It’s time to celebrate strength.<br />
The seen and unseen moments. The big and little triumphs.<br />
Especially those moments that it was all you.<br />
The moments where you took the next step.<br />
Celebrate strength and recognize it in all its forms.<br />

“A hero is an ordinary individual<br />
who finds the strength to<br />
persevere and endure in spite<br />
of overwhelming obstacles.”<br />
- Christopher Reeve<br />
Strong is knowing when to say no or enough.<br />

self-preserve.<br />
Strong is knowing who you are and staying true to your values.<br />
Strong is following your internal compass.<br />
Strong is asking for help, at times having to borrow strength.<br />
Strong is bravery.<br />
Strong is being vulnerable. Staying open.<br />
Strong is being flexible.<br />
Strong knows when to be silent and when to speak.<br />
Strong allows for space, to rebuild what’s torn, to internalize<br />
before expressing.<br />
Strong is being accountable.<br />
Strong carries responsibility, giving more than you take.<br />
Strong is committed, no excuses.<br />
Strong pushes through for purpose.<br />
Strong is putting yourself out there and facing fears. Moving in<br />
spite of fear.<br />
Strong is bold and beautiful.<br />
You got this. ”<br />
