Joy
Joy
Do you see it?
Or, feel it?
Maybe, a little of both.
Love bubbles up inside,
So much love,
The champagne of it overflows.
Adding to this,
Rich tapestry of family,
A granddaughter is born.

I started thinking about the qualities of a good guardian when I was asked to take part in a new university course on guardianship. I’m sure there are many more ingredients of an exemplary guardian and I’d like to hear from you with your suggestions.
So, I ask…what else should we look for in a “good” guardian and can we teach it?
Let me know what you think at
