I will rise above and live to my fullest potential.
I wanted to speak to the people last week that left comments. I was so overwhelmed with gratitude. It made me cry in a good way. I can not begin to tell you what it meant to me. For the people that spoke about their loved ones with Alzheimers. I am feeling your pain and I am thinking of you. You are strong and you will be ok. It is tough I know. The most important thing is this “ They may not be able to remember you but you remember them” Do not forget them. Keep them close.
Please everyone go and visit the people at Paint Party Friday. I am so sorry for not getting around to enough people last week. I love to see everyone’s creative endeavors. Everyone is so inspiring!

Lovely creation and great phrase to live by ~ take good care of YOU! ~ namaste, carol (A Creative Harbor) Happy PPF ^_^
I LOVE your crowned bird and your words about change are so true. I just wish I could realize those words while I'm in the MIDST of big, scary changes...
I read your post about your Mother as well. So beautifully written. I've been lucky to not need those tools but they are so good to know. I think you handled it with beauty and grace, just like you paint.
PPF Hugs,
Stephanie

I am anohter one who doens't like change, but you are so right, change is a part of life and must happen. Have a great weekend! :-)
Beautiful art, Heather.
Wonderful painting, I love all the patterns and palette...sort of reminds me of a William Morris textile.
You have such a wonderful way of putting deep emotions into words.
The patterns on this are gorgeous--really beautiful!
Beautiful piece. I always adore anything with birds! Have a wonderful weekend!
Really love this bird, and sentiment. And it is so you and your style. Nicely done! And thank you for sharing last week.
LOVE the texture, complex layers and the magical touches your style has, it just makes me happy - thanks for sharing!
Lovely painting. Accepting change is hard at first but when you can truly believe that everything is always working out for you, it gets easier and easier to adapt.
Happy PPF!
A message worth holding onto and such a beautiful painting, it lifts my spirit.
Though my Dad lost pieces of himself to the same disease, we held them and him, I cherished each moment we had together. Though he's gone now, his memory is strong.
Heather - You are already amazing, if the "fullest potential" is still coming - Wow! I can only imagine how spectacular it will be :)

p.s. I loved seeing the photos of your mother and reading your heartfelt post below... You are such an inspiration. I am facing some tough times with one of my grandmothers right now, not alzheimers, but I can relate in a lot of ways... Thank you for that post - I really needed to read those words. Big, big hugs to you...
This is a wonderful piece. Love the saying

Heather your painting is beautiful! I just saw the photos of your Mom in last week's post, they are so precious. My friend's mom died a year ago with Alzheimers and just last week she also lost her dad. Yes change is so hard to accept. Your beautiful post was so touching and inspiring. Hugs, Deb
This is a beautiful piece! I love the colors and texture.
Change is not always easy to go through, whether we like change or not. But def harder for those of us who don't like it! ;)
Your mixed media is wonderful and so inspiring! :)
Thank you for the inspiration, both in art and life.
