✨ Today, let’s pause to reflect.

Webster’s defines truth as the quality of being in accordance with fact or reality. It defines reconciliation as the act of restoring friendship or harmony.

But beyond definitions, these words carry deep meaning. Truth calls us to acknowledge what has happened. Reconciliation asks us to take steps toward healing, respect, and unity.

The past, the present, and the future depend on what we make of them—and on the actions we take today. 🧡
