Did you know that today is International Day of Family?
It’s important to pause and think about all the different family make ups in our communities and appreciate the value of family.
Not everyone’s family is by blood, most of mine isn’t!! Family can include household members, friends, work family, anyone who you consider a family to you.

Hi @ArraDreaming
I just wanted to reach out to say thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with us - I love this 😊
Absolutely! Families come in all different shapes and sizes and I really like how you mentioned that ‘not everyone’s family is by blood.’
This has definitely been the case for me and I have no doubt that so many other people would be able to relate to this too 😊
Thank you so much again for sharing 😊
Take care,
ShiningStar 💜
