"Today has been marked as family day. Whether or not you can be with your family in person...spend some time with them as you close your eyes and visualize each one of them and sit in the center of your heart. Feel the tenderness and the innocence as you spend time with each one. If you have any barriers with anyone, give it some attention today.

Allow any resentments, hurts or disappointments living in you and embrace and let them go. Forgive, so that your heart can resolve any differences and open to the love that is waiting for you. Visualize a healthy loving relationship and be patient.

Create family love and peace in your heart and home everyday. Be the one who inspires gentle, kindness and respect and send out a sweet invitation as you put out your welcome mat. Open the door to the heart of your family and celebrate the presence of peace and love."
