The DNA of Relationships

Welcome to our blogspot. Please join us with your comments and enquiries.

There's nothing quite like having a place where you feel unconditionally accepted. It's in our nature to need a place belonging, and this need is heightened when we journey through troubles and hardship. I, for one, wish the path of life could be smoother, fair, or simply less injust. But sometimes it hits hard, and we need solace and understanding more than we need advice or correction.
Being accepted and understood is often the first step to healing. I can't change the past, but I sure do want to move forward into the future with a sense that I'm not all screwed up. So healing is esential, but it also does not stand alone because to fully heal means we must grow. Growing through the troubles in our lives is hard work. For those familiar with the 12 steps of recovery, we know that we won't achieve recovery if we don't "work" the steps. So yah, growth requires effort and intentionality. But it also produces awesome results and increases the sense of belonging and healing.

So, lets experiment with the DNA of relationships by finding ways to belong, heal and grow together!

Looking forward to connecting with you on the journey.
