Bloom where you are planted!

One loses many laughs by not laughing at oneself.

There are some people who want me and my husband to stay where it is safe and draw a paycheck every week instead of what we are doing (which is creating and sharing our art with others). The truth is that there are people in this world - Dave and I being two - who would die a slow painful death if stuck in an office and made to do the kind of work that we are not made to do.

My mother always read to me as a child. I really believe that bonding time between a parent and child is so important and precious. I have lasting memories of those stories because the experience was special.

I am extremely thankful for my family. I am very thankful for what God is allowing me to do artistically. What a dream come true for me! That I get the opportunity every single day to use my talent for His glory.

Life is too short to be safe and sit still and do nothing. Unless of course that is what God has for you to do in a particular place in your life.

Life is too short to not tell every one you know about Jesus. I need to practice this more.
