Transforming and renewing relationships! Share by Emily Jaminet Today people are more socially connected by technology than ever before, yet there is a growing trend of loneliness. An estimated 40 percent of Americans have been lonely at one point in their lives. In a 2018 Cigna study, 46 percent of those surveyed said they sometimes or always feel alone. How can this be when we consider the daily cascade of messages in our inboxes, posts on social media, and text messages? Despite all of this, many are left feeling empty and longing for more in their relationships with others. It is not due to a lack of people around us but the lack of meaningful connections that make for significant friendships and worthwhile daily interactions.
