Thanks so much Terri!! I have a book in the works and I had totally forgotten about this poem!! I’m gad you like this verse! In my own opinion, it pays to be humble and remember just how small we are in a vast Universe. However, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t a part of that Universe!! Thanks again!! xoxoxo!! :)))

Aww…Rosie you are too kind!! Thanks so very much for the beautiful compliment!! Yes, I am definitely growing in my photography – exploring new post processing and having fun too!! I grew up as an Artist’s daughter, so I suppose I’m not only a chip off the ol’ block, but I also learned much about art at a very young age, since I was constantly exposed to my Dad’s Artwork!! Thanks so much again Rosie – I am very touched by your compliment!! xoxoxo!! :))))

Thanks so much Sis for such a beautiful compliment!! xoxoxo!! :))))

Aww…Arvy – your compliments always bring me such joy!! You are no doubt a kindred spirit and I think I knew that as soon as I saw your first picture!! Thanks so very much!! Peace and love right back attcha!! :))))

I had a very hard upbringing and had so much to figure out!! I still have more figuring out to do, but that is the joy of life and learning new realizations!! Thanks so much my dear friend!!! xoxoxox to you buddy!! :))))

Aww…thanks Rosa – for me, learning to believe in myself, came from forgiving past wrongs – as St. Francis once said, “To forgive is to forget.” It took me many years of prayer and deep thought, as well as taking action…I am as imperfect as we all are and am thankful for that! Imperfection has brought about many beautiful things in my life – mistakes that lead to either learning lessons or perhaps even a wrong turn down a road that turns out to be paradise! I grasp me as a tiny grain of sand. Alone, I stay that way…However, if I reach out to another grain of sand and offer kindness, friendship, love, smiles and laughter, then before I know it, I am linked to another tiny grain of sand! As time goes on, islands form and continue to grow, if I seek out people who are positive in their own beliefs! I believe in my destiny to be an Artist of many different mediums! By shedding once harbored fear, past misgivings and all of the crap that I used to carry around inside of me, I have been able to find a more spiritual self. It’s also a beief in not only me, but a belief that I am also a messenger, since the creative flow is what I consider to be divine, when it is truly there! It’s also my belief that as a messenger, that I am meant to share things that others may not see…I hope this helps to explain it more!! Please feel free to BM me if you need more explanation!! A good story for you to read is Unforgotten Pasts, Beautiful Presents and the Mystical Future
Perhaps this will help you understand more where I am coming from!! Thanks so very much for your lovely compliments – they are much appreciated!! :))))

Rosa, one other thing that I was thinking about after I wrote this to you, was that there are times that I do have self doubt! That is a part of being human!! When those times hit, I have to carefully evaluate what it is that either I am fearing or unsure of. Sometimes its gut feelings that I am going in the wrong direction and other times I have to reevaluate what I am doing and make changes, whatever they may be, to quell those doubts! Hope this helps!!
