How Wings of Strength Began
What began as artwork reflecting on launching children slowly evolved into something deeper: the realization that the nest she was building was also for herself.
Through therapy, reflection, and art, the metaphor expanded.
Wings do not simply appear.
They strengthen somewhere.
In therapy rooms.
In brave conversations.
In art studios.
In community spaces.
In the courageous act of beginning again.
This Mental Health Awareness Month series honors the healers who hold space and the individuals who are doing the brave work of healing.
