Taking Time to Dream

For many parents, taking time to think about personal goals and dreams feels like a luxury. Juggling multiple jobs or inconsistent shift work, family demands, kids’ schedules or a seemingly endless list of challenges quickly crowd out the time (or energy) to dream about the future. It’s hard to plan for tomorrow when today is so demanding.

That is why our Siempre Padres program recently gave parents the space to do just that. With guidance from a mental health specialist, families took time to reflect on what matters most in 2025. They created mission boards to plan goals for different areas of life, including personal growth, health, spirituality, finances, relationships, and emotions. This process helped turn big dreams into clear goals.

For many, this was more than just an activity. It was a chance to pause, think about their future, and set goals that often get pushed aside. Some parents focused on financial stability, while others wanted to build stronger family relationships or take better care of their well-being.

It was inspiring to see the dreams that surfaced once our families had the time, space, and support to help these goals come to life. Here’s to a brighter future and a great new year.
