Our Family At Christmas = Gratitude!

Alli, Ron, myself, Kevin, Matt, Marita, Brian, Kristin - we all surround Grandma Nan with smiles and love and celebration!

There is so much to celebrate! My gratitude list overflows. Mom is finally home, and home for good! Our family is healthy and strong. The capacity within myself, my marriage, my/our children to ride the waves of life's challenges grows stronger with each passing year as does our capacity to open and deepen our hearts.

My prayer, always, is that we may all open to the preciousness of our lives. Right along side all the messiness, tears, heartaches is this abundance of beauty, joy, love, blessing. May we all continue to expand in our experiences of opening to it all, this life we are each given. This is my daily prayer, my daily gratitude practice. 

Individually and collectively, our family has come so far. This has been my great life passion - to transform a legacy of generational tragedy and loss to one of healing, beauty, love. Miracles happen. Blessed be.

May we all be at peace. May our hearts remain open. May we know the beauty of our true nature. May we be healed.

With gratitude and love ~ Molly

Sharing cards, pictures, gifts with Mom/Grandma Nan

Every moment is priceless

Our excellent Christmas adventure continues at a Thai Restaurant

We all converge at Grandma Nan's apartment to shower Mom with gifts from the heart ♥

There is growing fun and happiness in the air!

Kristin and Marita hold up old family photographs we gift Grandma Nan with to create her wall of family photos in her new apartment. Among the treasures I found are these of my mother as a little girl and as an infant held by her mother. ♥
