Hi, we're Ann and all (Aynetal3). We are 58-years and am a Multiple. We have three adult sons and their families and am in a 23-year relationship with our best friend Rich. We have in our home Dakota, our 5-year old collie/golden retriever service dog, and Missy our 19-year old black kitty. Oh, and we keep our psychiatrist Dr. Marvin in business ;) We had been studying at a Master's level Educational Psychology and Adult Education - e-learning, technology and design. We enjoy a strong interest in Self-Regulation and Multiplicity/Dissociation (DID, but w/o so much disorder). We do a lot of curating through reading and writing, and we utilize Word, Mindmapping, Evernote, a few favorite books, and social media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Speakerdeck, and Learnist). We believe in the power of the BLOG and "all of our" ability to validate People, especially through sharing conversation, video, and art/images.

Hi. This is us again. Today is Saturday, December 02, 2006 and I was very pleased to find our Grandmother during a time that we could talk. We started the interview at about 11:30 pm. I hadn’t realized when we started that she had something on the stove. True to form my Grandmother thought first of us. I hope I can do as much for her. She always has so many, many neat thoughts. I very much see pictures and images as she talks and I feel myself transposed to other times and places. This video is about an hour long. There were a few qualifying questions like name and age, but then we slipped back into a session talking primarily about what she remembered about her Mother. A special treat in time was hearing how much her mother and family was and is honored. She stated that back in her day, we were taught to love our family. I think a lot of my Grandmother and her values. I hope you enjoy this session.
