We are Royalty: Rich in Heritage, Faith & Love Dear Martin Family Members

The Martin Family Reunion will be held

Friday - Sunday July 9-11, 2021 in

Jacksonville, Florida. We will have a meet

and greet on Friday (dependent on Covid

restrictions) and a Picnic on Saturday. This

decision was not made lightly, we looked at

the available venues in Savannah and with

many events getting cancelled, they have

reschedule for next year. We decided that

we would not have a banquet, but just a

meet & greet and picnic. We will resume

with our format in 2023.

This Year's Theme is "We are Royalty: Rich in

Heritage, Faith & Love." Let's make this

Family Reunion one to remember.

Family cost for the reunion will be: 13 yrs. to 74 older - $10 12 yrs. old & younger - Free

75 yrs. old & older - Free Family members can make payments

MARTIN FAMILY

CONNECTION

PICTURES FROM LAST REUNION (this is what its all about spending time with family. We had such a great time from the beach to the banquet.

As we look back on this past year and look towards the future. We can Begin to implement those changes in your life that will lead you to create those meaningful moments.

This has been a time of transition for so many of us in which we have gone through a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. We shed the old so that we can fully step into our power with a new spiritual confidence not seen quite like this before.

We found ourselves doing a bit more introspection that led us to learn more about ourselves and as this shift unfolded and the opportunity for us to delve more deeply into our work, our relationships, and our goals. Each new day offering a new opportunity upon which to create our meaningful moments.

So look upon each day of the coming year as a fresh start with an outlook towards accomplishing your

goals and see your dreams as you planned. Embrace your purpose and raise your vibration to match those plans. Sometimes those plans will not work out exactly as you imagine but don’t give up as these are just opportunities for growth in some way that you may not see at that moment, but will one day understand they were the stepping stones that lead you to a pivotal moment of expansion.

Know that a great adventure is at hand and so out of the box thinking is helpful for both following your own path, as well as trying new things or new ways.

You are ready to soar and show the world your light. You have unlimited potential and you are just starting to tap into your potential. Trust in the possibilities, for now is the time to act upon your inspirations in some way as they have the ability to transform into something more.

Looking Towards the New Year Just remember to not be so hard on yourselves and release judgment about the past. The future is filled with great adventures and great successes. Make smart choices right now for yourself and your life as these are the lasting impressions you leave upon the earth. Notice your footprints and pay attention to the next place you set your feet.

Stretch out of your comfort zone and stay true to your path and continue to soar higher and shine brighter. Hold bigger visions for yourself and your life.

The meaning of everything in your life has precisely the meaning YOU give it. You decide where to put your focus and attention. Absolutely no one else is responsible for this, but you.
