Who is your tribe?

In sitting here thinking about what to tell you about gratitude today that might be an inspiration.   I am compelled to share that I was blessed to spend some time with my "tribe" this weekend - you know, that community of people that just "get you" - warts and all! These are the people I suggest you seek out immediately if possible - before you become depleted. I feel amazingly recharged and HOPE you will too.

I am hopeful that you know who I am taking about in your own life but if you are just too low to even name them in your head I am referring to those people you know that leave you feeling uplifted - like you are a better person for having been in their presence! Take a minute and get the picture of them in your head...now BREATHE for a moment...hold it...and let it out. Make a plan to connect with one of those people. Put it in your phone as a reminder - every day if you need to be prompted but max 3 days. Coffee, Skype, Facebook...LIVE and in person, even!
 
It is VERY important to take care of YOU! I believe this will bring you some peace in your heart which lends itself to being grateful. Once there, you can share it with the world and be there for others feeling low or depleted.  There is a bible verse that states perseverance leads to character and character HOPE! HOPE, being my favorite word and the reason I am grateful every day for every thing, is the reason for this blog. I want to share my HOPE for you and  lift you up! I really know you can reach out and make a connection - be bold and brave. :)
 
So, I'd love to hear from you...my very few readers...and I'd love to hear who you contacted/connected with and if it helped fill you up!
