I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me. - Song of Solomon 7:10

Two broken pieces • Formed by fire; tested through time • Love: grounded in truth

Just like our rings, we swivel and swirl. Sometimes aligning perfectly. Sometimes on opposite sides of the world. Always needing adjusting.

I never knew how strong I was until I had to forgive someone who wasn’t sorry and accept an apology I never received.

Love: grounded in youth • Coated in gold; laced with lies • Gutted by harsh truth

Wedding rings symbolize eternal love and commitment. An infinite circle that goes round and round. Just like some arguments.

Whenever you find yourself needing to do something for someone, stop, quiet yourself, and from your heart, ask what you need at this time.

Strength of a boulder • Elbow grease; now, power through • Can I lean on you?

Everyone is allowed to ask for help. Every. One.

It isn’t how much we give but how much love we put into giving.

Physical symbol • Love and care echoed through time • Spoken with no words

I’ve recently become aware of a bonus that comes with each physical gift I have received.

Sometimes we need someone to simply be there.

Reach out for support. • But, what does that really mean? • What is it I need?

What is support, and how do I know if I actually need it?

There are no great achievements without great setbacks. - Carol Dweck

Rising from the ditch •Firmly planting on the path •Won’t you come with me

What a shame to miss the brief moments to celebrate in this life!

Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. ...

Where’s the well-worn path? •Can someone else do the work? •Wait. It’s all on me?

You can’t skip the hard stuff. It’s where true healing and growth happen.

It takes courage to say yes to rest and play in a culture where exhaustion is seen as a status symbol. - Brene Brown

Stop the spinning wheel? • My life is a standing desk • What the heck is rest?

We’re gonna keep this real simple: What is rest? And how do you do it?
