Life Was Never Black or White

2022 was unbelievably painful on so many levels…and yet I feel more myself than ever.
I am more supported than ever.
I am more loved than ever by the right people, places, and opportunities.

I could never have painted this year to go the way it did…there was loss, grief, sadness, and anger.

There was abandonment, loneliness, and separation.

And then there was love, hope, and reunion.

This year was hell, but it was also heaven, and magically I am more connected with every facet of my being.

I am whole and united with parts of me I had lost, and my wholeness has brought me a lifetime of clarity.

I'm more certain about what makes me happy, what brings me joy, the kind of life I want to move forward to, and the people I want to be surrounded by.

When healing feels endless, I remind myself I'm here to live a happy life.

I'm here to uncover what makes me feel more me.

I'm here to dance.

I'm here to fly.

I'm here to be the sun and the moon all at once.

Life was never black or white.

Life was never an either-or.

Life is everything.

Complex.
Spacious.
Limitless.

And I'm here to finally be a part of it all and show the world that despite all we've been through, we all deserve to be happy, feel enough, and live freely within our truths.

Sincerely,

Mary
