The Phoenix

Why Did I Choose the Phoenix as My Logo?

If you don’t know the legend of the phoenix, briefly, it’s about a beautiful mythical bird who will burst into flames at its time of death.

But then...ah, then - the phoenix will rise again from the ashes to ascend in glory.

Many people love the imagery of the rising phoenix: a dazzling, fiery bird in its full power, glorious to behold. I’ve found most people focus on the ascendance. It’s a lovely concept, and one I take to heart - we are all capable of standing back up and coming into our power.

However, what I find most beautiful about the legend is this...

The phoenix will inevitably burn to ash again.

It’s true to life. We regularly encounter trials that break us down and bring us low, grief, trauma, heartache, major life changes, they’re part of being human.

So why does that give me hope?

Because the phoenix rises again.

And again.

And again.

Every time the phoenix ascends into its glory, it is stronger, more beautiful, and more resilient.

Just like the sun, you can rise anew every day.

Powerful.

When hard things happen to us, we get to choose who we will become when we stand back up.

Who we will grow into.

What we will discard and what we will embrace.

Change is the only constant.

When we choose to hold on to hope, when we decide we can, and will, grow from our heartbreaks, we step into our power and allow our light to shine even brighter.

It’s okay to fall.

It’s okay to break down.

It’s okay to grieve.

It’s normal to feel confusion from time to time.

Sometimes, you need a new path.

Sometimes, you need to shed that which no longer serves you.

As part of the natural cycle of life, you get to decide who you become.

And isn’t that a magical thought?

It’s time to choose yourself.

Let’s ascend, together.
