We all have a tribe, what's your like?

By
Real Estate Agent with Resort and Second-Home Specialist REALTOR Broker #21673

I saw this image while searching for something the other day and it made me smile. YES, I definitely have a tribe... actual several of them.

My husband's family has welcomed me into their clan. The Luiten family numbers over a hundred now with some siblings and cousins becoming grandparents. Add my side of the family and my family tribe nearly doubles, spanning two continents with a small contingent Down Under too. The Family Vibe creates one of my tribes.

In social media it is easy for me to spot various tribes. Politicos or Cat-Lovers, Nerds or Shopaholics, it seems like there's a tribe for everyone on Facebook or Instagram or wherever they prefer to post.

My social media interests are eclectic so I show up - or not - in many different tribes there but never with great frequency.  My real tribes are the people in my life, also an eclectic group but after all That's My Vibe!

What's your vibe and who are your tribes?

Kathleen, this one makes me smile!  I have a gigantic family tribe - two sides of devout Irish Catholics with some first cousins I've never met!  And there is my neighborhood tribe, too.  I live in an amazing place where people know each other and each other's kids and pets.  So if Willie the Labradoodle manages to escape, I get a call almost immediately.  And add the friends, colleagues and blog buddies and wow!  And it amazes me how social network sites help keep us all connected.

Patricia Kennedy I'm Irish too and have have a dozen nuns and a couple of priests on my mom's side. If you haven't visited Ireland, go! You'll be surrounded by your Tribe

I once worked at an international software company.  We didn't have teams, we had tribes.  I absolutely loved it!

Oh I love that, Myrl Jeffcoat ! I think I'll start using that instead of "team" with my co-workers.

As I get older and have less time since I am now a grandmother, I must say my tribe is pretty much just family and old friends.

Hi Kathleen Luiten ,  We don't have much of a tribe left, so our tribe has become out clients and past clients.

Both of our Tribes have diminished in numbers, we are almost the oldest of them...one sibling older than me and one older than Larry and then it is us! YIKES!

You look too young to be the eldest of the elders, Evelyn Johnston

My vibe? Not really sure. I hope it's one that says I'm here to help. I hope that people sense that I am honest and that I care.

My tribe? I've got several. The most important are family and church.
