Becoming Whole

You were born with a destiny. Do you know yours? Are you fulfilling it, or have unexpected tragedy, heartache, and obstacles stood in your way? In a world full of divorce, addiction, health issues, abuse, financial struggle, and loss of all kinds, it seems nearly impossible to find your purpose and become who you were born to be. In her book, Becoming Whole, Heather Falter guides you through what it takes to get back up after such tragedies. Heather was an artist first. She wrote this book based on her painting Wings. The painting of a girl holding her broken wing was a piece of art scribbled into her journal and never intended to be shared with anyone. It was a lonely night's attempt at getting out a feeling that had been eluding her for years. As she painted she realized that through unexpected tragedy, and the pressures of life, she had lost parts of herself that she desperately wanted back. She felt lost and broken, and she wasn't sure where to go from there. On the back of her nearly-dry painting that night, she scribbled these words:'I'm not sure how my wings got this way. I'm not sure how or when they broke. It was slow and something of subtlety... My wings were as colorful as they come. Out of my own fear, I've let them fall and turn gray. I've hidden myself. I've tried to be something that others will be pleased with, and in doing so, I've only found displeasure with myself. This image is me promising myself something... That I will pick up my wings and let them teach me to fly. Please, my loving God, let them fly.'This book takes you back to the beginning and shows how piece by broken piece she found the girl she once lost. Her story is not only hers-It is all of ours.
