Welcome to astridswords.ca          

My name is Astrid Hardjana-Large, and I am the creator of Astrid’s Words, my blog at astridswords.ca. My mission at Astrid’s Words is to inspire love, perseverance and individuality for the Journey of Life through visual and literary perspectives.

My journey began when Epilepsy entered my life at the age of eleven and I desire to share, with the world, the positivity life taught me. In my journey, I have accepted Epilepsy into my daily life, accepted the consequences of brain surgery, am recovering from a stroke and enjoying a life filled with self-discovery.

Art is a significant part of my life. Stitching and writing have been therapeutic ways for me to express myself. grow and reflect on the occurrences of my life. Poetry is my favorite art because it gives me opportunity to creatively reflect and share with others. I enjoy creating rhymes to amplify a positive perspective.

Every creation is inspired by life experiences and are reflections. I enjoy using diverse perspectives to inspire all visitors. All images on my site have been gathered from unsplash.com and various artists. I collaborate the work of various artists to encourage different outlooks on life to accommodate creativity.

I believe Life challenges help to maintain development. The more we persevere, the more we discover. It is my desire to inspire all followers towards motivation and appreciation. Please choose to keep persevering, every life experience is an opportunity to evolve and disclose personal strengths.

Thank you to everyone for visiting and sharing your thoughts with me. It is a great inspiration to hear from others and know that we can all relate!!
