Artwork By My Friend Shane

I have a friend I have recently reconneted with from high school. His name is Shane Pinkerton. I have a way of "knowing" who is going to be important in my life and in it for a reason, Shane is one of those people.
Without saying too much (I will write his story soon), here is a little about him. Shane worked in a business where looks are everything, these paintings are about how he felt about getting older and the unknown.
Today, I shared and old little crayon drawing I had that helped me begin to heal. He shared his art with me. Art heals. It takes time but sometimes, when you can't say it, you can paint it.
Thanks Shane!

Never allow the feeling of "stuckness" to dictate your life there are bad situations we all get in but there are answers Listen and decide to do one small thing to make yourself happy each day... this way you are getting ideas as to your favorite things Favorite things can lead to favorite jobs of hobbies Listen to your heart.

Sometimes, when you think you are peaceful you are still blocking stress......I'm going to try try try to do better.

I guess God wanted me to take a breather and rest a few days, it is sometimes hard for me (as a mom) to rest without guilt. I'm trying and I am noticing the lovely sky again.

In the hospital

I have two more favorite things/people before I end this week of favorites! The Sullivan Family! I love them all. Leslie is my soul sister, I don't know what I would do without her! DeeDee Vincion, I have only know her in the past as Debby's sister, but I am so thankful we are close friends now. I love her! Okay, a few more things I love, MY FAMILY (I wasn't going to included them because everyone knows they are my favorites but I have to mention them, my friends I have met through being on Supernanny (the other supernanny moms (kadi, brenda and Sara) , Jo and her big heart, my friends I still love from the JF message board, the Refuge (life changing group, New Life university, who has helped give me a new life, Mrs, Arnold,

(cara loves her so much), and Kathy Ward, who was my sponsor (I guess you still are Kathy) when I was difficult! This sounds like an award acceptance speech and maybe I have one because I am blessed by so many great, full hearted friends!

I have to tell about one of my favorite pictures. It makes me laugh every time I look at it. My friend Leslie has a little girl, named, Bella. Bella is 17 months old. I love her so much, well, my entire family loves her so much (and her sis brookelynn). She is so funny. She has a little addiction. It is biting everything, people, dogs, kids at her preschool. Leslie talks about it on facebook a lot. ONe of Leslie's friends photoshopped one of Bella's pictures and put it on facebook. Here is is... Please know, this is a PHOTOSHOPPED pic (it freaked my mother out at first) Here is Hannibal Bella.
