The Yin and the Yang

https://www.ancient.eu/Yin_and_Yang/

What is Yin / Yang

A starting definition: Yin / Yang: Two halves that together complete wholeness. Yin and yang are also the starting point for change. When something is whole, by definition, it’s unchanging and complete. So when you split something into two halves – yin/yang, it upsets the equilibrium of wholeness. Both halves are chasing after each other as they seek a new balance with each other.

The word Yin comes out to mean “shady side” and Yang “sunny side”.

This family blog was started on March 24. It began as an effort to stay in touch with family near and far during this time of quarantining. One of the highlights was the post of all your memories for Mom; it was so much fun sharing all the touching memories!  Michelle Murphy Zive had a great suggestion to continue family engagement:

There is a bunch of literature and research around the power of sharing images and stories to create connection and community.  You could ask for images from the family/community around so many topics like provide an photo or image about your favorite childhood memory, what you are most grateful for, what’s outside your window right now, your favorite place, etc.

Share Your Yin and Yang
