A Time to "Gather Your Tribe"

No matter what holidays you celebrate or where your spirituality takes you, this time between Christmas and New Years is always strange. From the business side, it's about wrapping up loose ends, dealing with a few things on the Customer Service side of life, and winding down. But there's still a sense of urgency as we all wonder, "Okay, what do I still need to knock off for 2023?"

On the personal side, many of us are catching up with people we've not been in touch with as often as we'd like. From holiday cards to emails, phone calls, and social media, people we care about become more accessible. Just as the rush to get things done before the holidays, now is the time we tend to be more reflective.
​
I've written a lot about the routine Sheila and I have to read something inspirational each morning after breakfast. This morning's reading seemed particularly relevant to this time of year, when we are connecting with so many people in our lives.
To create a richer life, gather your tribe and let them know how important they are to you.
Spending time with your tribe fosters connection and understanding.
Life is designed to be shared, and when we identify the people who make our lives better just be being in it,
we foster a sense of belonging. A tribe can be a little or as large as you desire.
Choose those who uplift, inspire, and interact with a spirit of love.

​Emily Silva
​And here's my point - take advantage of the change in pace this week. Stay away from the "negators" in your life, but make an effort to reach out to the people who make your life better. There's an old line I've always loved, "Angels do exist, but sometimes they don't have wings and are called friends."

Go find your "angels." Take a minute and think about everybody in your life. Is there anybody you've missed you want to catch up with before the year ends? Everything we do, from close friends to supportive vendors, takes a village or a "tribe," as Emily Silva wrote above. 

And to my village/tribe...I'd be lost without you, including my readers. Thanks to your feedback and input, life just keeps getting better. It's not always easier, but it's ALWAYS better!

Happy Last Tuesday of 2023!

In what way does the author emphasize the significance of connecting with others during the holiday season and relate it to their morning routine? regard <a href="https://it.telkomuniversity.ac.id/">Telkom University</a>
