Chosen Family

I'm lucky. I have a pretty great family. It's not perfect (it's full of people, sooooo...) but it's a collection of people who respect each other, who have each other's backs, who support each other. We don't always agree, but we're always family. On top of my family of birth, is my chosen family, chief among that group is this laughing person, Emilie. We don't live near each other anymore, but we can get on Zoom and it's like nothing has changed, and I'm grateful to have that in my life, to have this person as my sister. I know many people don't have the kind of birth family I have, but you can choose the people who are your family. Name them as family. You can even have a ceremony where you commit yourselves to each other (Emilie and I did that eons ago). Family is important, but you have agency over what that is for you.

    You can find some short thoughts here, some personal moments, and other nuggets. I hope you'll join me on The Journey.
