🪶 Circle of Trust – “It Gets Easier (But It Never Gets Easy)”
You know, Jason Isbell has a line — “Don’t be tough until you have to. Let love knock you on your ass.” It’s been a hard year. But we can learn and grow with each other. You can allow to have things in your life that knock you on your ass. Being tough means being vulnerable. To be continued on Wednesday at the Donut Shop. ☕️
