The Family Blessing Book was created with the family in mind. Blessing Books are designed to be a source of intentional inspiration to be used to record personal messages to the owner of the Blessing Book. These mementos and keepsakes can be used in rituals, celebrations and communions as well as for self-reflection and documentation of one's innermost thoughts, feelings and beliefs. At the heart of Blessing Books is the desire to share sentiments, messages and stories that we can draw upon as sources of comfort and a reminder that we are loved. Wherever you are on your journey, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, may this Family Blessing Book serve you well.
