I’ve been struggling for the last couple of days as to what to blog about my final “awesome” entry.? I decided instead of just picking one awesome thing, I’d lump a few together and simply call it community. ? It’s hard to sum up and articulate the wonderful community or I should say communities I am a part of. ?I have an incredible family that includes a huge extended family community … with dozens of aunts and uncles – probably close to 75 first cousins… 40 nieces and nephews….. we are so blessed. ?I also have an awesome church community – both at the church I am now a part of St. Boniface RC and also the one I grew up in Zurich Mennonite. ?My kids and our family are part of an awesome school community at St. Boniface School. ?I am also a part of a community of photographers which is called “Chick Clicks” which supports and encourages women photographers (yeah!!) This morning I was also at another community called “Heart to Heart”.? It’s a great group for ladies in the Zurich area that meets in the spring and fall for 10 weeks at a time on Tuesday mornings.? We have a book study, social time and an elective.? It’s really an incredible program.? It offers free childcare so that Mom’s can have a morning to just relax and enjoy visiting with other women.??? I think community is such an incredible thing…. to support one another and grow together.? I know they say it takes a community to raise a child, but I think it goes WAY past that.? There are many times in my adult life that I think my community and networks have been the strength that kept me going.?? I hope that if each of you has a network of family and friends and community…. and if not, there a tons out there to join in – you just gotta look for them!? Here are a couple photos I took a couple weeks ago at Heart to Heart…
….isn’t she the cutest!!
That concludes my “awesome” entries….. I’ll be back to blogging in my usual manner soon!? I have a couple of sessions I’ll be posting this week.? Until then have a great day!!
