"Once we clearly acknowledge the soul, we can learn to hear it's cries. - Dallas Willard, Renovation Of The Heart."

It takes courage to pursue our dreams. It takes time and patience to unearth buried treasure. But I believe with all my heart that we must do both.

I want to thank all of you for the good and safe travels wishes. It was a great trip. I think Campbellsville University is on the top of Meg's list. She was accepted at three. We still have one to look at next week, and she will have to make a decision quickly, but at this point it looks to be Campbellsville. It is in the middle of the little quaint town of Campbellsville, KY. The campus is small, which is what Meg wanted. We were greeted with an amazing warmth from all we spoke to, and it is one of the cleanest colleges I have seen!!! :)

I also wanted to show you two paintings I am working on. The smaller one could be finished, but I feel it needs something.

The second definitely needs something, but can't think of anything yet. I could do another heart with wings variation.....I have learned to let things sit for a bit if I cannot think of anything at the moment.

Hope you all are having a good weekend.

Hi Mary, sounds like a great college for your daughter. I always love looking at your work. And I agree, sometimes when you know it needs more and then just leave it alone for a while, you see it with a fresh eye and then you know what it needs.
