Life isn't meant to be done on your own. Build a tribe/a community to help celebrate your success and be there for your struggles.

Idols such as identity, envy, success can sneak up on us and consume us.

This chapter discusses how our kids may make poor choices in life and how we should/can respond.

Traditions are fun for families, but as kids get older, time doesn't always allow those traditions to continue so as a parent, I need to be sure that I'm not making my daughters feel guilty or obligated to continue to these traditions. Flexibility is key!

This is just a quick shout out to a book I've been reading called, "Empty Nest Full Life" by Jill Savage.
