It’s nice to know it’s “not just me”. I’ve been feeling like the world was turning upside down or something!

If anyone deserves to go through life encountering only joy & friendship, it's you, but sadly I suppose we need the odd 'big bad wolf' in order to appreciate fully what we have! I hope it all worked out for you in the end. I enjoy reading your perspective on things, the way you write. It definately comes across in your artwork too. And speaking of artwork... Red riding hood is just beautiful! I love all the swirly details in the plants & the trees! Lisa, I’m so sorry you had to encounter people like that!

And I'm glad that, although your faith may have been shaken, you were able to continue moving down your path. I, like you, choose to continue to have faith in humanity, in spite of pitfalls and challenges that I meet along the way. We optimists must stick together! What a wonderful post, Lisa!
