These are but a few images of myself and people whose relationships mean the most to me. Each and every relationship is important for a myriad of reasons. The relationship that I have with my husband is the most important relationship in my life. In addition to being my spouse, he is my absolute best friend. He challenges me to be the best me, questions me when I am wrong or need some self-evaluation and supports even my wildest dreams. Second, to that comes to my relationships with my children. Followed by the relationships that I have with my girlfriends and sorority sisters. Each of these relationships brings positivity, joy, companionship, love, peace, and tranquility to my life.
No relationship is perfect though, in each relationship there are challenges. We don't always see eye to eye. Sometimes my children don't always understand why I make the choices I make as their mother, my husband and I don't always agree, having separate lives and experiences makes it difficult for me and my girlfriends to keep in touch as regularly as we would like to, however, through effective communication and understanding it all works out.
My ideas and perspectives regarding my personal relationships help me in my profession to be understanding and recognize the most important qualities of relationships.
Haleema,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. It sounds like you have built strong relationships that provide you with not only love, connection, and friendship but also, with support and guidance. These are strong and powerful relationships that are obviously worth the challenge of maintaining.
I wish you well.

(On a different note, it may just be my computer but I was not able to see the pictures of your family and friends that you posted.)
Hi Haleema,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post. I feel the same way with my wife she always challenges me to be the best version of myself. I have to agree that there is not one perfect relationship but that is the great thing about relationships that we each bring our own thinking and can learn from each other and most importantly be open minded and accept each other as we are. By the way I tried opening your blog in different browsers and I could not see any of your pictures.
Hey Haleema,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. I wasn't able to see your photos but I do agree that no relationship is perfect. I often have to remind myself of that when times are hard. I often disagree with my boyfriend on ways we should raise his daughter education wise. What sorority are you apart of?
