Rooting into bloom

This story walks through a personal journey of growth, strength and realignment. Rooting deep into what one is aligned for and blossoming into who one really thrives to be. This piece is inspired by the different seasons and the visual changes of trees during each of them.

As we move and grow like seasons – spring with the naked branches, barely surviving the long winter rolling past and at the most vulnerable state being certain that summer is bringing back the familiar green bright lively leaves – we thrive to be the naked tree leaning into the faith of becoming its full potential again. The potential that stems from strong, raw, tangled and evergrowing roots. May we all have the courage and faith to plant a seed within and ride along the journey of rooting ourselves into bloom.
