Granny D, Campaign Funding & Emphysema

I just met Granny D.

What an awesome wonderful human being.  A sparkle, and inner strength that could topple buildings given, the time, breath and a few bulldozers at her fingertips.  If she couldn't talkem down she'd knockem down.

She seems to believe that anything is possible and is out to create what she sees as important enough to devote her attention and loving life force.  I'm glad she chose us and America.

I'm not particularly political but after listening to her, I walked over and registered to vote for the first time in decades.

I also have her book titled
Granny D, You're Never Too Old to Raise a Little Hell

I'm into the third page a learned she has emphysema and has had it for the past 31 years.  We chatted a while and she shared she was told to breathe through her nose and has done that deliberately for the last thirty two years.

She coughs, wheezes and walked across a huge large land mass teaching butt-kicking campaign funding reform while still being kind.  She walked 3,200 miles, clear across America, emphysema and all.. Let's hear it for slow, even, easy, just walking, and nose breathing. This is part of the way emphysema can be held in check. The other is living foods, clean air and techniques I have developed.

In addition to her inner flame, she has a another advantage. She is short. I mean really short. Maybe near 5 foot tall. She looks up to practically everything. That makes good posture easier. With the exception of monkeys in business suits playing political power games she looks down on very little of anything. But that is more about her respect for land and creatures then her head's distance from the ground. Let's coin a word in her honor. Grandwoman.

I come from a family of very strong minded women. Without strong loving women to help bring some of us to our senses we would be in BIG trouble and probably missing limbs and vital organs from fighting endless, stupid battles with ourselves and others.

I HIGHLY recommend Granny D's book. For me it is about balance and  indomitable spirit. For her it seems to me about a cause to be passionate about and feeling useful... and that she certainly is

Either way YOU win by reading it. She is funny, wise, informative, and downright real.
