By experiences not stuff
People always used to ask us, when our gingers Rainer & Atticus were tiny tots, “Why travel with your kids if they won’t even remember it?”
We have always believed that even when the RAM of our brain cannot recall our nascent
experiences on planet Earth, our HARD DRIVE does. And so our kids simply never had a choice when it came to travel. By the time they were 4 and 6, respectively, they had already been to Spain, Mexico and a dozen states across the USA.
As Americans, one of the only things my wife and I feel unabashedly patriotic about is our National Park System (we have been to more than 200 of the 400+ units spread across
the nation). Before our boys were old enough to remember, they had stood at the base of the Lincoln Memorial, climbed Bubble Rock in Acadia, splashed in waves at
Fire Island National Seashore, and hiked through Joshua Tree National Park.
Today, when we ask Atticus, now 11, and Rainer, 13, if they recall some of those early trips and destinations, they often do not. Their brains remember, though, as neuro-pathways are etched by early experiences to form the people we become as fully conscious children and adults. Despite not recalling our early adventures, both boys became fully accustomed to travel and all that goes with it.
So many parents have complained to us that, by the time THEY are ready to travel with their children (because now they will “remember it” and the money won’t be
“wasted”) their KIDS aren’t ready for travel. They whine in the car, on the plane, and absolutely do not appreciate the process of being pushed out of their comfort zone. We say: all the more reason not to wait.
Analogy time: We read board books to both of our boys from the moment they could open their eyes. Could they read along? Do they remember those books? No. Did reading to and with them every day carve pathways of
literacy and connection into their brains? Yes. Is it a coincidence both boys were reading independently by the time they were three? We don’t think so.
These days, when we tell our boys we are going to Egypt in a few months, they raise their hands in triumph, then go on with whatever it was they were doing. When
our departure date rolls around, they know how to pack, what to bring, what to expect, how to manage wait times and unforeseen obstacles, and how to appreciate the small things and unique moments experienced along the way.
All that time we put in, traveling with them as infants and toddlers, pays off every time we step
out the door with these tall redheads who now have questions and interests of their own. The more they communicate about their travel likes and dislikes, too, the more we tailor our adventures to their needs.
Our advice? DO NOT WAIT!!! Take that trip whether your children will retain conscious memories or not. Travel whether you think the money will be “worth it” or not. We promise: it will be. You will all reap the rewards, both in the moment and far beyond.
I’ve been attempting to expand my wine business in my hometown in White Plains. For the past 7 years, I do play the lottery in my spare time, but on this blessed day I came across an article about Lord Meduza’s spell to win the lottery. I contacted Lord Meduza to see if it would work and after I agreed to his terms and conditions for completing the task for me, he performed his magical powers for me and within 48 hours, he provided me with the numbers I needed to play the lottery, and I followed his directions. I found out at the store that I was the winner of a $105 million jackpot. For a moment I felt uncertain but I looked again and I saw it was real. As I speak to you, My level has been elevated from grass to grace and I’ve come to know that life is more spiritual and with the Lord Meduza spell, you can actually win the lottery.. Please assist me in thanking him and his contacts are listed as follows;

As I sit down to reflect on the past few months, I can’t help but feel a mix of anger, betrayal, and disbelief. I was one of the many Canadians who fell victim to the Maple Leaf Digital Growth Fund, a scheme that promised a seemingly irresistible 5% monthly return on investments. At first, it sounded like a golden opportunity, especially in a world where traditional savings accounts barely keep up with inflation. Little did I know that I was stepping into a trap that would cost me and my friends dearly.It all started when my close friend, Mark, approached me with the idea. He had been raving about the fund, sharing how he had already made a
WhatsApp: +1 (920) 408‑1234 significant profit. Mark was always the savvy investor in our circle, and his enthusiasm was contagious. He convinced me and a few others that this was a chance we couldn’t afford to miss. We trusted him, and that trust led us to invest a combined total of $4.7 million, with each of us believing we were making a smart financial decision.As the months went by, the returns came in as promised, and I felt a sense of relief and excitement. I even encouraged a couple of my colleagues to invest, thinking I was helping them secure their financial futures. However, everything changed when withdrawals were suddenly suspended. Panic set in as we tried to access our funds, only to be met with vague excuses and delays. It was then that the reality hit us: we had been duped.When PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY stepped in, I felt a glimmer of hope. Their team of recovery specialists quickly identified the operation as a Ponzi scheme, revealing that the returns we had received were simply payments made from the investments of newer participants. I was devastated. The realization that I had not only lost my money but had also influenced others to invest was a heavy burden to bear.Their skills were apparent as they navigated the intricacies of the case. When they revealed that they had successfully retrieved all the funds, a profound sense of relief washed over me. Such a positive outcome is uncommon in these scenarios, and I felt immense gratitude for their hard work.This ordeal has imparted a crucial lesson about the necessity of thorough research and skepticism in the investment landscape. I’ve come to realize that if an opportunity seems too good to be true, it often is. I’ve learned to exercise greater caution when it comes to encouraging others in financial decisions. I’m thankful to have my money restored.
