Rise Above....Big Fat Chicken

Don't be a chicken
Don't live in fear
Face the giants! Slay the dragons! Time and time again. So what you were discarded-down hearted-offended-unfriended. Sad is not where it ended. Broken or crushed no one comes near but the fear. The fear never goes-it stays and it shows on your face. In the way you refuse to embrace the other shoe, it's for others not here in this place. Not for you. For you it might not drop. This time. What if it falls to the ground? Arterial pieces splattered as if this one mattered this dream less shattered. Sure egos tattered and spirits battered. Hopes are gathered. You will start again and the next time.again my friend you will rise above. One time for the last time be fearless. Love.

Rise Above...Peace and Love

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return. (David Bowie)

Rest in peace Melllow Yellow Hippie Pup

You are so loved.

For my favorite hippie chick, Teresa, who lost her sweet Dixie. 

Rise Above ....Number 2

After a few weeks of confusion Felix had finally sorted out the specifics of the whole house breaking process. You can see the clarity in the eyes.
"Ohhhhhh......go OUTSIIDE....to do that........hmmm. So....not here? Not here in the carpet? Ahhhhh...ha! Hmm..ok. Ummm....to be sure just....you know because I'm small and easily confused, every time? Every time I need to.....you know. I tell YOU? And then wait....and actually do IT OUTSiiiide...... Mmmmkay.....interesting....I'll definitely consider it."

Thanks for letting me draw your pets! Thanks for being a part if my project THREE times!
And uhhh....good luck Felix!

Rise Above...We Have

A person who has risen will celebrate the rising of another. Her sister and brother. She will be the mother who teaches the younger to lift up to cheer on to get behind and praise when a fellow riser goes thru a phase has some real good days and reaches a goal. Oh yes a person who has risen will know and share in the quest, the fastest way to rise above is to help others be their best.

Amy,
Thank you for cheering and celebrating my journey. Your continued support inspires me.
You are the good.

Rise Above....Until Further Notice

 like Julia said in her captain of this piece "why not"

We've been rising above this whole month. And a lotta months before now so, let's don't stop. Let's just be about this business of Rising Above...Until Further Notice.I am a fan of Poor Julia's Scrap Metal Art on Facebook (and in real life) you should go check out her work, like her page and be prepared to smile. I love her creations. The piece below is what inspired today's addition to the project. Thanks Poor Julia!

Rise Above....The Thigh Gap

IMO-the thigh gap is over rated. Wonder Woman doesn't have one. Neither does SheHulk. I read something interesting. "Try to look at it like this-no thigh gap means you are one step closer to becoming a mermaid."
None of the doctors I polled have
Ever treated a mermaid medically for depression or anxiety. I'm just putting it out there. Thigh gap/no thigh gap. Rise above that.

To Sheryl one of my absolute favorite people. You have a mermaid soul and I adore you!
Thanks for being part of my project! Tell Paul hi!
