A moment of breakthrough, where movement rises through the weight and joy is chosen, carried in flowing color and Spirit Flow motion.
There are moments in life
when everything shifts.
Not because the situation suddenly changes…
but because something inside of you does.
After Bryan’s accident,
I found myself in a place I didn’t recognize.
There was pain.
There was fear.
There was a weight that didn’t just sit on the surface -
it settled deep.
And for a while… I carried it.
But there comes a moment -
and you don’t always know when it’s coming -
when something in you rises up.
Not loudly.
Not dramatically.
But firmly.
A quiet, steady knowing:
I cannot stay here.
That was the moment Joy’s Dance was born.
Not as an idea.
Not as a composition.
But as a decision.
I sat down and painted with intention.
Not to create something beautiful…
but to break through what I was feeling.
Every movement of the brush was part of that.
Pushing.
Reaching.
Breaking through.
She isn’t just dancing in the painting.
She is moving through something.
Through the weight.
Through the resistance.
Through everything that tried to hold her down.
There comes a time in our lives
when we dig deep -
deeper than we thought we could go.
And through sheer bravery,
and the grace of God…
we decide:
We are going to be okay.
Not because everything is okay yet.
But because we are no longer surrendering to the darkness.
We draw a line.
And we choose something different.
For me, that choice was joy.
Not a surface-level happiness.
Not pretending things were fine.
But a deeper joy.
A joy that says:
• I will rise
• I will move
• I will not stay where pain placed me
A joy that comes with strength.
With movement.
With life.
Joy’s Dance was never about perfection.
If you look closely,
you’ll see it.
The proportions aren’t exact.
The form isn’t polished.
But the movement is real.
Because it wasn’t painted from technique.
It was painted from a moment
where something inside of me broke free.
And maybe you’re standing in that place now.
That place where the weight feels heavy.
Where the path forward isn’t clear.
Where everything in you feels tired.
If you are…
I want you to know this:
There is a moment available to you.
A moment where something inside of you can rise.
Where you can say:
I will not stay here.
And through the grace of God,
you can take a step -
not out of everything at once,
but out of surrender.
Joy is not always soft.
Sometimes joy is strength.
Sometimes joy is movement.
Sometimes joy looks like breaking through.
And when that moment comes -
you will know.
Because something inside of you will say:
It’s time.
