While my original intent for this painting was specific to birthing a child, I think that "Empowered"s message is for anyone who needs more strength inspiring their day.
 
The flowers surrounding the arm are (bottom to top):
Mistletoe: "I surmount all difficulties"
Thyme: "Activity"
Fennel: "Strength"
Bay laurel tree: "Glory"
Oregano: Birth
