Hey, Cassidy here-the girl that has always gotten excited about sunsets and the sound of rain. Sometimes I say too much. I can be a little awkward. I care immensely for others. My connection to my feelings and to life run deep. I used to think this was a curse (sometimes I still do) but it is also a blessing. It allows me to empathize with others in a very raw and authentic way. It allows me to see the wonder in the everyday ordinary. I used to think that I had to be perfect. Perfectionism was crippling; however, circumstances and epiphanies lead me to accept- no human is perfect. I am more helpful, more relatable to the world being flawed and real than pretending and perfect.
The same goes for you.
My life hasn’t always looked like I thought it “should.” Our family has faced a lot in the last handful of years. For a while I was in survival mode, trying to get through it and help my family members with struggles and grief. Our family was in the thick of it and I missed the beauty- but it was there all along. Losing myself and sight of life’s wonder, brought me to my knees. But this low point woke me up. Changed my perspective. Whatever season of life we are in, whatever life throws at us-even among the muck there are lotus flowers, if only we slow down and notice them.
It is an incredible gift to help give people a visual
reminder of this profound truth in their own lives.
