Creating a strong and loving family requires skill, commitment, communication, and clarity. It requires consistently making the right choice (which works on every occasion).
Today, I share a marvelous Irish folktale gleaned from the collection of Bab Feiritear, a warm-hearted storyteller from Dunquin, County Kerry, Ireland.
I’d love to hear from you:
1. What wisdom can you share about nurturing unity and love in a family?
2. What other lessons or help do you find in this wonderful tale?
Thank you, as always, for your wisdom and input!
