Look Up

When my family lived abroad, both in Ethiopia and Jordan, I often had to remind myself to look up...

If you looked down, it was easy to focus on the trash, the debris, the people struggling on the streets, or the poverty around you. But if you looked up, you could see the mountains, the sky, the eucalyptus trees, the date palms, or the tops of the hills of Amman.

Looking up helped me focus on possibility - the future and what could be.

Life is full of unpredictable and sometimes deeply painful moments. But this picture, taken on a walk in Amman, Jordan, reminds me that if I had been focused only on the trash beneath my feet, I would have missed the beautiful irises painted on the wall just above it.

Sometimes, we need help looking up.

At Desta Therapy, we walk alongside people through difficult seasons, helping them find hope, reclaim their joy, and live fully in the moment.

You may not be able to change everything around you, but sometimes, a different perspective can help you see what is still possible.
