I always thought if I had talented friends some of that would rub off, but sadly no. However, I get to watch them create and that gives me a great warm feeling inside just because I can say I know them and can call them a friend. Do you have a talented friend or family member that inspires you? Who is it and what do they do?

My friend, Jerome is performing tonight! If you happen to be down that way you should go see him! I hope it's a huge success because I designed the poster! Jerome has the easy job of just singing. Wish him luck for me! I can't imagine how my mother would have enjoyed watching him perform again! I wish she were still alive to see how he entertains so many people like he's going to do tonight for a Night Before Mother's Day Show in Florala, Alabama. It would be such a gift to give to see that show today!

I think music would be an awesome talent to have! I would love to be able to make the music I hear in my head and heart! I wish I could write, too! I try. I write everyday. Someday I will get it right! I have so many books inside me and on my harddrive. They just gotta come out!

Jessica is at an art fair selling these cute little hair barrettes and paintings she made. Girls are going crazy for them! I hope you can click through these pics, because I want you to see how talented she is! Wish her luck on making some big money today!

There's some cool videos, too! She's opening an etsy store to sell her stuff and it's very inexpensive! http://artofjessica.blogspot.com/

Just remember when you purchase art from Jessica, it's not only handmade and one of a kind, but the hard-earned money Jessica receives goes to support my active alternative lifestyle! She's so amazing! Her hands are always busy creating things. She can be watching TV with the girls and sewing, or waiting for a pot to boil while cooking in the kitchen and then run over to her easel to paint a few spots on a portrait. She's the coolest woman I've ever known!

Over the past decade or so, I've had my confidence slowly chipped away at and lowered, but I'm picking up the pieces and reassembling myself! With Jessica, Jerome and all my many cheerleading friends and angels, I'm about to be all that I ever wanted to be!
