Dreaming in Pictures


Last Christmas I put together a collage of images and phrases depicting the direction I wanted to grow. I posted it above my bed, reading it nightly. The theme seemed to be living in my own skin. Respecting my voice. Celebrating the person that I am and am becoming. These words and images seeped deep into my being, infusing me with courage.
A few weeks ago, I realized that I had outgrown those images and words. The dreams had become reality. I find that I respect my own voice and am no longer ashamed of being an individual. I am much, much better at standing up for myself. So, I made a new collage. This one focused on friends. Reaching out. Community. Moments of stillness woven into relationships.
