I believe in giving credit where credit is due. I became a writer...story teller...poet...thinker...painter...drawer...all because of some important people in my life. I think they need to know how great of an impact they have had in my life.
Betty~ I love you! I miss you more than anything. You had the most inspiration on me. My first best friend... the greatest grandmother. You were a great artist and writer... what would I be without you? No one will ever replace you or what you've given me.
Linny~ You are the greatest! Don't ever forget that. I love you, girl. You're my step-sister and such a great friend and person. Your writing has inspired me too and you deserve a lot of credit for it...
Uncle Paul~ Without you I wouldn't be the artist I am... or am aspiring to be. You keep me going and wanting to draw and paint (not watercolor thought, sorry) but hey art is art, right?
Mr. Pace~ My advanced studio teacher. You were the coolest... so laid back and always there to help out with whatever I needed in the art world... thanks, sir!
Mr. Ryan~ The best english teacher I've ever had. 10th grade creative writing... where I found myself and you installed my edge. 12th grade english and cinematic literacy... you always had insight into my writing and you made me feel good about what I wrote and not afraid to express myself.
Mom and Dad~ You've given me encouragement, stood by me, and gave me hope and insight. I certainly wouldn't be who I am without either of you. You two are the best parents and I love you so much.
Lastly, everyone I have ever met... or am going to meet. Everything gives inspiration and you may give it to me when you least expect it, hell, when I least expect it! Thank you! I love you all!
~ Often too many times you hear "I hate this.. I hate that... I hate it, hate it!" Then you get the response to make you think things over again... "Hate is an awful strong word." Well, you know what? The only word stronger than hate is... Love. No one tells you to rethink love...
~ Whatever you are to me... I'm that times two back to you.
