New Year

A Happy and very fulfilled New Year to all who read this. I have thought so much about the wonderful places I went to on my world tour.

Asia was so fine and I thought Shanghai by far the most beautiful city I know. Do go to see it if possible. When I said “If possible” I think really that anything is possible if we really want to do something and have a strong enough will, to workin every way to make it possible.

Old age in Asia is looked up to and its wisdom revered. Here when we are old,we are told what we should or should not do “for our own good.” No care home, not my doctor or my family thought I should go round the world and yet I had a very warm and lovely extra summer, I was treated so well on the air lines as I was alone and with a wheel chair, I was met with garlands and so very well cared for, I was a celebrity and loved it(!), I enjoyed giving my lectures and they were so well received and people said that they were inspired to go on in the ways advocated.

I am so glad that I did my own thing and I now can assimilate all those experiences.

GO FOR IT EVERYONE!

    Dear Phyllis

    Happy New Year. I really enjoyed reading about your experiences and will take your wisdom on board in 2008 - I think you have demonstrated that anything is possible if you want it enough.

    Good Luck with the second leg of your tour - what a great start to the year.

    Love Amanda

    Dear Amanda, Congratulations as Editor on your very fine MONTESSORI INTERNATIONAL magazine. It would warm the heart of Montessori as it has the breadth of inquiry and support with articles of which she would have had so much interest and approval. Congratulations and love, and deep respect, Phyllis
