Grow Through what you Go Through
Do you sometimes get paralyzed with the thought of making a mistake?
Why did I do this?
Why is this happening?
I never do anything right!
Let yourself off the hook and change your way of thinking. Instead of beating yourself up, look for ways you can learn, grow, and improve as you move forward.
Fail Forward - acceptance of failure as a stepping stone to future success.
You choose to respect each failure for the lessons it teaches you,
and to apply those lessons to future efforts. John Maxwell
There is no innovation and creativity without failure. Brene Brown
I have not failed. I have found 10,000 ways that don't work. Thomas Edison
It's Not the End
We tend to look at life from a very narrow perspective - seeing only what's right in front of us.
Wondering if a problem will ever end.
Will I get through this?
Pain. Grief. Sadness. Loss. Stress.
Not being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
It helps to remember that problems are temporary and that everything will ultimately work out.
But often it's not the timing we hope for.
Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it is not the end.
It's not the end. You got this.
Having the Strength to Let Go
I have a friend who's been struggling the last several years - caught up in the past and having a hard time overcoming all the negative voices and tapes in her head. Feeling she needs to hold onto things, but knowing it's not the healthiest.
It's been wonderful to see her start to break free from the past - I knew she had
taken some very large steps towards freedom and happiness
when she shared this quote with me....
Give yourself permission to Let Go.
Our Hardest Climbs Can Lead to Our Best Views
per·se·ver·ance
/ˌpərsəˈvirəns/
persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success
determination, endurance, stamina, tenacity
Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.

Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.
Samuel Johnson
Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to,
but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears.

Rising from Your Ashes
Sometimes it seems like our world in on fire, at least for those of us on the West Coast right now. Watching and hearing about reports of devastating fires ripping through towns and communities, driving people from their homes and then having them return only to find ashes.
Yet, during this time, I've personally seen my little town and others like it, step up to help their neighbors, to help their animals, to help provide shelter and care and compassion.
And then you view in awe the unending dedication of those fighting to overcome the fires.
Rising from the Ashes - it's something we all do.
Hopefully only once in our lives, but too often the number is several.
Digging out of the weight of personal, emotional or physical destruction.
But once we do, we discover just how strong, brave and determined we can be.
Sending prayers and strength to anyone trying to rise from their ashes.
Strength, Determination and Being Enough. Art for a New You in the New Year
She made broken look beautiful
and strong look invincible.
She walked with the Universe
on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings.
and strong look invincible.
She walked with the Universe
on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings.

Here's to the Survivors.
Strong in the midst of adversity. Digging in a little deeper when things get tough.
Saying NO to drama and blaming others and "it's not fair".
Instead... working harder, making the best of each situation, persevering and holding onto hope, helping others, letting go and moving forward.
As I added each layer to this art piece, my goal was to encourage those who have had to "survive".
Whether it be an illness, an incident, a diagnosis, a loss, or just ongoing struggles,
you are stronger than you think and you are definitely ENOUGH.
The world may try to tell you you're not, BUT YOU ARE!
As we reflect upon the end of this year and the beginning of next...
remember these words as you head into each day.
You are Strong
You are a Survivor
You are Determined
You can Let Go of the Past
You are Enough
You can Persevere
You can Change Your Thinking
You can Overcome Obstacles
You will Laugh
You will See the Good in Each Day
You will Hope

May your year be full of happiness, peace and laughter.

Blessings From Above - New Art + a little instant gratification
After I wrote about the sweet surprise my dad had for my mom here, I wanted to capture that special feeling and put it on canvas. Something that would remind me of the deeper and long lasting love of family and encourage me to be the type of person who thinks of others and tries to be a blessing in their lives.
(Even if you have to be a little sneaky - thanks dad!)
So I created this canvas called Blessings from Above. I love looking at it everyday!
(I'm trying something new and have added an Instant Digital Download section to my Etsy Shop - that way you can buy art online and download art straight to your computer and print it out yourself - instant gratification - online art - no waiting! )
Hope you have a blessed week!
Love, Steph
