About Me

THE MORE WE TAKE THE LESS WE BECOME. LOSE SIGHT OF YOUR SHORE.............to be free. Choose heart over hungar.I am a glass artist. Check out my website for art glass. I make everything from lamps to earrings. If it is glass I can make it!!! To take a break from making hot glass I paint murals, faux finishes, work as an art handler/gallery assistant, homebrew beer/wine and create pet portraits. To relax & get downtime from art altogether, I catch a good band or walk one of the many dogs at Animal Friends. www.DivaDale.comGet MySpace Layouts from nUCLEArcENTURy .COM OR create your own using MySpace profile editor !!!

He said to them, "A battle is raging inside me ... it is a terrible fight between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The old man fixed the children with a firm stare. "This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too." They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee replied: "The one you feed."
