Gotta do better

A few weeks ago on Easter weekend my family met up at my grandmother's gravesite for a memorial. It was a very touching and emotional time because of the woman that my grandmother was and the many things that she taught us. Of all the things that she taught us, one thing was always at the forefront:

"Love your family, because they are all you got."

I am blessed to have a really good family. We are in all walks of life and in all types of professions and if I needed anything I don't have to go outside of my family to get it. From social work to law to healthcare to nightlife, we are everywhere. This is where I have to do better, I don't talk to them as often as I should. Family is all you got and in this age of everyone having a cell phone, everyone having a Facebook/twitter/linkedin/social network account, there is no reason we I shouldn't be in more contact with family. A simple "how's life?" can go a long way. I could use the excuse that many people use and say that "I'm too busy". But in actuality, you're not.

And this goes for my friends too. Don't be surprised when I randomly call you just to shoot the breeze. I call because I want to know what going on in your life because I care.

Take home message: pick up the phone and call. Build and strengthen your relationships.

Keep on evolving,

Mr. Robinson
