1. I AM SO DAMNED SICK & TIRED OF * MAKING ME CRY!!!

This woman, from a red state no less, is feeling the pain of liberals everywhere at what this administration is doing to our countrymen/women. She's doing a great service to the families who have lost a loved one for this animal called our pResident.

Thank you for that, babylonsister.

2. I am, too, and that's just what I did when I saw this. The artist

has more compassion in her pinky finger than everyone combined in this admin.

Does anyone know the name of the artist, I didn't catch it but it sounded like Kazaia. Love to send her a note of appreciation.

Nevermind, I found it. http://www.kaziahthegoatwoman.com/

edited again to add another link, to project compassion, check out the letters from the families : http://www.heropaintings.com/FTFamilies.html

13. Thanks for posting that link

I read some of the links: this woman has a fascinating life story. Some would have turned cynical and embittered by what she's endured, but instead she uses her gifts to help others. She also has the marvelous ability to see and capture the beauty in faces that are not conventionally attractive (service workers, street people, etc.)

I loved this painting of hers, titled "Just Be Yourself", but even if I weren't broke, it's already sold.

Kindness and compassion are simple, natural, inherent human traits.

Those traits have been destroyed in so many Reeps it's unreal.

As an aspiring artist, I know how much work goes into a painting. Their work deserves the thanks (and blessings, if you do that) of all here.
