I think it's wonderful how your grandson recognised his fears and how he asked for help. A lot of childhood dreams are true callings that we lose out on otherwise. I rediscovered how much I loved stories and storytelling as a child when I started writing. Thank you for sharing this lovely post. 💙

I've enjoyed a similar rebirth of my inner creative child with my writing as well. It is so obvious in retrospect amd so challenging to see with all the 'stuff' covering it up along the way. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement. I'm delighted you enjoyed it my storyteller friend. 🙏🏻

I can smell that coffee.

I won’t say anything about cleaning the machine… 🤣

An addition to your word of the day: “edificio” in Spanish means “building”. Languages are amazing.

I hope your grandson did awesome! He’s a very wise kid. I wonder where he got that from…!

Thanks for the awesome musings always.

Ikiquest is a judgment free zone...especially if I haven't cleaned the espresso machine. 🤣

Love the word edificio! Building, constructing, creating. That's what it is all about.

E was amazing if i say so myself. it was a marvelous production and I know he had a great time doing it.

It was and he did great. He sang everyone's songs for us once on the drive home from school. He knew them all.
