It's important to be intentional to find and connect with your community. Family is community. If you were not blessed to have a solid, biological family, seek after your "Chosen Family" that mutually supports each other in all seasons of life.

“There are times that you get so busy in your life that you really have to stop and be intentional to spend time with your family, your friends, those people that are important to you, and we don’t always do that.”
Connection... It’s not always easy because there’s friction, but we also need to remember, like my sister-in-law says, ‘sometimes we have to have hard conversations so that you don’t brush things under the rug.’ We can then move past them, finding growth and healing.
“Be intentional about finding those right people in your life that bring you joy and build you up and don’t suck the life out of you.”
When we lose a loved one, we rediscover our family's importance. We recognize what we lost.
