My family is such an important part of who I am, yet a family is so much more than the people I call “mother,” “father,” “sister,” and “brother.”

Being part of a family is what makes me feel as if I am a part of something far greater than I could ever be on my own. It is knowing that I will be accepted and loved no matter how I look or sound.

I am an important member of a universal family of love. So no matter where I might go, I am surrounded by the love and support of my spiritual family.

My family reaches into every corner of the globe, so I am not afraid of being in new or unfamiliar places. Rather, I am comforted in knowing that I am always with people of kindred spirit because I am a member of a universal family of love. 

Nothing external has any power over me. My inner strength is a mighty fortress.

Love
