“Usually my husband works until very late every night, and the kids and I are already bed when he comes home. I felt we didn’t have enough time to talk, so I began keeping an illustrated diary in which I could share with him what was going on in our lives.  In this diary I would record what we did, felt, thought or planned for the future, etc. When he comes home each night, he opens the diary and receives some impression of our day and can feel closer to us. Recently, our five-year-old son began wanting to draw in this diary and join in this communication.” — Mami

By sharing a glimpse of Mami’s family’s personal diary with you, we hope you might be reminded that creativity can enrich any kind of communication or daily activity and  overcome obstacles to intimacy. Maybe you might also be inspired to use your creativity and love in some way to draw closer with the people in your lives. — CRS
