Family is Everything

It’s a sweet Saturday and I’m listening to the ingenious India Arie’s Come Back to the Middle. Thinking about how it is often said ‘family is everything’ and how the longer I live, the more accurate that statement seems.

Family is everything: the safety and the sickness, the abundance and the anger, the dreams and the disappointments, the triumphs and the trauma. Managing family relationships with all of these ebbs and flows takes skill and balance that I’m trying to build and practice everyday. Trying to learn and unlearn and relearn, to stay as close to the middle and as close to love as possible. #familyiseverything
