This past month my family took a trip to Portland, OR, to visit with family. During the trip we were able to spend some very special time together as a family.

Everyone needs a break! With only a few weeks left in the summer, take a break and purposefully spend time with those you love.

You will feel better.

Think better.

Smile more.

Laugh more.

Experience less stress.

Feel more secure in your relationships.

I have no scientific data to show you (although I am sure there is some somewhere).

However, I do know this from personal experience. Over the past few weeks I have enjoyed being able to spend purposeful time with my family.

Here are some snapshots of our time together. Hope you enjoy!
