Tree rings have always fascinated me. Broad and evenly-spaced rings represent seasons of plentiful rain and sunshine, while narrow rings denote seasons of drought or insect infestation. Every tree stump tells a story and maps out its own unique history. All contain a full spectrum of broad and narrow rings, similar to our lives. There are seasons of abundance and seasons of lack.

I created this card as a reminder that a rich, full life is comprised of both wide and narrow rings. The difficult dry seasons build strength and resilience which make the plentiful years feel that much sweeter. So keep going. Keep growing. Your story isn’t over yet.
