Some say that we need to grow where we are planted, but there are some people that need to plant themselves, in order to grow. My ancestors were from Germany. How about yours? France? China? Africa? We all need the good soil.
Peace.

Ireland and (the Micmac area of) Canada — a wondrous blend of two feisty independent nations. 😉
Yes! Absolutely! I’ve been to Canada, and love Ottawa. I really want to see Nova Scotia. I can’t wait to see Ireland someday. Peace my friend and have a great Sunday.
Thank you — and you as well.
England, Ireland and a dash of France.
Yay! Wonderful soil to grow in! Ireland and France are at the top of my list to visit, and I’ve been to the London area. Peace and have a great weekend!
That is a great way to look at. I have no roots and feel great about it. My home is planet earth.
Awesome! You are thinking global! Peace my friend.
I think I do. But I have to thank my parents for that. They moved away from where I was born and I couldn’t feel home where I lived. I blamed them for that many years and today I am very thankful about that 🙂 Have a nice Sunday, Nicodemas! 🙂
Greece, Italy and Germany
Thank you Mary! What a wonderful combination. I’ve always wanted to see Greece and Italy. Peace my friend and every good blessing.
Nice though, mine are all from India 🙂
Wonderful! I really enjoy the bloggers from India, and people I have met in person over the years. Thank you Alok and peace!
Argentina. But before, my ancestors were from Italia and Euskal Herria. I’m french by chance !
Awesome! You have quite a beautiful heritage. Thank you for your wonderful comments Ada. Peace!

You have a rich heritage! Peace my friend.

Awesome! Then soil must be a good soil! Thank you for your comments. Peace and blessings to you.
Just…. sso universally perfect
Afro Caribbean and German. My family now lives in several countries. It was interesting to grow up with two distinct culture. Growing up in a Commonwealth country, my education at home and at school was Euro centred and that felt “normal.” But outside of classes, I would be asked if I was from somewhere else. It’s been a feature of my life, being from somewhere else. I guess I’m comfortable being everywhere on Earth because of that. People seem to need an anchor for you so they can relate to who you are and understand what you’re going to do next. I enjoy not giving everyone the satisfaction of putting me in a box. x
Wow, I love your comments. Your background sounds rich! Sometimes coming from more than one culture can give us strength, and makes it easier for us to be global, or to think more globally. At other times it can be difficult for children growing up, because they want to “fit in” but they are not sure where that is. Even with these circumstances though in the long run, I think it helps them to understand people that are different than they are. And we sure could use more of that kind of understanding. Peace, and thank you!
