When life gets tough, it's not easy to see it as a gift. When we are hurt or bad things happen, life seems to be anything but a gift.

This is a world where we come to learn, to grow, and to understand. The only way to do these things is by living through good times and bad, in pressure and happiness. Learning from rough things is what we need to do. And eventually moving past them is what we need to do, but only after we've addressed the issues presented to us.

Life is a test and a testament. A test of whether or not we can get through hardship and a testament as to what we've conquered.

Through pain and turmoil, we learn about meaning in even the littlest things. Life is a gift: of growth, learning, seeking, finding, and understanding.

Here is my newest piece of art. It is made with colored pencils on paper and is entitled Eternity:

This piece is available on Fine Art America and Red Bubble (minus my name printed on it--that was done only for security reasons). I wanted to create a piece of art that speaks about all humans as being part of the circle of life. Nature, humanity and creation are all one big, beautiful piece of art. One revolving system of love and light. Here is my description as seen on Red Bubble and Fine Art America:

Eternity is around us and in us. Each of us makes up a piece of eternity and combined we are eternity alive. We are all filled with the same spirit and life essence plus we are gifted our own unique talents and abilities to share to make the world a better place. When we realize this truth, we will be living in heaven on earth.

This piece can be purchased in many different items including stationery, gift items, home decor and more. I've included the links below in case you may find yourself interested in taking a peek!
