The Traditions That Made Us

There’s something sacred about the small things that repeat the clink of glasses on Sunday dinners, the scent of your grandmother’s perfume as she opens the door each holiday, or the yearly road trip that felt like magic no matter how long the drive.

Family traditions, no matter how simple or grand, often leave behind imprints. They become more than just routine—they become the way we learn to love, to remember, and to grow. As we change, we carry these fragments with us. Some still guide how we show up in the world.

This week, we invite you to pause and reflect.
