What the birds see
What I learned from their point of view
I painted this flowerbed of morning glories from the view of a bird flying overhead.
Not because I’ve ever been a bird.
But because I’ve lived through seasons where I had to rise above my life just to see the beauty I was already standing in.
It’s easy to get stuck in the muck—
Then complain.
Then grow angry.
Then spiral.
But what if we could practice the pivot before we sink?
What if we could catch the moment early—when the soul first starts whispering, “This isn’t working…”?
There are a few ways to pivot at the beginning of that knowing.
One of the simplest?
Call up a list of what has gone right.
Remember the small moments that once made you smile.
Let the memory become your medicine.
That single shift in energy might be enough to move you out of the muck.
Because up close, things often look messy. Tangled. Confused.
We see the weeds. The bare patches. The flowers that never opened.
But zoom out—and suddenly, there’s harmony.
What felt like failure becomes part of the texture.
What felt chaotic becomes a pattern.
I’ve had moments when I swore I’d lost everything.
Relationships cracked open.
Money vanished.
Identity scrambled.
But now? Looking back from a higher view—
I see it.
Those were the beginnings of my blooming.
That’s what this painting really is.
A visual reminder that the mess you’re in might already be a masterpiece—just not from this angle.
So if you’re standing in your life wondering if you’ve failed…
If you’re trying to bloom and nothing is working…
Try rising.
Not in hustle.
Not in force.
Just… elevate your perspective.
Give yourself space.
A little breath between the moments.
A long view.
Because from above?
It might already be beautiful.
If you're in the middle of your own tangled moment—feeling like nothing is blooming, like everything’s off-track—I want to offer you something. BREAKTHROUGH
is my practical, soul-rooted guide to help you rise. It’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about seeing differently, choosing differently, and trusting that your next season begins the moment you say, “I’m ready.”
Take a look. Your masterpiece might already be waiting.
