As I reflect on the elders’ wisdom, a powerful theme emerges: a life well-lived is a life of courage, authenticity, and deep connection. It’s a life where you dare to speak your truth, pursue your passions, and love with abandon. Where you prioritize adventure, savor the present, and treat your body as sacred. Where you risk vulnerability for the sake of genuine intimacy and have the courage to repair what’s broken.

3 Reasons Why ‘No Contact Families’ Are On The Rise

In this article, Mark Travers discusses the growing trend of adult children cutting off ties with their families, known as “no contact families.” According to a national survey, 27% of US citizens (68 million people) are estranged from a family member, with 10% experiencing estrangement from either a parent or child.

Well, sometimes they do, but it doesn't make sense, at least to me." - An anonymous estranged parent's perspective on the situation.”

Dear Reader, This week, I’ve been reflecting on the theme of surrender, and I suspect you might be wrestling with something that needs surrendering too. A memory from my second Camino surfaced.
