Family of Rocks


Rocks are everywhere. They are the foundation of our Earth. They are so plentiful they become easily ignored and overlooked in the daily grind of life.  

We may view the numerous rocks in our lives as obstacles that get in our way. We may trip and fall, cursing the rocks that caused our tumble. 

Because of the annoyance we view them as, we can forget all that rocks are. They are building blocks and tools of creation. Rocks can give us support, or provide us a step up. They allow to us to ascend to greater heights, offering grand views from higher perspectives. 

Just because rocks are everywhere, doesn’t mean each rock isn’t extraordinary and doesn’t have a story to tell.

Our rocks - our family and our faith - are our anchors when life becomes stormy. They become our center of stability to bring balance. Sometimes we hit, topple over and crash. The rivers and storms, the wind and the rain…it hurts at times. Yet it is those experiences that knock off our rough edges and reveal a polished finish, and uncover the gems beneath the surface

Each one of us, each one of YOU, is extraordinary… and we have a story to tell. 

Rock on, my family, rock on :)






A special thanks and shout out to my very talented and amazing geologist friend, Melanie K, who is the creator of these beautiful works of art! She was also my inspiration, proof reader and editor to the story I wrote above. :)
