She took a step today.

She put herself out there.

She allowed herself to explore old passions and dreams.

She pushed herself.

She was scared,

but did it anyway.

She has had a long journey,

but she wants to keep going,

and keep living for today.

She is courageous.

She is strong.

She can do hard things.

She knows there is hope for tomorrow.

She feels a calmness,

this time, this feeling, it’s a different kind of peace.

She knows now, she can move past pain,

She can move into purpose.

She looks ahead.
