Melting pot is a metaphor for heterogeneous which has a Greek origin meaning different kinds or composed of different parts. In today’s society if has come to mean bringing together many nationalities, especially in the United States.
Melting pot is also a process in which distinct elements are brought together to produce something new.
Life’s melting pot consists of many different parts or elements. As they come together, they create something new, our lives. Our lives have a beginning: at birth, a journey: our daily lives and an end: our death.
The many elements that come together in our lives consist of family, friends, employment, health, activities and monetary gain. Some we have control over and others we do not. The only control we have is how we react to these elements and the decisions we make regarding them.
My life has been very diverse with joys and sorrows. I have been a wife, a mother, a journalist, business owner, cancer survivor , disabled and a widow.
I have had a wealth of experiences. Some of these experiences are pure happiness and joy. Others have been overwhelming and devastating. My goal is to share my life’s melting pot with others in an effort to a supply helpful information and support from my knowledge and from my experiences.
