Today marks eggsactly two weeks post op from my cervical surgery. This photo shoot/ graphic illustration/ portrait was co created just days before my operation, and you can feel the fear in my eyes.
(Words cannot describe how scared I was, and how profoundly debilitating this fear felt for me)
Now, I awake a new woman, on the other side of fear. 🌱
& I seem to have a trend of making art just before I experience life changing, spirit transforming, soul alchemizing situations in my life (last time being back in 2013, just before my repair surgery when I ripped my stomach lining open basing another artist during an aerial silk performance)
Scott, Thank You for making art magic with me at times when I need art the most. As my favourite author, states, “survival is a creative act.”
I got news this past Friday at my follow up, that all pre cancerous cells are gone from my body. And that they did not find any cancerous cells further up in my canal, which was previously in question. Oh how proud I am of my body, of all she can do. I celebrate her. I am in awe of her. The miracle, that is me. I feel free.
It takes a lot of courage to walk boldly in your magic, marrying fear with faith. And when you do…
… it is an indescribable feeling of empowerment, joy & strength.
I am enjoying this new me, born out of a death&rebirth. I welcome growing through what you go through, with open arms, and I am grateful for my hardships.
They have made me a warrior. 💥
(Whatever you believe you cannot handle— have unwavering trust, that you can. You just may surprise yourself with how strong you truly are)
