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!

The other day after having a heated discussion with my seventeen year old daughter followed by another one from my fifteen year old daughter I wondered how would I survive these teen years. Then I realized I only have a few years left with them at home and I will miss these moments. So instead of my regular feeling stress, I felt gratitude for having this time with them. I guess what I realized also is we have a choice in how we react to things in our life, can’t control them. Which then made me think about this holiday season and all the uncertainty in the world today. I can’t control the stock market, terrorism, or my teenagers but I can choose the way I let it effect me.
The question of the week. What is your holiday wish this year? Mine is to appreciate those I love and not to let the uncertainty around me ruin the precious moments now. Please share any of your holiday wishes with us and please have a wonderful holiday season.

Heidi and I just got back from QVC. What a great experience we had with the people there and our host was amazing. We enjoyed sharing the Family Dinner Game with so many people and the importance of conversation with your friends and family.
I hope everyone has a special Thanksgiving filled with good food and good times. Please share with us any new traditions you have done at your celebration or if you have used the box of questions any good stories.
The question of the week is what is your favorite family tradition?
All the best,
