Whether or not you have your own children or grandchildren, you too can be a Green Bubbie-the secret is to know how to nurture those who are growing right in front of you! And if you're lucky enough to meet a Green Bubbie, she will become the "accidental relative you meet on the road to finding yourself." Whether you're a Green Bubbie or one of her "sprouts," you can become part of the very special world of organic, intergenerational relationships.About the Author: Dr. Ruth Pinkenson Feldman is a visionary leader-an award-winning and inspirational Jewish educator.
