Family Traditions
For this generation, I feel like we’re missing out on traditions. We missing out on keeping them, and we’re missing out on making new ones.

Truth is that for me it takes discipline that I don’t have to keep up traditions. It takes a genuine thoughtfulness to maintain what the family has started.
Traditions involve people and history. And everytime you practice the tradition, it binds you to a history that is rich and awesome.

In the year 269 AD, Valentine was sentenced to a three part execution of a beating, stoning, and finally decapitation all because of his stand for Christian marriage. The story goes that the last words he wrote were in a note to Asterius’ daughter. He inspired today’s romantic missives by signing it, “from your Valentine.” “What Valentine means to me as a priest,” explains Father O’Gara, “is that there comes a time where you have to lay your life upon the line for what you believe. And with the power of the Holy Spirit we can do that — even to the point of death.
Making money and worth
I think, I maybe done with trying to make money, I want to making something that is of worth and brings value to people. The money will follow, so long as I remember that I’m providing something valuable and taking care of people.
But maybe I’ll need to make money to do the things I love, one of which is to be creative - then to create something that brings incredible value and hope to people.
