About Me — Jamie Golob
Writer, artist, and reiki practitioner
One of my favorite aspects of Medium is its sense of community. There truly is nothing more critical to living a fulfilling and meaningful existence than participating in life! I’m grateful for the opportunity to share in so many of the awesome experiences and stories that I find on this platform. In that spirit, I’d like to offer a bit about myself, joining the ranks of the countless others sharing their mini-biographies.
My humble roots
I grew up in Detroit Michigan… in a Polish household. Some of my most vivid memories are between the age of five and eight. I think those tender years are the most important for us. Most of all, I remember my great grandmother.
My great grandparents, on both sides, were originally from Poland and settled in America in the hopes of living the American dream. Growing up I can still recall my great grandmother and grama bickering back and forth in Polish while cooking on hot summer evenings. Unfortunately, I never got to know either of my grandfathers because they both passed away far before their time.
The women in my family possess incredible strength. My great grandmother, in particular, was almost superhuman. She made meals from scratch, worked a full-time job…
