‘Despite appearances, people may be doing the best they can. Think that no one is to blame, and the humility in your attitude will enable everyone to move forward.’ By: Dadi Janki.
Despite my appearance, I am doing the best I can! What I have on the inside does reflect on my appearance. Love and compassion for life are the reasons why I’m creating illustrations today.

‘The Truth Is Rarely Pure, And Never Simple’ quote written by Oscar Wilde and ‘The Only Excellence of Falsehood…Is Its Resemblance to Truth….’quote written by Charlotte Lennox.
The Truth is rarely pure and never simple when a person takes the truth out of context. Taking the Truth out of context can be changing the Truth to fit the person’s needs. Sometimes other people will believe the Falsehood because its so believable. All I can say, go straight to the source and ask before believing what is being said, or trust your inner guidance.

‘True Abundance’
Mary Manin Morrissey wrote this quote on True Abundance. This quote is a reminder, we can’t find what we’re looking for unless we find it within ourselves. I believe True Abudance is quality and not quantity. When a person wants to find True Love, he or she must be willing to give True Love. True Love is giving all of ourselves; the Emotional, Mental, Physical, and Spiritual being. Whatever we give, we’ll receive.

‘Your Worth and Purpose in This Life’
A quote written by Kay Arthur.
When I first read this quote, it reminded me of my own personal experience. Although I had an executive position and making good money, it wasn’t what our Creator or God wanted for me. I am an artist who love creating artwork to help inspire other people who are struggling. Why?? Because I’ve been there! Now that I know my worth and purpose in life, I am paying it forward. One person at a time.

‘Appreciation…Love…and Respect…are some of the greatest gifts we can share with others.’
The photo serves its purpose in how to appreciate, love, and respect the beauty of the flower, even when it’s an odd color.
Sometimes we can go overboard in trying to impress other people and it can be very costly. Appreciation… Love… and Respect… are some of the greatest gifts we can share with others. Why not send our special someone an Email or a text saying how much we appreciate having them in our lives today, and how much we love and respect them for sharing their lives with us.

‘Can You See Me Now??’
Sometimes others can’t see or hear us. Perhaps we may not meet their standards or expecations. Our thoughts, feelings or ideas may not be the same as theirs. Instead of fighting a losing battle, maybe we should think about changing our game plan. Find the right audience who will see and hear us.

‘What is a Weed?
A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.’
Quote written by: Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every living thing has a purpose or reason for being on earth. Instead of judging it by how it looks or how it behaves, I believe its a reminder of how blessed and fortunate we are today. Weeds are food for insects and other life form that exist.

I was very touched by such beauty in a forgotten garden!
‘Destiny’
“Either control your own destiny, or someone else will!”
Quote written by: John F. Welch, Jr.
We are the creators of our own destiny or fate. We put our destiny or fate in other people’s hands by allowing them to control how we should think or feel, or what we do. Our Creator gave each and every one of us the free-will to choose our own destiny. All I can say, “Live your own life and not the life of others!”

‘Love Is Everywhere’
Photo was taken on June 21, 2009 in one of my clients forgotten garden. After his wife passed away, he didn’t tend to the garden until that summer. It was great to watch such beauty come alive once more.
