Today, the best gift I have received is YOU.

If your reading this than thank you from the top, bottom and middle of my heart for being a friend. For making me laugh, listening to my babble, inspiring me, hugging me, and moving forward in this crazy world we live in as a friend. I am more grateful than I can express in words to be blessed with such beautiful, amazing, caring, and joyous people that I get to call friends in this world. Yes, Im a sap, so thanks for letting me be a big ole sap too. And thank you for letting me bad at spelling things. :)

I love each and every one of you and am not sure what I did to deserve this life, but with all its up and downs and struggles, the beauty and blessings far exceed anything I could have ever imagined.

Love you guys~

"My paintings and drawings evolve from automatic applications of color into very cognitive pieces of work. The lines begin to take shape; the shapes begin to take form, sometimes living between the worlds of abstract and surreal. I like to think that I paint how 'nature' would paint itself...with the freedom to evolve and the ability to evolve effectively."~ John Benko
