Bloom Again



"In the hardest times of your life, you can choose to bloom once more."

Janice Carabine



It's been far too long, friends; I've missed you. And I've missed visiting your blogs, leaving comments, being creative, taking on projects, writing here and documenting my surroundings.

Life for me fell apart in 2013. Circumstances were irrevocably altered; changes that were a longtime coming arrived.  Simply put, it was a brutal year.  

I'm still recovering, processing and learning a new way of being. But I'm also feeling emergent. The desire to create and connect has thankfully returned.

Like the flowers around my house, it feels possible to finally turn my face to the sun, unfurl all that's been closed up for too long, and bloom once more.

  14. Erin the journey you are on is not one we sign up for and the journey often takes longer than we hope it will but keep yourself facing the sun and know in your heart that better days are ahead. I once believed the best of my life was over but I can now tell you the best was yet to come.
