It is fantastic! I have learned lots from it, but I was doing these family meetings before I read it because I learned how to do them this way at the Utah Youth Village when I was a foster parent there. Truth is truth, and many people find some of the same truths. These kinds of meetings have made huge change in my family environment. I highly reccomend incorporating a time for calm family communication. Thanks for you comment. And, you are probably right, the family Christmas letter might not be enough. ;) We are trying to increase our family writing too! Huston,

I've never thought of a family journal, but I'll have to try it--I guess the annual Christmas newsletter doesn't quite cut it, eh? :) Have you ever read Elder Gene R. Cook's Raising Up A Family To The Lord? It's one of my favorite books, and it has a whole chapter about the kinds of family meetings you discuss. Nicholeen, thanks for this–I loved it.

I really am passionate about strengthening families and relationships. If there is one place everyone can improve it's with relationships. It takes constant work, but nothing is more worth the time! Thanks,

I may adopt that. I also think this is an excellent time for a family meeting for goal-setting and pondering 2009. Thanks Nicholeen. A weekly family journal is a great idea. I may adopt that.
