Thank you, dear Lani, for sharing this video. The words and images touched my heart...how could they not? A beautiful reminder that one can find her way to the trust and confidence needed to be fully seen -- and known. But, in order to get there...we need to know we are safe, and most of all, loved. How needed your supportive spirit is, sweet friend. It may not have been your voice (this time!), but you are still the instrument that provides the soul-filling music with your compassionate and understanding heart. Today I am cherishing that we are all daughters of Love. xxoo Laurie
Love Natilie Grant. Never heard this song b/4. A couple of the words she sang are some of the words I wrote for two Self-Portraits. You always touch the Heart!

My hope is this might be a place of reflection for those who stroll through. Art has long been a source of divine comfort for me in times of great joy as well as seasons of deep pain. I am often drawn to the imagery that speaks of journey and the unfolding of our stories....the butterfly, the passing of seasons, a key that might open the door to a heart that has been wounded. It is along our individual journeys that life brings defining moments that speak to us. Gifts of hope and wisdom, personal growth, words of encouragement during times of great struggle, lessons born of taking risks and revealing who we really are, tears wept, laughter shared, questions that wrestle with life and faith, a heart that has been healed or dreams bravely spoken aloud and shared. It requires courage to open our eyes and listen to what is being whispered in the private places of our hearts. My prayer is that these images and creative reflections might invite you nearer to your own unique story and into the heart of the journey.
"DANCE WITH THE BUTTERFLIES AND SOAR ON TRANSLUSCENT WINGS"
" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves: Who am I to be brilliant? Actually who are you not to be? You are a child of God. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. Its not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we unconciously give other people permission to so the same. As we were liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others" (Marianne Williamson)
