Thought of the Day: “Never allow a struggle to turn your sky into a ceiling.” — Kristen Butler

There’s something powerful about this quote. It reminds me that we can either treat struggle as a wall, or a window. We can let it box us in, or we can let it break us open.

Struggles have a way of distorting our perspective. They shrink possibilities, lower our gaze, and trick us into thinking the sky—the one full of dreams, opportunity, and fresh starts—is now a ceiling.

But ceilings are man-made. Skies are not.

So today, if you’re in the middle of something tough, remember this: the struggle isn’t your limit. It’s the climb. And the sky is still there, waiting.

Question of the Day: What sound do you look forward to hearing each Spring?

Birdsongs. The crack of a Baseball bat. The soft crunch of sneakers on dry trails again. The hum of a lawnmower in the distance. The first screen door slam of the season. There’s a soundtrack to Spring, and it’s different for everyone.

It’s wild how sound can stir memory like nothing else. What’s the sound that lets you know you’ve made it through winter?
