That's probably the ultimate in embracing it ... when you don't even have to think about it and still have it guide you.

And yet, though I hadn't deliberately enacted my Genuine Heritage when my mom was in the hospital for a week (and one night my dad was there too -- the stress of the week catching up with his heart), I absolutely employed it. Genuine was letting them know I cared, in words and actions. Showing up. Bringing things from home that would be of comfort. Thanking the staff for their care and knowledge. Heritage was presenting artwork from their grandson that they could display. Calling my mom's sisters and dad's brother. Sitting with my mom and dad and talking about family, history, future.
