“I’m not sure how my wings got this way. I’m not sure how or when they broke. It was slow and something of subtlety… My wings were as colorful as they come. Out of my own fear, I’ve let them fall and turn gray. I’ve hidden myself. I’ve tried to be something that others will be pleased with, and in doing so, I’ve only found displeasure with myself. This image is me promising myself something… That I will pick up my wings and let them teach me to fly. Please, my loving God, let them fly.”Years ago, Heather scribbled these words on the back of her nearly-dry painting, promising herself she would find herself and fly. This is the story of how she is doing just that. Her story is not only hers—It is all of ours. It is the journey of feeling broken and putting yourself back together again. It is enduring heartache and trauma of all kinds and overcoming them all, becoming stronger than before. In this book, Heather will help you find all of your broken pieces, pick each one up, and nurse them back to joyful health. It is a roadmap to grief, forgiveness, acceptance, self-discovery, hope, healing, and love.
