Season of Transformation

I found this wildflower photo in my photo vault the other day, and I was curious why I never shared it. I love the colors, composition, lighting, everything! Then late last night I saw the “Post a Pic of Yourself from 5 Years Ago” challenge, and I decided to look at my selfies from five years ago. It’s a little funny— I was soooo shocked! They showed a girl who was so happy and healthy!! I looked at myself in the mirror. I’m definitely not the same girl!! I didn’t think a person could change so much in only five years!! At first I was beating myself up for that- how did I let myself get so old, so beaten down looking?? Then I caught myself in that thought- “let myself?” I thought about the bumps in my road in the past 5 years- there were several that changed my entire life! I rolled with them and kept going. I readjusted and adapted to changes in my new-normal Covid environment. Like these wildflowers, I’ve had a lot of rain showers and monsoon thunderstorms that washed away my planned paths in life. And like these wildflowers, the seeds have been germinated and I’m ready to bloom again.

So instead of a new resolution for 2022, I have a 3-month goal for this season- focus on becoming a wildflower again.

It’s time for transformation.
