The research shows that having community and connection in our lives is one of the most important things. It’s not only connected to our physical well-being and our longevity; it’s also connected to our happiness and mental health. And yet we find that making and maintaining solid friendships is no easy task! Today we spend some time unpacking this important topic, focusing on how we make new friends as adults. We start with our current Highs and Lows (i.e., weekend fun, physical sluggishness, stress, and establishing priorities). Then we shift into Today’s Topic. Next we share a couple of Tips & Tricks homemade granola bars and jam in oatmeal). Finally, we close out with Facing Forward to share what we want to make true in our lives in the next two weeks as we work to cultivate lives full of joy, purpose, and community.
