Artistic leanings

Sometimes, one of the hardest things to do in life is to take a chance. We wade through self-doubt, risk defeat, and are often disappointed. It's hard to stay the course when there are so many bumps in the road. It's easy to get derailed. What gets us through? Persistence, courage and support.

This is my sister's story: Completely self-taught and totally gifted, she is an artist. Most of her work is very personal. She has a way of capturing the sweetest sensibilities of children.

So today, I'm celebrating her art and her courage. She recently exhibited at a local art show. I'm hoping it's the first of many.
