We can’t make them.

I want you to be vulnerable with me.
I can’t make you.

I want you to choose curiosity and love.
I can’t make you.

I want you to build trust with me.
I can’t make you.

I want you to get it right.
I can’t make you.

I want you to do what I think is the right thing (except our definitions of right are often different).
I can’t make you.

I want you to take care of and love yourself.
I can’t make you.

I want you to do the work to choose and receive your healing.
I can’t make you.

We can’t make them.

I can and will make sure that no matter what I get from you, I will stand in my values, I will choose grace and love, I will lean into vulnerability and be courageous. 

I will not let you steal my courage.

Please don’t let them steal yours. <3

In addition to writing her blog since 2013, Justine is an accomplished author of twelve books—including five Amazon bestsellers—Justine has written across genres, from children’s books to in-depth explorations of infertility, faith, grief, and leadership.

Justine lives in St. Louis with her husband Chad and their three dogs. You’ll often find her volunteering at Wild Bird Rehabilitation—supporting the medical team and feeding hundreds of tiny, hungry babies during baby bird season. And during butterfly season, her home comes alive with the flutter of wings as she raises hundreds of monarch and swallowtail butterflies.
