What does it take to face your fears, hit a hurdle, or confront a challenge – and still be able to carry on?

May’s Theme is Resilient

To be resilient is to be adaptable. It’s a way of being that’s flexible and alive, bouncing with the stuff of survival: learning, evolving, and intertwining our roots to share resources and to create a strong anchor of collective care. Like trees in a storm, it means swaying instead of snapping. It means persevering in the face of hardship and heartbreak is not easy, to say the least. To heal, to grieve, to bend but not break? It requires time and dedication to build these muscles of resilience.

Whether for your life, community, or planet, consider this:What can you do today to help build strength and ease for the future?CreativeMornings/Dallas chose May’s Resilient theme, and Niki Dionne made the accompanying illustration.
