In the best selling book by Tembi Locke “From Scratch, and the Netflix limited series of the same name, we encounter the strength and presence of family. It’s astounding just how Tembi’s family showed up for her and her late husband Zaro.
What a thing to reflect on. Are we missing something by not having the community, that bond and that spirit in our lives? The answer is, absolutely.
Tembi, played by Zoe Saldana, in the Netflix limited series, went through a tragic and heartbreaking ordeal. But her family was her bedrock in real life and in the series. Many of you have been through these tragic moments in life. Some of you may have had family present and others of you did not. How great would it have been to have that support, love, and safety net from family.
The same happens in “Parenthood” , a series about the Braverman family in California. Inspired from a 1989 movie of the same name, this show highlights the importance of family. We all have baggage, weaknesses, things we are good at and not good at. Life happens to us all! In “Parenthood” the Braverman family is no different. You can feel the love and support by watching. It moves you to want and have that kind of family dynamic. Through marriage, parenting, drug abuse, affairs and the day-to-day BS that we all face.
Your family may or may not be blood. They can be friends. However, the important thing is having and building these connections. So for this new year, start by being a great friend, sibling, neighbor and colleague. Treat others as you would want to be treated. You never know when you’ll need it. More importantly, it’s the right thing to do and the right way to live. Giving of yourself to others, because it’s best for the common good.
