Whenever things aren't going as well as I'd hope, my grandma is one I can go to for positive redirection. And believe me, I'm not the only one who seeks her insight. My grandma is something like a beacon of hope to a lot of misguided youth in community because she maintains a devoted sense of right and wrong while also exuding much more compassion than the average person.
It occurred to me that a lot of people probably aren't as lucky to have someone like my grandma in their life, so I sat down with her and asked for some thoughts that she would like to share with everybody.
