My HARDEST Journey, but BIGGEST Art Project...

Ойын-сауық

Here's a vulnerable story about my hardest journey, but biggest art project. Welcome to Freedom in Bloom: a painting collection consisting of 10 paintings I made while reflecting on one of the biggest struggles I've ever faced. This is a more serious video, but my hope is that it meets other people where they are in their own struggles. Sending all my love. 💜

    Mira, I have stage 4 breast cancer that has overtaken my body and I’m stuck in a hospital bed at home, unable to walk, and I was given just 3 months in November 2021 to live. I have had months of treatment deferred due to liver enzymes being erratic. I’ve fought to meet my first grandchild, so amazing and a great goal to aim for. My next goal is my daughter’s wedding. It’s 18 months away, I’m not likely to make it but I’m gonna try. Your “hug” that you want to give people through the screen comes in the form of your videos. Freedom in bloom is such a great name. Thank you for sharing ❤️

    My birthing story is similar, I was bedridden for 4 months. I know the feeling of not being able to take care of your baby and to have to humble yourself and let others help you. You start to realize how much you take for granted and months later I was able to visit my parents in Arizona and climb my favorite mountain. As I was going up the mountain with my sweet baby on my back a hiker told me I was a strong mama. I wanted to cry. I had come so far. I love this collection. I love that you shared your story because there are so many people that need to hear that they will one day bloom. Thank you Mira!

    My chronically bad mental health is affecting my dental hygiene (amongst other things) and I was forced to go to the dentist today. The verdict is that I have to fix two teeth and pull a third. This isn't the first time this has occurred and it makes me feel like such a loser. I'm agnostic so I don't really believe in God, but I do believe in community, art and solidarity, so this video felt very heartwarming and just.. nice. Thank you for sharing, hugs from Sweden!

    I’m disabled because I was born with kyphoscoliosis, so my spine curves really far forward and side to side and it comes with a lot of pain, especially after 13 spinal surgeries that have failed to help. I can barely get around my house most days, and I don’t get to go out much. When you spoke about being on the other side of the hurt, I thought to myself “I wish I could have that.” And then you spoke about people like me who are chronically ill or disabled and can’t do things and can’t see that light at the end of the tunnel or hope to be better someday, and I just broke down. Thank you, Mira, for the reminder that there is always hope. If not for full healing, at least for joy.

    I needed to see your video today. I've had to deal with a debilating disease for nearly 30 years. I've slowly lost more and more of my mobility and freedom. Because of my disease, I'm so limited on treatments. So, I've had to learn to live with pain. About a month ago I started having some serious issues with my back. A week ago, the pain moved down both of my thighs and the spasms became unbearable. I was feeling so low today. The medicine I take actually knocks me out and I'll sleep 12+ hours. When I finally got up today after dealing with the pain and all its aftermath, I was below depressed. Then, I dialed into you. Myra, your message was exactly what I needed. Although I've handled these challenges for years, sometimes it gets too hard and for a moment I feel like giving up. You reminded me that there are miracles and we have too much to just give up. So... thank you, Myra. I've followed you for years now, and you never disappoint. I forgot to turn to my passion - art. I got you message loud and clear.

Three years and 16 sketchbooks later I'm much calmer in my mind from the 'art therapy' I got from it. I adore your floral paintings in general and these are even better with the extra meaning.

When I look at it every morning, it will remind me to look forward to a beautiful day, no matter how painful and debilitating my arthritis gets. Before I got the art bug, I was much more in pain and didn't want to get out of bed. But now that I collect beautiful art and make my own, I have a new lease on life. For the first time in 40 years, I feel like I know what I want out of life and feel I have a purpose for living.

    I have a chronic illness as well, it's invisible, it effects my body where walking or moving just causes pain. I have had days where I would sit and cry from pain and exasperation and sometimes the worst thing about a chronic condition is it's consistently there. I don't get a day I am "healed", I'll never know another day without this illness, but something that gave me hope is making it manageable. Something huge in this is grief and the last stage of grief is that acceptance, and I accepted I can heal by managing it and not letting my illness control me. I vented through art as well, I digitally painted work to express my pain and once I let myself cry I got to work. I researched ways to control, ways to help triggers, ways to help pain, and now I can say I am at a point where I am a person who has a chronic illness and not a chronically ill person! And something that came out of that was understanding how much of a gift the human body is when it's at fully firing cylinders. Going for runs and walks, hiking, even driving, I view as such a gift. I went from atheist to agnostic (I have a complex relationship with religion but I do believe now in a god) through this illness and have found so much love in such quiet mundane moments. Just seeing a waterfall or walking and feeding ducks feels so beautiful and I just appreciate life so much. I feel like that's the gift of a condition, that appreciation. Hearing your story and trials and tribulation I can hear that appreciation too, the appreciation of the life we have and what we can do as humans! I appreciate hearing your story and hearing your journey out and sharing it, since I think others do forget how amazing life is until they loose those beautiful parts of it.

    Thank you for sharing your post partum struggles. I actually found you in Jan '22 while I was recovering from the birth of my 2nd child. My first baby, in Dec 2018, was fairly traumatic as I was diagnosed with preeclampsia and had to deliver at 34 weeks, after what had been a surprisingly easy, pleasant and healthy pregnancy. The preeclampisa came out of nowhere and delivery was hard, and both baby and I had been in the hospital a combined 2 months. 1 month prior to delivery for me, 1 month in the NICU for my son. We both ended up being absolutely fine, but in that moment, when you deliver a baby and you have complications, and your horomones are absolutely unhinged, it can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The birth of my 2nd was far less stressful, he was 2.5 weeks early but still considered full term so no long hospital stays for either of us but I still struggled with crazy blood pressure afterwards and I was very stressed about that, and thats when I had discovered you. I loved the calm, easy going way you spoke and painted and I would put on one of your videos when I was checking on my blood pressure (which I did multiple times a day) to have something calm to watch and listen too and not obsess over the BP machine. Pregnancy and delivery is absolutely wild but like you said, so so worth it. I love my two babies more than anything and they were worth the stress. I still want one more lol. Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment. Anyway, love your videos and your art!

    Thank you for sharing. I think it’s so important for people who are struggling to hear stories of hope and faith. Following a bad car accident, I had three neck surgeries. There was a time when my pain would trigger anxiety and my anxiety would trigger even more pain - it felt like a merry-go-round I could not get off of. My children were very young at the time and my pain/injury forced me to ask for help, to rely on others, to be vulnerable, and to have faith that there was another side to this experience. Like you, I’m on the other side and even tho I still have pain, it’s manageable. The gratitude I feel helps. So to anyone reading this, even if the other side of your experience is a new normal, there’s still room for joy, connection and gratitude in your new normal.♥️

    Your story hits home HARD. We lost my mother to MS five years ago (though as her motto was “I have MS it doesn’t have me” will get me haunted for saying we lost her to it😂). She was diagnosed in 2000 when I was five. She gave birth to my brother in 2005. Her first symptom was numbness in her leg. She also had miserable pregnancies and she and I almost died due to her hemorrhaging. This was after several miscarriages as well! I see her journey in you. In your determination, your embrace of your own wackiness and uniqueness, in your privacy/boundaries, even in your love of nature and walks (when she lost mobility it crushed her). Nerve damage is something we’ve been all too familiar with. I’d like to think that she’s in her paradise but knowing her she’s off looking after mothers like you and her. May the gods always guide your way and may your fields always be abloom!

Experiences like this bring us closer to Him. Just bought this print and I am so excited. I am choosing joy and being grateful as you are. Thankful for you!!

    These 2 years have been really rough for me. But your videos always made me smile. I am really grateful to you for telling that it's ok to have a bad day when I really needed it. You've been through a lot and I really wish you all the best. I'm really happy that you shared this story with us. Thanks a lot for making such an amazing content.

    Wow. What a beautiful accomplishment, in every possible way. Your paintings glow with abundance and life energy. I'm I'm so glad you had the courage to share your story with everyone. I totally get your feeling of gratitude; you are so fortunate to have had this happen while you and your family are young instead of waiting decades before life gives the challenge that allows you to forge your strongest self. I went through several pretty rough cancer events in my 40s, wasn't expected to survive more than a few months, if that, on the last one. But all the stars were in alignment and my doc just happened to be designing one of the 2 clinical trials exploring immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma, (now the basis for standard of care! Woooohoooo!) Anyway, those were some really rough years, and definitely took a toll on my body, but here I am 11 years later and 62😮 years old, loving every day, caring for my family, and still working on my garden and painting . I've got nearly bullet proof resilience now, and when life throws wrenches at me I now know how to grab them and use them to build something awesome. I am so glad you are able to sniff (and paint) the flowers. You're an inspiration.

    Mira It must have been hard for you to share this vunerable experience with you viewers, but I am so glad that you did. I came from a place of struggle in my life that was just the worst time I can remember. I had struggled with cancer three times and I didn't think I would get through it. What got me through was the love of my family, and my new found love for life. I am so glad that your painting helped you through the hard times. I feel for you after the birth of your childern but I know in my heart you will be a great mom with all the love and tenderness you have to offer your husband and beautiful babies.

    Hello Mira! You are literally my biggest motivation! Your voice is just so calming that whenever I watch your videos, I instantly feel a burst of positivity. I've recently been feeling quite off, but watching your videos makes me feel so much better! Your videos are seriously so underrated and should get so much more attention! You are amazing and deserve to hear it!

One of His blessings was to allow me to find your channel years ago. I deal with constant kidney stones that grow too large to pass on their own…but God!! He always helps me through those times even when the doctors can’t. Thank you for being YOU and for this very vulnerable video!!

    You are such an encouragement, dear sister in Christ! I have chronic pain from spina bifida in my sacroiliac and most of the right side of my body. It’s been a lot worse lately, and I’ve been super discouraged and bewildered as to how I can be of any use. On top of that, my anxiety has been stopping me from making art, making me feel trapped by my insecurities and shortcomings. But your story and your paintings reminded me that this is just one stop along the journey and I can and will keep going. For one thing, I’m going to change up my art for a while. I love whimsical nursery art and that’s less pressure for me than semi realistic still life, which I also love. So, I’m going to try that for awhile. Thank you for blessing us with your journey!
