With you friend. I had a girl tell me that 10 years ago and I sobbed. Reframed and powerful. Together.

I have loved Jane Austen since I was a teenager. Your painting is looking wonderful, and I hope you find the brush you are after! Having the right tools for the job makes all the difference in the world. Thank you for sharing your journey ❤️

Thank you, Bob. Love the encouragement! Being an artist is more vulnerable than a writer for me. I'm trying. 💙

Ginger, you truly are a warrior! I second what Megan said! I love this! I also LOVE Hallmark movies and I loved the opening of your story! I haven't heard of these movies, however I have heard of The Biltmore! I remember when some nieces went there and talked about it. But besides that, I love how honest you are and how much you are growing in confidence. Ahhh, the worry and the "frets!" - We've all been there. I think because my mama is an extreme worrier/warrior (and willingly takes it all!

Despite our begging her not to) - I tend to practice fearlessness more as a my inner rebel rises. Your horse painting is coming along wonderfully! What a talent you are! Sending you a big hug. ox

Deborah, I have been skipping in and out between family camping trips and such. Finally taking a moment to enjoy reading and replying. Thank you so much. It is a pleasure to write, share my art, and just be here together. Hugs back! 🤗
