La Familia

Thank God for family, for the good and for the not so good.  Once you get married you also marry your other half's family, for better or worse.  Your own family has seen your worst, so you can be  yourself all the time.  Your partners family is another story, you want to be civil for yourself and the grandkids, and you just want to get along, but also not have them in your business - whoa, this is not an easy feat.

To the right is my family in Atlanta, my parents, brother's family, and his wife's family.  To the left is in front of our place in LA, my sister in law's family, my mother in law, missing is my father in law and my fabulous brother in law.

 

 

I have been really blessed in this life, and appreciate it every moment.  My family has always supported my brother and I, but also let us be independent, free spirited, and make our own decisions.  Other families love to always be involved, and helping, and knowing every little detail.  I feel once you get married and have kids, that is your family now, your priority.  Yes, gatherings, communication, support is still very important, but up to a point.  I really value privacy and keeping things to ourselves, kind of funny since I'm writing this blog, right?

 

Well as they say with family, you love them, but you don't necessarily have to like them.  Lucky for me, I really do like both sides of the family, but luckily I got my mother's personality of getting along with almost everybody.  I am really conscious of keeping good positive energy around me, so that is the only time I will be nice, but not let someone get close, if they are draining or dark.

 

I used to be attracted to the dark, but mostly for the fashion and fun, I have never been into emotional darkness.  I feel blessed that although I have experienced ups and downs, they have made me stronger, and I feel I have learned, and moved on, and have attracted exactly what I want into my life.

 

I WOULD NOT CHANGE ONE THING

 

Can you say that?  I have an amazing audio set that really has helped me focus in on visualizing what I want in my life.  I would love to share it with my friends, family, and blog fans.  Please email nutritioncoachyulia@gmail.com or call/text 323.377.0707.
