During my healing process from grief, I realized the importance of acknowledging that I had options, even when it seemed like there were none. Accepting the possibility of choices—whether it meant pushing myself on a particular day or allowing myself to rest—empowered me and made me feel more in control.

I continue to find that exploring my choices helps me navigate challenging situations.

Inspired by the vibrant colors in a local store’s paint department, I used paint samples to create this bouquet of options. I enjoy the names of each hue as much as the colors themselves!
Perfect sky, Upbeat, Harmonious, Chakra, Peaceful…all added to my sense of contentment as I created this little piece!

Much like a garden filled with flowers, I have a variety of choices available to me, each waiting for me to choose the option that feels right in the moment. One day, I might pick a rose, while the next day I might choose a bouquet of wildflowers. Knowing that I have these choices allows me to bring more color and positivity into my life!
