Photo taken by contributor Jacque who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADHD. She is a graphic designer, wife, and mother to two boys. She is learning to draw from God’s strength to get her through every day. She has also found art and music to be great healers and outlets for the soul.

About this photo: “I love the visual metaphor presented in this photograph of a staircase down a steep rock face. Sometimes we have to venture down through the layers and layers of our mind to be able to move upwards to freedom. In many cases, looking back shows us just how far we’ve come.”
