Though her face is hidden beneath the veil, her silhouette reveals a quiet strength, generosity, and a deep, vital force within her. Taking a step forward often comes with fear—especially when that step is bold, or leads in a completely new direction. Yet when someone moves ahead with resolute determination despite that fear, there is a strength that radiates outward and inspires even those who are merely watching. Perhaps true strength is something that rises from within. I hope that, like me, those who view this photograph will feel the quiet energy she holds—and find the courage to take their own first step.
