Quiet Strength

Hiking near Sheridan, Wyoming, wildflowers danced in the breeze contrasting against the distant horizon. The scents delightful as the warmth of the sun caressed my shoulders. Returning home, I knew I wanted to capture this peaceful moment on canvas, now was the time.

What I didn’t know as I started this special painting was what the state of my heart would be… I’ve walked such a broken road filled with much young pain. Thank God, I have grown and healed much. Yet lately I have been going deeper, seeking to root out any lingering trauma effects from my mind, body, and soul. This first day of painting I was hit SO hard, emotions pouring out all over the canvas, tears streaming. Brushes and paints become my therapy, my comfort as I process. Slowly the knots untangle, purge, release. I can breathe again, peace and beauty return little by little. Deeper healing is taking place in this sacred space.

I hear in my spirit, I am chosen, loved, whole, and cleansed. I am strong and filled with grace. Resilience and determination have strengthened within me.

As self aware as I am and seeking to do the hard work, I am continuing to learn how to walk in acceptance, comfortable with my strengths and weaknesses, even thankful for my story.

I am reminded as I paint of the joy and gentle beauty I felt as I strolled through the wildflowers, caressed by the sun. Healing takes place.
