Jade Integrity
The story behind the symbol
The Smithsonian explains that jade includes nephrite and jadeite and is valued for toughness as well as colour. Its nephrite bowl demonstrates carving in this material; the stone is from British Columbia, Canada.

A material’s worth can include qualities that are not obvious at first glance. This original reading turns from appearance to dependability: consider whether one everyday commitment reflects what you value, and what honest care it needs now.
A question to sit with
Which small commitment needs either follow-through or an honest revision?
One small action
Take three minutes to choose a commitment and its next step. If it no longer fits, draft a clear revision rather than silently postponing it.
