    Holli & Robert Quotes

    "In life, just as on the road, signals show us when it's time to shift our approach, stop, slow down, or go."
    "These signals don't always appear in order… sometimes green turns yellow or red without warning."
    "The idea of the traffic light has so many interpretations for life…"
    "Trust your intuition as to when it might be right to accelerate through a yellow or to slow down and stop and wait for that red light to change."
