I love this image of the tree trunk with the sproutlings and your motto. It is an image that speaks of life so well. Your reflection spoke to me and so needed today, as I try to grow strong after illness. It is a message of hope. I can’t help but remember the book” The Giving Tree” when at the end when the tree was just a stump, he loved the boy and the boy loved the tree. And it was the perfect sitting place. Even the stump has a purpose. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your story. I am excited to read about others stories of growth. I have been through some very difficult times but after reading some of the struggles others have shared as they relate to your project, I must defer from adding mine to the list. Again, the beauty of social media and exploring others lives through stories and sharing has made me humbled that others have far more difficult situations at hand and to allow them to share and for us to learn from is our greatest gift. We can only grow when wise enough to sit back and allow others to teach us. ❤️

Hi Michelle, glad to have you here. I want you to know that I am happy to hear and share your story. Sometimes I think we assume our stories aren't much compared to what read that others have gone through, but I strongly believe that isn't the case. Everyone has an important story to share through their lived experience. So if you feel compelled to have yours featured, please do reach out. I am pleased to work with you in any way to make that possible.

This is the pattern I’ve been focused on for three years now. The change cycle, a universal principal. I call it the Re-Creation cycle. How lucky you are to have it as a family motto! It’s the hidden motto of us all.

I love how you said "it's the hidden motto for us all," David. That was my hope - that in naming my own story, others will find themselves in it. ❤️
