Three Rings

Someone asked me recently why I wear three silver rings with writing on them. They aren't expensive, they weren't gifts, and hold no real sentimental value. The first ring says "Survivor" - because I am, and always will be, a survivor. I've survived some dark events in my lifetime, and have managed to move beyond them, for the most part.

The second ring says "Nothing is Impossible" - a statement I've made many, many times. Nothing is impossible - I can learn to do anything I that I need to, I will continue to grow in ways that sometimes surprise me, and believe that everything is possible if you believe in something.

The last ring says "Be the change you wish to see in the world" - this is something we ALL need to learn and live by. It also brings me personally back full circle with my belief that I am a survivor and that nothing is impossible.

One day I hope to have each of these statements engraved on rings of a higher quality, that will last forever. They remind me of who I am when times are tough, and who I'm glad I've become.



"Infinite Diversity"


"Retirement"


"Sunset Silhouette"
