🤝Bros & Sisters Unite!
Hey Y’all! Long time no see! 😊
Did you know that April 10th is World Sibling Day? Although it’s generally only recognized in the United States and Canada, let’s all take a moment to appreciate our siblings anyway. Because while sometimes siblings can cause some angst, they truly are blessings!
🌸Remember my nickname is MeiMei (little sister)... which is a clue that I have an older sibling. Actually, a big brother.
Today, my older brother and I are quite close – although it wasn’t always like that when we were younger. (Although, I may have to take the blame for that... because my brother loved me very much when we were little and always wanted to be with me. I – in youngest sibling fashion – wanted nothing to do with that. Love you, bro!😇)
But in all honesty, it’s a common experience to have conflicts with your siblings. Check out this Inspiring Involvement activity that focusses on strengthening sibling relationships! Inspiring Siblings.pdf 👈
❤️Loving your neighbor can start first, at home, with siblings.
This week, take some time to reflect on relationships with your sibling(s), or start a conversation for your children.
✨What kind of impact have siblings had on who you are today?
✨How can you show your appreciation for your sibling this week?
✨Take a small step to further strengthen your relationship with your sibling! What can you do together? What can you do together to make a difference?
Before I go, I’m curious to know what your favorite thing to do with your sibling is. My brother and I both LOVE baseball! 😁
Until next time, MeiMei 💕

Hey there,Reader ! It's MeiMei here this week! In today's newsletter I want to talk to you a bit about the idea of "opening your eyes." Something that I know many of us fall prey to is having "blinders" on during a busy or stressful season. We often focus on one thing -- which can be considered our end goal -- and that limits our distractions and keeps us from straying from our main task. I'm not implying that this is a bad thing whatsoever, because there truly are times when we need to focus...
Hi there Reader! It’s MeiMei here this week – it’s been a bit since I last wrote to you. A LOT has happened since then. In the past two weeks I’ve graduated high school and moved to the USA. 🎉Those are two pretty big milestones and they come with a lot of changes. My graduation was a meaningful experience to say the least. After attending Concordia International School Shanghai for 14 years, my graduation was both eagerly anticipated and reluctantly experienced. It’s hard to close a chapter...
Greetings Reader! In the midst of preparing for graduation and an international move, we've been taking a trip down memory lane. While cleaning out our game cabinet, we had a fun and interesting conversation about the board game "Life." It's been around for a long time, with updates and refreshed graphics. Game of Life is an American classic board game where players spin a wheel to move along a path of life events, such as education, career, marriage, and children. 👉The objective is to...
