Manage episode 273351792 series 2798126
What is family? What does it mean to you? What about situations when there isn't what's commonly considered a family, with parents, siblings or blood-relatives. The desire to belong, to be loved and accepted doesn't change. While there is a value placed on family, it can mean something different to each of us. The value of family can extend to community, to sisterhood and brotherhood. It extends to each individual's choice of who they call family and what meaningful relationships they form. Family sees the heart and understands that other things and influences connect and bind us. It's people with open hearts and a willingness to love and accept you unconditionally for who you are. It's who you can depend on for support, who understands your values and likewise, it's being the best person you can be so that you can inspire those that you love and care about just as they love and care about you.
It's not always about being connected biologically. Family sees the heart and understands that other things and influences connect and bind us. It's people with open hearts and a willingness to love and accept you unconditionally for who you are. It's who you-can-depend on for support, who understands your values and likewise, it's being the best person you can be so that you can inspire those that you love and care about just as they love and care about you.
We are a community that mirrors a strong family full of diversity where we all come together to share our unique gifts as well as our wounds... An enlightened community which supports all of its members in reaching their full potential as human beings. I believe we can become true creators of our destinies rather than being captives of our past. One that allows for true freedom as we take responsibility for ourselves and for our extended human family.
