Resilient by Design

On my way to work each day I pass a billboard advertising a company and the image is a beautifully cut solitaire diamond accompanied by the words “Resilient by Design”. Personally, I think this is a testament of the people we see each day. Many come as rough stones discoloured and rough by life’s circumstances. After a little self-discovery, a journey of forgiveness and letting go, is like the precision of a diamond cutting tool with each stroke, rough edges and discolouration disappear to reveal a perfect cut masterpiece within. Every story is real and every person a soul who is looking for a brighter tomorrow.

These Heart-Warming stories are the tales of lives that are indeed Resilient by Design.
