Thank you St. Paul. That did help. Lynne

I'm so lost right now. I was in a grad program for art therapy and counseling and it seemed so right - like God wanted me there. I was the top student in my class and doing amazing in clinical. But somehow my professors told me to take a year off, and now they want me to take another 2 years...

i've been doing so very much poetry-writing lately, and now lots of painting! I thought I would have a gallery show of my work from the past 2 weeks. most of it is self-portraits but they don't relaly look like me. I put them up in the order that I painted them. Oh, and a few are colalges...
