She felt wrapped in the arms of Community.   Other words are by Martin Luther King, "Everything that is done in the world is done by hope".  I love both of these quotes.

Each Day

This picture speaks for itself.  I love how the girl is sitting in her chair relaxing and the words say it all.  She has a choice what to do with her day.  I choose joy.

Trust your Instincts. 

I was thinking about what I use to tell my girls when they were little and they had a dilema they were facing.  I would always tell them to trust their instincts, because their instincts were good, they knew right from wrong and could trust themselves to make right decisions,  It was also about reading other peoples' motives.  I would talk with them about  listening to their gut feelings about a person, that it was almost always correct.  I believe that was the Holy Spirit in them telling them the truth, and to learn to listen to it.

Possibility

She learned to cup possibility in her hand.  This was done right before Christmas 2011 while thinking about the coming year 2012.  I can't wait to see the possibilities opening up for me in 2012!  Its going to be a great year.

Cafe-Bar

This painting I did with the idea of creating two more similar type buildings.  I like the way this one came out.
