Michele, your story . . your journey, has resonated within my heart from the first time I learned of the immense challenges you had to face with your brain injury. Oh my friend, you really went through a very dark journey. And as we know, darkness does not overcome light. Your spirit and heart found emotions that led you to light, courage, creativity and compassion!! I feel privileged to read your story you so willingly shared. Michele, I am learning soo much from you from courage to pick up the paint brush to curiosity in choosing my watercolor painting images! This has changed me forever! I will always be a watercolor artist for the rest of my life thanks to you!! Your invitation to wonderment and creativity was an unexpected gift. I am forever grateful for you! It is my prayer that I can meet you someday and have a cup of coffee with. Love, Jennifer Nelson💗

Michele, I am in awe. Your story is filled with so many lessons. If we take the time to actually get curious about a part of ourselves we'd rather hide away or fight against, an understanding could develop. Not only an understanding, but compassion for our humanness. If that then occurs, we could open ourselves up to exploration and creativity in a way we'd not thought of before. Furthermore, I think if we can learn to embrace all of ourselves and accept we are always a work in progress, ( something that is not always easy for sure) we can then understand and be more open to those around us also being a work in progress. Thank you for your strength and your willingness to be vulnerable in sharing your story. You are truly an inspiration.
