Soofi the pots came to a boit. lI one, be placed carrota; int the seconld, he placed egga; int the third, be placed groufld coffee beafis. He let the ifigrediefits ait and boit, witbout saying a word. The daugbter aucked her teetb and impatiefltly waited, wondertng what be was doirtg.

Are you the bard canrot that softens and loses strengtb witb pain and adversity? Are you tbe egg wbicb starts off witb a malleable beart and fluid spirit? Has deatb, divorce, breakup, betrayal, layoff or letdown made you bard and stiff. On the outaide, your sheil looks the sarne, but on tbe inside bas bitterness tougbened your once-tender beart?
