I was given this .... um ... I won't say, since then you will know my age. I feel 25, so we will go with that. I was given this a very long time ago, way before I truly found myself (my whole self). I was going through a very difficult time in my life at that point. I came across this declaration again while organizing paperwork recently, so I thought I would share it with you. I was given many other helpful things that I will soon share. I am not sure who to acknowledge as the author, since … [Read more...] about A Declaration of Self Esteem

Nature’s Love
A little something I painted last night. Nature's Love is in honor of the many signs of love I see in the nature all around us. One just needs to seek and you will find. I have hidden a heart in my painting. Can you find it? (The oil is still wet so it is a little shiny in the photo.)
