for my children~remember your strength

We never know what life is going to bring. We can hope for the best and to have richness in every sense of the word, in our relationships, in our day-to-day lives, in our hearts and minds.

And often we do. We are so incredibly blessed. We have so much, all of us.

But life has a way of bringing the unexpected sometimes.

When faced with difficulty, remember your strength. Remember everything we have taught you and other wise people have taught you. Remember when you have overcome past difficulties. Have faith in yourself.

Don't be afraid. Be bold and strong and move forward.

Help each other out and remember you know how to stay calm. And most importantly, remember that you are never alone. God is always there, watching out for us, giving us strength.

So happy to have our family together. I've missed these moments. I love them so much.

Sky and I went for a day of service and connection and programs and Indian food. We were preparing for Amma's upcoming visit. The people were friendly, the food was tasty, the hummingbirds were adorable. There were so many of these wondrous creatures, getting their vital nutrition. A perfect metaphor for what the ashram does for people.

It's been a while since I posted live music from our family. Here's a video of Shawnie drumming to a Paramore song. He loves comments if you have a YouTube channel. :)

Seems like forever since we were there. But we were, and we celebrated together, and it was nice.
