This is a wonderful message, Jennifer. You’re absolutely right that pressure creates diamonds, and I think a lot of us tend to forget that. Something occurred to me. There’s a character in the TV series Battlestar Galactica with the last name Adama. I bet that name comes from Adamas, because he’s a leader and he’s “unstoppable”.
Perhaps we should all take on that name as our alter ego to remind us that we are precious gems but precious doesn't mean fragile it means UNSTOPPABLE!!!
