Starting this New Year has been one filled with uncertainty. Will the economy get better, will any other financial institution collapse, and will the new president be able to handle all these problems. It seems now more than ever we are all longing to find community, friends, and be close to our loved ones. We need comfort and to feel connected to people since the external world does not provide us with much. So many people have said they spent the holidays with friends and family and choosing to stay home versus going to parties or traveling. Maybe with our world seeming so big and out of control we are stopping to take inventory of what matters. The people we love, protecting our community and environment, and spending more meaningful time together.
Over the holidays my family and I spent hours talking, laughing and seeing people we had lost contact with. My teenagers asked me to bring out the box of questions and engage in discussions with them and their friends. What a treat. Seven teenagers debating over Is there ever a reason to go to war? I encourage all of you to have conversations at home or parties we all need to connect right now. Please let us know which questions you have asked and if you have created any new ones we can all try.
Happy New Year Everyone!
