May your Family Declaration solidify a commitment to building a great thing on the earth:

A flourishing family.

And may it also prove to future generations that their ancestors loved them and were preparing for their arrival.

When a group of people set off to create something new and important together, they make a declaration of their intentions.

Those building a great family do the same.

A Family Declaration makes it clear:
• Who your family is
• What you're doing
• Why you'e doing it

3. Ratification: once the entire family approves, it is now time to sign your Declaration.

The ratification should be a joyful recognition that your family is doing something special.

Those signing their name are committing to take a significant step into the future together.

Most of us could name stories like these that shaped our lives in significant ways.

They help us form an understanding of:
• who we are
• where we come from
• what we've overcome in the past
• what we're made of to take on the future

Make the effort to collect your stories.

Every family needs to know their differentness - what makes them unique every other family.

This is best accomplished through the family's stories.

As keepers of these stories, elders fill a crucial role and steward the family's most valuable assets.

The stories elders tell are worth their weight in gold:
• the family's origins
• their own childhood
• memories of relatives no longer living
• tales of past trials, heroic achievements, & valuable lessons

They fill a deep need - especially your family's younger generations.
