Dear Friends,
The season for giving has arrived! It is important to give thanks to those around you this season because you don’t know who really needs to hear it. This season is also about love. The love that you give to those around you is a direct reflection of the person you are. It’s important to recognize that love is not only meant for family but also for friends.
Kelly Roper’s short poem “Different Meanings of Family” explains what is at the core of every familial relationship:
"To some, family means mom, dad and the kids.
To others, family means single parents doing the job of two to make a home.
To some, family means living with grandparents too.
To others, family is the aunt or uncle who has stepped up to fill in for parents.
To some, family means two moms or two dads growing a family together.
To others, family means two people multiplying their love through adoption.
To some, family is limited to blood relations.
To others, family includes friends who are there through thick and thin.
To some, family is all about the people in their lives.
To others, pets are considered family members too.
Yes, family means different things to different people,
But every family has one thing in common, and that’s love."
Below are two blog posts on employment and family law. The first post is called Religious Discrimination Cases Come in Two Flavors: Failure to Accommodate and Disparate Treatment and the second is called Dissipation & Divorce: When a Spouse Spends Money on Themselves Expecting You’ll Pay Half.
