What Is a Family Soul? by Jay

My passion is to strengthen the family soul.

A soul is “the animating principle; the essential element of something; the inspirer.” A family soul is the essence and the motivating spirit of a family. It guides. It is unique to each family, because each family member is unique. It includes the values and visions of the family and the individuals in it. Tradition, how a family communicates, and how it values its members are some elements that make up the soul.

The intentions we set in motion with our family soul and the structure we put in place to realize them will guide our family through the inevitable changes that are part of living with growing children.

This blog will be about family soul: family alliances, parenting ideas derived from coaching and other disciplines, and whatever shows up in the dialogue. I look forward to seeing where this goes!
