Fibromyalgia is a gift.  

I know you are not used to being told that, but it is.  

It allows you to feel much earlier on then most others when your body is under stress, and allows you to stop and release it instead of shoving tension down in your body and manifesting a more serious disease before you will notice.

Fibromyalgia is a life saver, when you use it as your own personal barometer of stress.  

An alarm that signals when you need to slow-it-dowwwwnnnnn.

There are lots of things you can do to help manage your fibromyalgia, including lots of restorative deep sleep, massage, yoga, fish oil and more.  

This healing art collage is yet another path towards healing.   

It reminds you the muscle tension and pain flares up to teach you to catch your breath and surrender.  That you've done enough for now.  That you are worthy of a break, of support, of putting down your burdens for the day.

Using paint, inks, vintage sheet music, decorative papers, vinyl lettering and more, I created this collage on a 12 x 16 inch wood panel to showcase the most helpful healing quote that can re-center someone dealing with chronic pain or illness, such as fibromyalgia:

When you follow your bliss, doors open where you would not have thought
there would be doors, and where there wouldn’t be a door
for anyone else. – Joseph Campbell

Stand outside the door when you need to catch your breath.  Listen to the music of life and know that you have danced enough for today.  Refocus on your bliss... your gratitude... your rest.  And before you know it, by focusing on what feels right within you, you will find your toes tapping along to the rhythm of life once again.  You will want to open that door and re-enter the party... healthier then ever before.

This healing collage is the original artwork and will come fully framed in a black wood frame, ready to hang.
