In this episode we talk about Balancing work and Summer trips with the family

Summer Trips with the Family

Discover something new about your kids. What are their favorite things are?

Everyday moments are what matter most.

How are you taping into your children’s interest?

Slow down and enjoy the journey. Make a pit stop on road trips to see the sights and experience new places.

On your journey, keep everyone in mind to include activities that everyone can engage.

What travel tools do you need as you travel? What’s a necessity? What creature comforts do you need?

Plan your rest breaks and pit stops.

Play car games on the road and create your own games. Be sure to keep the memory by capturing it in photos or writing.

Welcome to my podcast, I’m Kelly Ramsey CEO of Developing People, Inc. sharing inspiration about life, parenting, living with intention, and sharing stories about how it all happens in the background of life.

In today’s episode Kelly revisits her journey map and shares lessons learned and the impact of the relationships in her life that support her and celebrate her identity.

Our identity is carefully defined by how we show up in relationships with others. Deciding to show up authentically defines the quality of our relationships.

In relationships, consider who we show up as and how we interact with those we treasure most.

Mutual friendships and relationships yield fruit that remains. At the roots, we nourish one another and provide nutrients to cause us to flourish. This nourishment is what we don’t see in the forefront of our lives but it’s what supports healthy relationship development. A celebration of 25 years of marriage is a vivid picture of how we are rooted in love and care for each other. Our tree is producing a harvest because of the constant care and attention to the soil of our lives through the seasons of life.

Let’s keep nurturing our relationships with one another, and see the benefit of our care and attention to each other.

Today’s Action Steps:

Place a circle around the relationships that you treasure the most. How do you continue to fuel the relationships you circled? Looking at those relationships creates action steps toward the goal you have set for yourself.
