Strength
"I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." - Maya Angelou
Strength looks different for each of us. It is found in the unique stories of how we turned courage and bravery into action. Many gentle rebels' sensitivity has been misinterpreted as fragility or weakness. You might have spent your life absorbing the emotions of others, carrying burdens that were not your own, and adapting to environments that didn’t always feel safe for you to be yourself.
Rewriting our story through the lens of sensitivity isn't about resisting or hardening but about our ability to remain flexible, firm, and open. It’s in our capacity to accept and respect our sensitivity and use it to make the world a little more creative and caring. Here in The Haven, we celebrate the quiet power of sensitivity and provide space to nurture the strength that grows from self-acceptance and gentle courage.
You are enough—just as you are.
