Although it broke my heart, I chose music and dance. You see, those areas received much more attention, and as an insecure young teenager that was one thing I strongly desired! However, deep...

Thanks Jay! I talk to God about it everyday and I keep hearing "wait..." Headed back to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN for the 4th time this year at the end of October. And painting this piece helped me get rid of some of that "pain." Many Blessings, Laura
