i am interested in the kind of people who have walked a few miles on rugged ground. who have felt the earth tremble beneath their feet and somehow kept going. i am interested in the kind of people who have lines around their mouths and lines around their eyes from hardship and love and loss and lacking. i am interested in the kind of people who have had to fight for something. who did not feel beautiful once but came to understand that radiance is knit from the strands of the soul within. i am interested in the kind of people who have had to hurt. and hope. and heal. who learned the hard way. who chose resilience. who never knew the kind of strength that comes along when you have nowhere else to look but – up.

REFLECTION:
- What kind of person are you? Have you walked a few miles on rugged ground?
- Have you dealt with loss and hardship and lack?
- How has that shaped you?
- Are you looking UP?
- What kind of people are you interested in? (“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with” quote by Jim Rohn)… Are you with the right tribe?
