Families are the roots to our future and they endure many situations as they learn how to live with each other with different perspectives which can lead to upset, confusion, anger, separation and at times even abandonment. I wanted to bring to light the many topics that most of us keep hidden due to our sense of loyalty that we have all been conditioned to have within our families. Reaching out across the land to some amazing people to help me get my message across that we are all one family when we extend ourselves to our Family Ties and that we can all heal from these aspects when given the chance to know we are not alone.
