[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 604601, member: 13542"] Thanks for the update Barbara. Interesting developments about your granddaughter.........well, perhaps you, like me, will be raising a teenage girl...........holy moly. Quite the learning experience! The story about the tattoo on your daughter's head is also interesting. There is so much we don't know, so much is a mystery. Years ago while traveling through the Amazon jungle in Peru, I met a Culandero (Shaman, healer) who worked on my chronic back pain and just as he told me would happen, within a couple of weeks after he worked on me, ALL the pain was gone. For years Dr's and everyone else told me that I would ALWAYS be in pain. Go figure. There is a lot we can't explain or even understand........it's seems reasonable to me to keep an open mind and not get trapped in what I "think" I know to be true. It sure takes practice to think that way, but geez, at least for me, it opens a lot of doors of perceptions previously nailed shut by my own judgments..............
