Here’s a revised version of the statement that addresses the run-on sentences:

The Artist is honored and grateful for all she has been blessed with over the last few years. She lived through a bleak time in her life, including serious health issues and other difficult circumstances that she survived. Through these challenges, she found strength and courage. These experiences turned out to be blessings in disguise because they shifted her artistic focus from painting to photography. This change has garnered her attention not only locally but also nationally and internationally.

The Artist's sudden shift in mediums occurred due to the difficult circumstances she faced. My healing journey began through a deeper connection to nature and art. I finally found the courage to believe in myself and pursue my dreams rather than allowing my difficult life experiences to break me. I learned to channel the emotions from my painful experiences into something positive. My two loves, nature and art, have always brought me solace and inner peace.

If you're unhappy with your current life story's outcome, learn to take the pain and challenges of yesterday and view them as opportunities for growth. Use the knowledge gained from these experiences to transform your life into something more positive, fulfilling, and beautiful. Allow these challenges to empower you rather than defeat you. Believe in yourself, because you are worth it. No one else will believe in you until you do.

Remember that you hold the power to write a new chapter—one that fills you with joy, gratitude, peace, and happiness. I hope to inspire others to realize that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. You hold the pen and the brush to your life's story and always have the power to create a happier, brighter chapter and future. YOU ARE Limitless!
