How to Transform as You Come Back From Adversity

Hannah, a doll made from a stray sock, is quite a helpless creature.

Hannah sometimes has days with her face in the dirt, like a caterpillar.

When she can’t take any more of life’s dirt, she creates a cocoon for herself,
Where she can heal, rejuvenate and recreate herself.

But eventually the cocoon becomes a prison, and she finds a way to break out.
As she emerges, she discovers that while cocooning, she has been transformed.

Hannah is helpless no longer; she can fly wherever she pleases.

Helpless Hannah has become the Comeback Queen!

By following Hannah’s process from caterpillar-in-the-dirt through spinning a cocoon, you too can find a way to transform as you come back from the adversity in your life.

Although I couldn’t name it for many years, in painting I encountered the power of the inner critic to control and limit my life. This force that counters the desire to create is within each of us. Generally the critic doesn’t appear in full force until you are in a situation where you have the opportunity to do what you want, something important, and self-chosen, something with risk.
