A Personal Cultural Reflection

Given the tremendous influx of European immigration to the United States in the latter decades of the 19th Century and early decades of the 20th, like many Americans, I can trace my ancestry back 5 or 6 generations, but there it pretty much stops. From there back, my heritage essentially becomes countries of origin; names of people replaced by nations. I know my ancestors came from Germany, Poland and Ireland and a small handful of other nations, but when I try to use genealogy to answer Stuart’s question of “Who Am I?”, what insight could examining this diffusion of nationalities, each somewhat different from one another, possibly offer me? If I want to understand my own personal culture, my heritage shaped by the cultures and circumstances of my ancestors, if I am 9/16th’s German, 5/16th’s Polish and 1/16th Irish, does that mean my individual heritage is influenced along those same proportions? Am I going to need a calculator to figure out who I am and where I come from? Such is the challenge facing a Diffused American.

The Journey Of A Mother

For those who are fortunate enough to still be blessed by having your Mom with you, this is beautiful and for those of us who aren’t… it is even more beautiful. This is the first Mother’s Day that my dear momma is not going to be physically here, but I do know that she will be with me spiritually , as I feel her presence every day…not the same, but it is still a heartwarming feeling.

Believe In Yourself

Feeling undeserving of good things usually stems from a lack of self-esteem which may be traced back to childhood. Dysfunctional families, lack of support from teachers or guardians and lack of acceptance from peers are common culprits of poor self-esteem.

The danger of such negative childhood experiences is that children may carry their trauma thru their adult life. The trauma may have a destructive impact on their thought patterns and relationships, among other things. Because feelings of low self-worth are brought on by trauma, they may consciously or unconsciously believe that they do not deserve the good things that can come to them.

Sausage: Making the Good Out of Who Knows What

Sausage. Who amongst the omnivores here doesn’t love sausage? Going back to it’s origins, sausage is the respectable older sibling of the hot dog: let’s take cuts of meat that would otherwise be unpalatable to the western tongue, grind them up with a few regular cuts and stuff the results into something that is 0usable and easily cooked, I.e., intestine casings.
