A wide open sky filled with storm clouds in motion—swirls of deep violet, steel gray, and midnight blue. From the center, a jagged burst of golden light erupts upward, cutting through the clouds like a revelation. The lightning doesn’t strike—it radiates. The scene hums with power, not fear.

Healing Isn’t Always Soft A grounded reminder on what transformation really feels like Healing doesn’t always come gently. While stillness, calm, and reflection have their place, there are phases of healing that feel loud, raw, and deeply uncomfortable. That discomfort isn’t failure—it’s feedback.
