tribes

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.~Jane Howard   One of the gifts of a loving family is the encouragement and confidence we receive to magnify ourselves.~ L. Tom Perry   The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. ~Richard Bach   Friends are God's way of apologizing for our family.~ ANON   Theresa Williams  wrote about tribes and blogging. What she said struck as so true. I realized that the people right here in J-Land are my tribe. I have cried and prayed, laughed and hugged my members. I have felt anger at the injustice some of the members have been dealt. I have felt empathy and symptomy. I have encouraged and urged discretion. I have felt happiness and joy. I have felt your pain and anger and hurt.I have felt your love, encouragement, listened to your advice, heeded your advice. I been uplifted by you. I thank you, my tribe, my family.
