anchored

I’ve been dwelling a lot lately on the idea of being anchored, along with what it means to “belong to yourself” like Brene Brown talks about in her book, Braving the Wilderness. When this image first came into my mind, the woman was holding something in her hands. As it developed, though, I realized all she needed to be holding was herself, her hands creating an anchor point at her center.
