I’d like to see some of those paintings. I’ll bet you can express some very deep emotions within the strokes of that brush!

No weekends, no holiday, no nothing!! But guess what? I have a secret…I actually love it. LOL. Really, I enjoy it but I’m ready to broaden my horizons so to speak or add some “in addition to” activities in my life if you know what I mean.
As far as the paintings, that’s something that I have been inspired to teach myself after having back to back inspirations glaring me in the face. My natural ability is to draw. I specialize in portraits and abstracts, I’m sure I will share some of my work eventually. Until then thanks for the positive input…I can definitely count on you for that Mr. Encourager!!

As your friend, I stand ready to help you in any way I can to help you with “broadening your horizons.” That can include self improvement along with self expression.
Figure out what your next move is, make a plan, set a goal or two, and LAUNCH! I’m there all the way to encourage, listen, whatever you need!
You’re a super person and I’m sure you will find some new and amazing things for yourself!

I guess I missed congratulating the two of you for this award! You sound like a fun young lady to be around LaTrice! In fact, I’d say I KNOW you are! People can get a “read” on others by way of reading what they write, and what they share about themselves.
You are a sincere and generally happy soul and committed to your Father in heaven! It’s fun to have you as a friend here at WP!

Thanks Steve! I appreciate your insight. And you shall be called the “Soul Lifter” ;=) Just kidding. I do remember however giving you a nickname so to speak sometime ago. I don’t recall exactly when or what it was, do you? I know it was given because of the encouraging and supportive comments you always make. It’s a blessing to have a brother in Christ Jesus such as your self.
Be A Blessing!

Oh LaTrice, I’m sorry but I can’t remember the nickname. It may have been something like “the Encourager” or like that. Anyway, I like the “Soul Lifter!” If I can help to make you happier and motivated in any way, I’m very glad!!
And I love having you as a dear friend in the faith as well. You raise my spirits as you write your posts with such enthusiasm and skill! And you are so appreciative for so little from me!
I am always happy to see your smiling “face” in my comments each day. You are a blessing to me and lift my heart too!
