SISU Heroes

I can honestly say 

I’ve witnessed some 

serious SISU of late.

Yep, this Finnish word 

(si-soo) perfectly describes 

what I’ve read, seen + felt.

It means:

Extraordinary 

determination + grit, 

especially in the face 

of adversity.

The courage to take 

action against slim odds.

Having integrity AND 

taking responsibility.

So, I now consider 

people who practice Sisu 

to be strong, trusted 

men + women 

of substance. 

I actually call 

them: “Sisu Heroes”.

You know;

'Braveheart’s’ who stand 

up for us all + give us hope 

in a time filled with fear, 

chronic chaos + uncertainty.

Even while I enjoyed 

a bright + peaceful 

respite; I sorely needed 

to be reminded that there 

are Sisu Heroes in our world.

Do you have any 

Sisu Heroes in your life?

I value you + your views

so, let’s communicate!
