Your writing, art, and soul are beautiful and inspiring. I can relate to a lot of what you speak of in this post. For my entire life, creativity has not only been a lifeline but a soothing balm for my tender scars. 🩷💗💓

Your words ring deeply within me. I have spent a lifetime gaslighting my own trauma. It all happened, and I survived, and it was real.

Michele, you are just a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul!! God certainly gifted you with expressing yourself in written or spoken words, your watercolor paintings and being a source of love and light! I am touched by your transparency of the painful experiences you had in your past. I am so sorry you had so much hardship and trauma growing up. Thank you for sharing so genuinely from your heart.

Yes, I love this song and actually the whole album from The Greatest Showman!

May God bless you, my friend! You are such a blessing to everyone in this 100 Day of Wonder journey!

Thanks, Michele, for sharing ♥️!! Some scars are visible, others aren't. Let's be gentle with each other. Never knowing the truth of other lives.

Thanks also for this WONDERful video. I cried and deeply enjoyed the explosion of feelings of all people in this video 😍💃🏻🌞

It amazes me some of the parallel lines of life we both share. I picked Wonders because somewhere it said “it changed my life.” To be committed for 100 days to something other then therapy, doctors and PTSD and trauma was extremely interesting. I wanted to go to a place that was safe. I needed to move forward. I wanted the challenge to open a different door. To use this to challenge myself to look forward instead of down. To heal. We don’t know why it works, but it does. Being creative that is. Shifting the space in your mind to beauty and not gloom. Taking those steps 40+ days ago certainly has help me do just that. I am grateful for your vulnerability, and to share your experience with us. It helps me know that in this short life, we are not alone, and healing does exist. I can feel it every day. Thank you! 🖌️🎨🖼️
