"I danced with my shadows until they became part of my light.”
― Jodi Livon

I was sitting in my studio earlier, watching the snow quietly fall onto the ponderosa pines and reflecting about some of the comments I received on a previous post, one from a woman who clearly felt the weight of being overlooked and valueless. I have felt that, too. I find myself reflecting on the journey of womanhood and the complex emotions that come with navigating life's seasons; in a society that glorifies youth and overlooks the wisdom and beauty of age, it's easy to feel invisible, undervalued, and disconnected from our sense of purpose. The butterflies we once nurtured in our hearts may feel like distant memories, as the light within us flickers in the face of self-doubt and external pressures.

But I want to remind you all that your worth is not defined by age, appearance, or societal expectations. You are the sum of your unique experiences, the love you've given and received, the obstacles you've overcome, and the dreams you continue to hold in your heart. And within us all, we each possess an inherent strength, resilience, and capacity for transformation that cannot be diminished by the passage of time.

The world has changed drastically overnight, and many are not yet aware. I resolutely believe that life as we know it will be shifting to an age that has never been known, that will touch every part of society and existence. I have hope. And in the coming weeks and months, our stories, wisdom, and the gifts we bring to the world will be needed more than ever. Whether you find solace in creativity, in nurturing relationships, in pursuing your passions, or in connecting with something greater than yourself, know that your presence and your contributions matter deeply.

And so I created this piece as a symbol of the magic of the crone who is regenerative, who is wisdom, who is magic. To not only honor and celebrate her presence within you, but to remember. The world can be cruel if we let that in and forget the wonder of who and what we are - born of stars and vessels of light. To serve as a reminder of the beauty of the journey, no matter what season of life or circumstance we find ourselves in. Just as the butterfly emerges from its cocoon, transformed and ready to take flight, we all have the power to regenerate, to heal, and to shine our light in ways that inspire and uplift others, and especially ourselves.

So let us gather together in the union of our spirits, to support and celebrate one another, to share our stories and our wisdom, and to never forget the incredible beauty and worth that resides within us all.
