Familyness is different for everyone!
Your familyness will look different from my familyness.
We all see familyness differently and I’m not here to tell you how your familyness should look.
One thing I do want you to know is this: You’re not doing it wrong!
Comparing what we’ve each got and then trying to decide who has more wonderful familyness, who is doing familyness worse than you or better than you, or who has familyness figured out more, is NOT where it’s at.
My hope is that you’ll come here and love your own familyness even more.
To me, familyness means being connected, present, on the same team, happy, looking for fun ways to get through the hard stuff together, quoting movies (Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre to name a couple) and TV shows (anyone else love Psych and Highlander?), having parties in our backyard, talking about spiritual things together, seeing our own story by photographing it, and helping the world by working locally in our community.
building connecting points into our day
recognizing that the purpose of the chores and other things we do is to strengthen our relationships
Great familyness doesn’t mean you’re perfect.
We aren’t a perfect family who has everything figured out!
(We fight, disagree, and know how to push each others’ buttons, like every family.)
No one needs to be that kind of definition of perfect or the pressure that goes with it.
Our family is already perfect, though (in a different way than you’re thinking).
If we change the definition of perfect to mean whole…we are already whole. Each person is incredibly and deeply amazing. When we put those people together it makes us all more than the sum of our parts. Which means our familyness is already through the roof! (and so is yours!)
We just want to be seeing all of the ways we are whole…everyday.
I hope that as you look through posts and ideas you’ll find things that resonate with you, things that mean familyness to you.
You’ll also find things that don’t resonate or that you don’t particularly like. That’s fine. Please don’t leave! Every idea won’t be the answer for you.
Everyone has to figure out what their own familyness is going to look like. What is offered here, is help, to discover what your own familyness is for you.
If something speaks to you here, try it. I believe that when you love something you see, it’s because your voice already told you at some earlier point in your life that it was a good idea. Connecting with it is just a reminder of how important it is to you.
We are always trying to change our story-but what if your familyness is awesome, right now? Just the way it is? If you really believed that, what would you see?
When you come here I hope your eyes will be opened to how incredibly cool and awesome and fantastic what you’ve already got IS and that you’ll walk away with ways to see, everyday, how in love you already are with your own family and marriage.
Familyness IS about what you SEE….
