For the next few days my life will be filled with family. The Kirwin/Child clan typically is loud, talks all the time, and interrupts constantly. It is chaos. I grew up with it, love it, and will be in the middle of it for the next few days. 

I will also take time to spiritually express my gratitude to the greater power who blessed my life with such abundance. 

This year the Kirwin family lost our matriarch, my Mom. She was the center of the universe for our family. From head cheerleader to guidance counselor she was always there for all of us. Her voice is still strong. It only comes now in different ways.

Happy Holidays to you and all of yours.
