Designing a passionate life includes activities with families, which gives life meaning. I was reminded of this recently when I attended my husband's family reunion in St. Louis. People came from all over the country to gather and reconnect. The event was born because one young lady who connected with her cousin on Facebook, realized that she didn't really know her cousin.
I realize that Facebook can take a lot of time if you let it. However, if you use it wisely and in moderation it can be a great tool to connect with family and friends. In this case, it caused the creation of the family reunion, which connected people from all over the country in person. The event brought to my mind our need to connect with each other, share family history, and stories. It appears that it may be an annual event.
What people also realized at the family reunion is that many of the family stories are dying with the older relatives. The desire to keep the stories and family history recorded was evident. Not only do we have a need to connect but we also want to know about our lineage. Where did we come from? Who were the people who came before us. What were their hopes, dreams, and desires? How did they meet each other? What were they passionate about?
