During a Creative Strength Training class, I discovered that the Tower isn't just an archetype—it's the moment life changes forever. Through my own journey of surgery, recovery, and unexpected setbacks, I realized healing isn't about returning to who we were. It's about becoming someone stronger than we ever imagined.

Healing takes more than medicine. It takes patience, emotional strength, support, hope, and learning to slow down one day at a time. This week I’m sharing a deeply personal reflection on what healing really looks like.

After surviving a serious post-surgical infection and emergency surgery, artist Deb Deaton reflects on fear, emotional healing, vulnerability, and the unexpected art that emerged from the experience. A deeply personal story about intuition, survival, and continuing anyway.

A quiet reflection of healing, slowing down, and what it means to stay connected to your creativity - even when life asks you to move differently.
