Celebrating Relationships

/

The predictable sunshine of late summer weekends, makes August a popular month for weddings. As a result, many people celebrate summer anniversaries. From the initial day of saying "I do" throughout the months and years following, most will acknowledge how hard work, dedication, patience, and courage have contributed to the health of the relationship. It is important that we celebrate special occasions in a relationship, such as anniversaries, and honour these years of working, striving, and loving together. 

As we move into the week, we invite you to reflect on a special relationship--an important loved one in your life. Thinking back to your earliest hopes for this relationship, describe the high point moment when you realized this person was exceptional. What were you doing? What stands out for you? 

What do you value most about this important person? What are the qualities that make this person who he/she is? What is your greatest hope for your relationship, as you enter the next phase of being together, or moved forward throughout the next year?

A sneak peak...

In preparation for our big opening, we have been working hard to set up the Shoreline office. At Shoreline we believe that the space we host conversation in is very important. Our aim is for people to feel safe, comfortable, and respected in the conversational environment. We have tried to take the 'office' out of the office and have in turn designed a space that we believe will naturally spark meaningful and collaborative dialogue.

As we have worked to develop our vision of Shoreline, we wonder about how those around us have similarily transformed goals into reality. Have you had an opportunity to reflect on your own past successes accomplishing goals, creating ideas, and achieving your visions?

Looking back at your many experiences, think about a time that you were able to turn an idea, a goal, or a vision into something real or tangible.

What made you feel especially proud of your accomplishment? ...

What key talents or strengths aided your progress and ultimate achievement?

Imagine it is one year from now and you continued to nurture a special idea to life, what would be happening? What would you appreciate about your contributions to this transformation?

We invite you to reflect on these questions as you carry on through the week!
