At a recent family wedding as I looked at my family-- from where I come from- I couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging.  I celebrate the relationships and the memories made with my extended family (aunts, uncles and cousins).  We come together with a shared history and traditions from the past, and created new ones.  We also have the ability to create our own "framily" with friends (the ones we pick, not assigned).  What a gift to be gathered with people who care for you, show up, support you, cheer for you, challenge you (in a good way) and accept you.  

If you are in a new place, or new season- you are looking to belong.  Getting roots down is important.  So look for those folks that are a match.  Look for your tribe.  We all crave a place & people to whom we belong.
