What Will You Remember - 'The New Dawn Blooms'

Thank you Elin Spring, Suzanne Révy (What Will You Remember?)! I am on cloud nine to be part of 'The New Dawn Blooms' - featuring an extract of Amanda Gorman's inspiring poem with beautiful images from various artists.

When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid
The new dawn blooms as we free it
For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it
If only we’re brave enough to be it
~ excerpt from “The Hill We Climb” by Amanda Gorman

I remember sports psychologist, Peter Usher, encouraged us to stick inspiring phrases on our walls to remind ourselves to be positive. I need to revive this practice!
