Family

I am so thankful for my family. They are a diverse and wonderful addition to my community. Some of them have been with me from the beginning (obviously), and others have become more and more a part of my daily life.

I feel that having a strong sense of connection with those you spend the most time with is integral to a positive life. Without support and nurturing, we can become stale and bitter. However, with continued exploration of yourself and integrating with your family's dreams and creations, you will find ever-increasing delight.

I know many folks have challenges with their family, and I am glad I have not gone down that path. Sure, sometimes relationships can become strained. These are perfect opportunities to step back and reevaluate your role in your relationships. As we come to recognize what we do love about our family, we can let go of petty slights and disagreements.

Have a wonderful weekend!
