(it reads, “un-broken wings, discovered”)
lately, i’ve been feeling my strength. i came out of a funk several weeks ago and today, many moons later, i can see its purpose. as the buddhist believe, i’m learning that our funks can be little distractions to keep us busy while something bigger and better is being born for us. i have loved and embraced this belief the moment i learned of it years ago. i can feel myself reaching and learning and growing. it feels good. the trick is to stay in these moments and visions of a life growing stronger. it’s hard work, isn’t it?
a flower for you…found today on my walk with bella. before i left for my walk, john gave me a a large mug full of hot chocolate with a pile of whip cream on top. he surprised me…said i would need it on this unusually chilly day. i love my husband.
Hi, I'm Kelly Rae Roberts!
Before I picked up my first paintbrush at the age of 30, I was a medical social worker. I followed my whispers and started playing with paint and everything changed.
Now I’m a full-time artist, author and Possibilitarian, who helps women explore and nourish their creative souls.

I can so relate to the way you described yourself here! Only my shifts seem to go in days and not weeks. That can be quite confusing and frustrating. I appreciate your words, which help me understand myself a bit better. Your posts speak to things inside me that I have a hard time putting my finger on. When I read them, they bring clarity, comfort and inspiration to my journey.
Also, we just returned from the Pacific Northwest. I can definitely see why you love and miss Portland so much. What an awesome place!
Peace,
Lisa
I needed these words today. You are a part of me “taking flight” out of my funk as well, isn’t THAT awesome?
Hi Kelly,
Lovely post…….i think when we are in a funk it’s a way of being pregnant…..we are gestating waiting to give birth to something miraculous!
I just read your wonderful article in CPS! How inspiring!
Congratulations on your book! I can’t wait to read it next Sept!
Love, Violette
I came across your site for the first time & its such a happy place. No matter how grumpy, I should be happy with my wonderful husband and incredible daughter & realize how lucky I am to be able to create art and have the time to look at others’. This is a place I will visit again & again.
I so agree and absolutely love the way you put it. When I’m in a funk I tend to just think of myself as grouchy and unfocused until that moment of ah-ha comes along. Thanks to you know I will be in a funk instead and know why!
Just found your blog through Time With Shelby. Love it. Will be back to visit more.
it’s hard work, indeed!!!
so lovely is the realization that we are not always alone on this path to self-discovery…that beautiful women, like yourself, are travelling parrell paths…offering up support and gentle reminders…
i love this new piece 😉
have a wonderful day, kelly!!!

This is amazing and so inspiring to read your words – you seem to have summed up things I could never have figured out about myself :=)
