One thing my perfectly imperfect family has taught me is family is what you make it. I have a handful of nieces and nephews that keeps me smiling every day. Do not get me wrong, we all have our days. Despite life throwing curveballs, our family overcomes. I am a role model to my little ones, good or bad. Walking with a purpose and being myself unapologetically is imperative. Our connection is a give-and-take relationship. They learn from me, and I stay youth by learning from them. Be the foundation for the kids. It will keep you alive and well. 

Be thankful. 

Be the foundation.
