Week 8 with Sara

Sara and I talked mostly about our experiences in the first part of the assignment (the self reflection within nature). As always, Sara was a great coach and probed with pertinent questions. We focused on my experience on the Muddy River in Boston where I sat for about 45 minutes (It was really warm on Saturday!). I thought about my family and the quality of the relationships I have with my parents, siblings and grandparents and how I wish I could improve them. I love my family very much and they mean the world to me, but I don't always get to see/speak to them as much as I would like. I don't tell them that I love them enough. This exercise helped me envision what I wanted out of my future self and how I could improve. After the exercise I visited with my grandparents, I took my Grandfather out to lunch, I spoke with my mom and sister and resolved to make contact with them more regularly in order to achieve the happiness and fulfillment that I had pondered on the river that day.
