Hi everyone

When we're challenged greatly by life I think it's only natural for us to feel weak and tested. And maybe it is a test, and maybe the result of that test doesn't come from endless nights with dry cheeks and false smiles. Maybe it all comes down to how hard we tried. That we made it. That we survived. Maybe we don't have to make everything perfect to be winners. Maybe a little belief in life and most importantly in ourselves will shelter us enough from the storm to get us through.

Looking back at my life, I have so many things I feel like I could have done better. Things I feel like I could have prevented or people I wished I could have saved. I greatly believe that if life kicks your ass, then kick it back, right in its lifey balls! But sometimes I wish I could do the very opposite. Just put my arms around life and hold it really close. Not asking it why it keeps on hurting me or how I can get it to slow down. Just hold it...and be thankful that it's in my arms.
Life doesn't have to be perfect, neither do we. I think our biggest strength is the way we can love, the way we can believe.
And I also believe that you have to in many ways create and contribute to the world you WANT to live in. When people say that happiness is 90 percent in your mind I believe them. Our mind, our hearts and souls are so much stronger than we think. Using only those three things we can forgive, move on, find hope, love and smile...And that's all that really matters. The darkness and the storm is there so that we can appreciate those calm mornings when the sun wakes us by gently kissing our cheeks. We might be woken with a bit of messy hair and torn up clothes from the night's storm, but we're still alive. Still smiling. And if you're ready to kiss the sun back with bruised eyes and dusty knees, then nothing can kill your soul...

I now finally have some time to feature some lovely artworks that I love here! I want to show you some very special pieces before that have been made as gifts or dedication to me and they mean so much.
