Family epiphany, spirit

Finally in 2025, we all got to visit Sperry Chalet together. It felt like a now-or-never proposition at this stage in our family’s life. Travel is not hereditary. Nor is family travel hereditary. i’ve never owned a new car. Saving money on car payments is my lifestyle choice.

Family epiphany?

Yes.

Life is hard.

Life is challenging.

Life is glorious.

Life is scary.

Life is your main job.

Forgiveness, patience, kindness, surrender, peace…these things are not genetically hereditary.

If your family has always had these traits as a family foundation, one family member isn’t mandated to live that way.

Conversely, if your family is tense, anxious, grudge-filled, resentful, impatient, one family member can break free and make their own emotional-lifestyle choices.
