1. CHOICES
Between stimulus and response there is a space.
In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
Viktor Frankl
2. GOALS
In a mature relationship, your partner won't expect you to be the same everyday. they understand that you have your own ups and downs, and your own process of growth. instead of complaining when you can't show up 100%, they ask, how are you feeling and how can I support you?"

3. VISION
I Married You
I married you
for all the wrong reasons,
charmed by your
dangerous family history,
by the innocent muscles, bulging
like hidden weapons
under your shirt,
by your naive ties, the colors
of painted scraps of sunset.
I was charmed too
by your assumptions
about me: my serenity—
that mirror waiting to be cracked,
my flashy acrobatics with knives
in the kitchen.
How wrong we both were
about each other,
and how happy we have been.
