A friend was bemoaning (justly) we haven't been dreaming and imagining for a while. I think we've all been kinda head down surviving the winter and *waves hand at everything*
But it's spring now, and time for hope to come back to life at least.
Thusly I present a new tag:
#ifIHadABillionDollars
What would you do with a billion dollars? What would you build, create, solve, cultivate...?
[social cue: this is not the place to rant politics, we've got the rest of the Internet for that]
Answer: If I had a billion dollars:
I would purchase a huge piece of land in a rural area, and build little residential units each with a large area for gardening.
In a main "house" would reside kind, thoughtful counsellors; excellent cooks and assistants who understand the importance of a balanced diet free of unnecessary additives; and a doctor and nurse.
On the land I would add a barn with goats, horses, cows,. geese and chickens, and other livestock plus assorted dogs and cats to roam on the property and interact with residents.
I would invite adults who were suffering because of childhood abuse, especially, those who lived under the "care" of a "child welfare" system.
It would be a safe refuge for people to learn to cope with childhood trauma, and experience hope again.
edit: and everything would be free of charge.
