My bags rested on the curb and I hopped up next to them. He stood on street, slipped his arms around my waist, and pulled in for a hug. With the added curb height, I stood eye-level with JD and pressed my forehead to his.
The airplanes roared overhead, and Nashville waited for me.
JD whispered a prayer into my ear and we said goodbye. As I walked away, he said, “Hey, shine like a star, not a diamond.”
I stopped in my tracks. He’d never said it before, but I knew exactly what he meant.
A diamond is flashy. It’s impression changes with its size. A diamond conveys an image.
A star, on the other hand, is just itself. It’s natural. A star lights up a dark sky. It shines because it must. 
He reminded me that shining as a byproduct of who you are is far better than shining because you think you should.
Today, I hope we—you and me—well, I hope we shine like the stars.

I wouldn’t say we were business nerds but my husband just sent me a Slack message asking me to call him.
If you need me, just follow the trail of empty La Croix cans around my house.
