a fort that was awesome! We had escape hatches, a common war room and our own personal rooms and "king" seating. It was the coolest thing ever! We had many adventures and of course the infamous FORT WARS! Yes we engaged in hand to hand genuine dirt clod bombings of other kid's forts. Of course we also had to protect our Taj Majal fort from falling victim to some enemy attack. Oh those were the days and coming home this week and standing on the sacred spot that our fort had been on really brings me back.
So what's your answer to the question? Just how much might you discover about someone you want to know better by asking them this question.
Ripple On!!!

Although I can't pin it down to one specific memory, my childhood in rural New Brunswick is certainly linked to a strong sense of place.
The sweet smell of the forest...
The salty taste of the ocean...
The lingering sounds of my Dad playing guitar in the basement...
The solid comfort of my childhood bed...
The welcome sight of "la butte à Médée", the big hill that signals my arrival "home"...
I've lived away for over 20 years, yet my senses bring me back there in an instant.
OK, now I'm really looking forward to going back home in September!!
Enjoy your family time, Steve, and safe travel to you & yours...
PAX,
First things first Steve. How do I download that free chapter of your book? I did it a while ago and lost track of it (whoops) but now I have a little reading time on my hands.
Thanks......Marty
