Sending love from the French Riviera.
I feel blessed to have spent the week with the people I treasure so deeply.
And although there is no such thing as a perfect family, we have spent some magical moments and other moments were challenging. Being together 24/7 with 3 teenagers brings up lots of different opinions and tension.
And we can have all sorts of expectations before leaving or try to put up the picture of a perfect family, but that only creates pressure and lacks authenticity.
My 3 treasures are my biggest teachers in challenging me, provoking me, questioning me and at the same time loving and supporting me.
One of my favourite quotes says it all: if you think you're enlightened, go spend a week with your family :)
The people closest to us teach us tolerance, expansion of our hearts, profound connection and unconditional love.
And there lies the biggest gift, if we are willing to see...
As always loving you,
Barbara.
