All things "right brain."
Someone more intelligent than me, funnier than me, kinder than me, more organized than me, more practical than me, more patient than me, and more hopeful than me. Won't be too hard. Or will it?

All artists out there who have the courage to leap and build their wings on the way down; who have touched and inspired me - past, present and in the future.
