About: 

We all have the potential to blossom and bloom within us.

Just like a beautiful tree in springtime. 

​

The idea was born one winter day, when I was in the car with my husband and looked at all the "dead" trees. My mind was still mainly blank, and I still heavily struggled with Aphasia, at that time. I told him, "I feel like a tree." I didn't say like a dead tree, but truthfully that's what I meant. I was blank, I didn't know where "I" was. Maybe I was dead like those trees. He didn't understand what I was trying to say. 

​

Eventually, I realized that trees aren't dead, but kinda sleeping. 

Maybe I was just in a winter slumber, too? Not really alive, but not dead either?

​

Don't forget to Blossom and Bloom became a piece about not giving up, and keep fighting for oneself, to find the strength to wake up in spring (or whenever it is your time) to blossom and bloom.
