I’m a big fan of fables and metaphors….and somewhere in my life …I don’t remember where…or when …or from whom…I picked up this little story which has helped me soldier on through life no matter what obstacles cross my path…and now being a mother ( of two beautiful boys, 6 and 2)...I have passed this story onto my eldest…as he is at school now and is finding his own obstacles to tackle…It can be so heartbreaking as a parent to see your child in torment …but knowing that it is important for them to deal with issues in order to learn coping skills and build their character…but as a parent I can arm them with advice and guidance and support…..and it seems that this story is helping him as much as it did for me… Here is this little tale that I would like to pass on… Once there was a farmer…This farmer awoke one morning to a terrible sound….on investigating he found his donkey had fallen down the old derelict well….the farmer could see no way to get the donkey out of the well as it was very deep…the donkey bayed and bayed until the farmer could stand it no more…he considered his options and decided that the donkey was old and had enjoyed a good life and that he was going to have to fill in the old well anyway…so he decided that he would fill the well and turn it into the donkeys early grave…the farmer gathered his friends and neighbors to aid him in his gruesome chore….so, they begin to shovel dirt down the well onto the donkey …when the donkey realizes his fate he begins to bay wildly…an awful spine chilling sound…the farmer and his burial troupe are undeterred and continue their chore…until the farmer notices it has suddenly gone quiet…curiosity causes him to peer over the edge into the well…what he sees surprises him….each time the dirt is shoveled onto the donkey he shakes it off and steps up on it….shovel…shake…step up….until eventually the donkey jumps over the edge of the well and trots off into the paddock… Now…if you did not see it…the moral of this story is… / ...When life shovels dirt on you…Shake it off…and Step up… I Truly hope this can help you in your life as it has helped me and my Family. Warmest wishes of a healthy happy life… Care.

3 years ago my world fell apart and i collapsed, just a ‘little’ thing took me down, but i had been trough several times of pain and desparation in my life, i finally was so out of balance i just couldn’t pick myself up again to enjoy life, so i gave in. / Untill i asked the universe for help, that was my first step to where i am today… / Have been going through rough times, locked myself up in our bedroom crying for days about all the times i had tucked my pains away to a deep place i thought i would never have to look at them again… silly me…when painfull things happen you are allowed to grief and let it out. / I have been on meds for a few months but that just made me numb, and didn’t take away the pain. But as i asked for help, the right people came along. And so i met an amazing couple who helped me together, one for the talking and crying and the other for meditations and Reiki ( and crying) the medication got switched to energetic liquids. Learning to let go of things, understanding why things happen, what this world and it inhabitants are really about and most importand getting back in touch with that Higher Spirit i call God. Talking, reading and hearing about Yeshua and hours of healing took me step by step back to my own power. / This week i stopped also with the energetic liquids and now i am on my own, now i have to trust on my own strength. / So there might be some tears again every now and then when i have to reach deep, but i do believe in me. / Red Bubble is a part of the healing, Thank you Saleire ,angel for bringing me here, you have a special place in my heart. It’s because of people like you i got my trust in me back. And thanks to her i met even more wonderfull people and i truly believe Red Bubble is more then a place to sell art…... / this is not about feeling sorry for myself so please don’t you guys feel sorry for me.. it’s about sharing how life can seem to be a desperate place, but how it can all change when you have the courage to open your heart and ‘simply’ ask for help…...

I am blessed to have my Image of Flame featured in the group called Living Christianity. When I designed this piece I did not realize the symbolism until my daughter explained it to me.The spiral represents the cycles of life, growth and change. The bubbles form a heart around the flame. This makes a visual representation of a remembrance of the eternal flame of love that remains in my heart for my Dad. Thank you so much to the Living Christianity Group.
