Broken but Beautiful

Here's that painting I promised y'all! The project was to depict a stained-glass window. Now, today is the anniversary of 9/11 so I am dedicating this piece to all the families who lost loved ones, and to all the fallen heroes, of September 9/11. Let's take a moment and remember them in our prayers.

 

We love you and will never forget

 

Dear Readers,

Hey, how are you??? I hope all is well.

   I know it's been a long while since I've written... alright, much too long. I'm sorry for that.
   How am I? Well, my semester started (which is the main reason I haven't written. If you're also in college then you know how crazy it can get, lol). Ya, it's going well, thanks. My English class is awesome, and painting is a blast, and although Math is still a mountain to be conquered, He says if we have faith we can move mountains (Matthew 17:20) so we'll see... *eye starts twitching.
   But I wanted to tell you! I have a new painting that I'll be posting soon!!! Yep, it's an assignment - which is due Monday - but I thought I would also share it here, just for fun, and you can tell me what you think.
   Don't worry, even though I'm busier now the good news will still be rolling and I'll still be posting about how wonderful, special and beautiful you are (which is the truth!). It might take me longer to get them together and put them up. So please be patient with me. 
   Well, I just wanted to say that I love you and miss you and will write soon. Hopefully it won't be too long until we chat again! But watch for that painting and we'll be in touch, I promise. Until then, happy reading y'all!


Sincerely,
Me

You are You

Original artwork by: Megan Finsel

You are who you are that is something no one can take,

It’s encoded, preprogrammed; you are what you make,

Yourself to be, so go all the way!

Cause it’s in the strands of your DNA!

You’re creative, outgoing, artistic, quirky, chic…

Passionate, strong, adventurous, sporty, unique…

The thumbprint of your personality equips,

You to be the “you” that you should be,
After all, that truth is already at your fingertips,
It's woven with your originality!

Never...

Let another day pass you by

Without finding a reason to smile

Never let a dream go

Without finding out if it's worthwhile

©

Never let another door close

Without seeing what lays beyond it

©

Never let yourself say:

"I quit!"

Never let an opportunity come and leave

Without even trying

Never waste another beautiful day

Crying

Never let another moment slip away
We should all seize the day!

The Truth of the Olympian Spirit within You

Heyu,

    Did you know that, within you, there is a place where all your possibilities reside?

    You already contain the potential for success; you already have that utter greatness and that special inner strength you need deep inside! You already have all the makings to be the person you long to be, you simply have to find it.

    Reach for it!

    Dig deeper!

    Until you uncover it and discover those possibilities within you.

    Those dreams you've buried? You can revive them. Those ambitions you've tamed? You can unleash them.

    Because, inside you there is that Olympian spirit, just longing for the gold, and longing to let your dreams take hold. But you will never know for sure, unless you try to find it.

Ready or not,
Why don’t you just give it a shot?

J
