Trust is built in small moments which I call ‘sliding door moments’ after the movie Sliding Doors. In any interaction there is a possibility of connection with our partner or turning away from our partner.” – John Gottman

I love this
This spoke to me
This strengthened me

Today's Challenge

Today, pay close attention to your next interaction with a loved one and consciously choose to lean in, listen, or offer a kind gesture instead of turning away. This simple act of presence is the beautiful foundation of deep, lasting trust.
