FAMILY SESSION: committed

I wrote a post yesterday about authenticity...

(can you tell I'm reading a bunch of philosophy/psychology books here lately???) 

Being authentic means being vulnerable...letting your guard down...taking the chance of getting "beaten down" and yet being able to rise up again in strength if that does happen...

There is such freedom and safety in being authentic when you are surrounded by people that are  cheering you on no matter if you fail or succeed...

and when you have that, you can't help but feel that love bubbling up inside...and then you become decided, committed...to give it your all...

I've watched this couple for a few years now...and that idea of "committment" comes to mind everytime I see them...

They cheer each other on...they look for ways to connect, to give it everything they've got...

and then that translates into their parenting...into their family life...

It's a power house family I'm tellin' ya!!!

What a pleasure to hang with them!
