Don't Let Your Struggle Become Your Identity

Today is my 40th birthday. 

I thought I'd be older. 

Thinner

Smarter

Well-read

Sure of myself

Further along my journey

Healthy and Whole

But I also never imagined that I'd be 

So dedicated to my family 

Creative

Living an artful Life

Actively seeking beauty

Pretty good in the kitchen

Madly and hopelessly in love with my husband of 18 years.

On the 10th year of my health struggle but still fundamentally me-ish.

Because one of the things I strive for is the message of this art,

Don't Let Your Struggle Become Your Identity

This "canvas" is actually a See's candy box. How great is that?
