Grace Heaped on Grace

You don’t know what cocoon someone else is sitting in right now.

This one is a gentle reminder to lead with kindness — for yourself and for every person you cross paths with today. We’re all somewhere on the journey. Some of us are just emerging. Some of us are still in the hard, dark middle. And all of us need a little more grace than we’re probably getting.

Bold green and gold upper wings alive with texture and energy, soft periwinkle lower wings quiet and open — this butterfly holds both the strength and the tenderness it takes to truly show up for others. Blue dots like little acts of kindness, scattered everywhere.

Give it freely. Heap it on. You’ll never run out.
