. . . writing the story of your life. While I was re-watching this video the other day, I realized instead of simply capturing “moments” —this video was really about my healing. Realizing this was like a light bulb went off.

The photos I’ve shared in this video — of the beach, the ocean, shells and also my dancing in Nia class, were all part of healing after the loss of my father in late 2011. Taking the photographs I used to create this video, getting back to some art journaling and spending time with my family - especially my husband, have been exactly what has helped me to rebalance and heal. I am so grateful for these moments I’ve had.
