Now Is The Time

The pandemic has taken much away. But it's also an ideal time to grow the connection within your family.

Isolation has meant more time at home for many of us. And even if you are still working at home, you'll have less time in transit or out at work functions, or even out socialising with others. You have more time to be with family.

Now is a time full of potential.

Now is the time to share stories. No family should come out of this pandemic not knowing the story of how their parents met & fell in love. Share some family history.

Now is the time to dream, to open up hope. What ambitions does everyone have? What experiences do they want to have in the future?

Now is the time to discover who your family is. They will update often and it's easy to miss the changes. Ask them what they like. Ask them what they are pondering.

Now is a great time to share life lessons. What wisdom do you want to impart? 

“When this “temporary normal” is over, the connections you strengthen now will endure as the world opens up.”

Now is the time to make memories, to play games, to be you. How do you want your children to remember you?

Now is the time to tell those around how you feel about them. Have a heart to heart. You don't need to wait for milestone birthdays or weddings to let people know what they mean to you. It's more meaningful when it comes at a time when it's not expected.

Now is the time to connect, to deepen connection. 

When this "temporary normal" is over, the connections you strengthen now will endure as the world opens up.

It's an opportunity most of us won't have again.

Let's talk.
