I have revamped my bloggy...it was much easier than I thought it would be.~ I've been wanting to return to blogging for some-time now, but~ as we all know, time & effort don't always line up.~<br />
~I almost deleted this "old bloggy" & had thoughts of starting a brand new one.~ But, I couldn't do it, I looked back & remembered so many years ago, struggling to get this one up & running...I knew very little about computers then, I'm still no wiz.~ There was lots of questions to my son Gabriel~ "Help Me !"~ "I don't get it !"~ But, I did it, way back then. ~ Now, I'm back.~<br />
I have redesigned my banner~ by myself ~ to reflect what I have been up to lately.<br />
~I have illustrated my first book !~ Written by a lovely lady, Joy Williams.~<br />
~This has taken more than a year & it is very close to being published !~ It is going to be self-published threw Createspace. The launch date is coming very soon.~<br />
I am also illustrating two more children's books ~ there will be more about them in the near future.~<br />
But, back to "If I Think It, It Must Be True"~ written by Joy Williams & illustrated by Amy Gethins Sullivan.~ all I can say is, even now when I read it, I get a little teary~ it reads like a poem~ it is uplifting, it is an awesome reminder to children & adults as well~ that you know yourself better than anyone.~<br />

We worked together for about a year in the "after school day-care, at Our Lady of Lourdes School".~It was a perfect part-time job for me at the time.~We were took care of the pre-K & kindergartners. She was Ms. Aaloke & I was Ms. Amy, to the little peoples.~<br />~So, I call her Ms. Aaloka, Aaloka, means "lustrous".~ And, Ms. Aaloka really is, she lights up when you see her.~She is more than likely in her mid, maybe late 60's, but it is hard to tell, by the way she looks & acts.~Her manner is kind,loving & very happy.~The two of us, just loved each other & would talk & talk.~<br />~Anyway, our job was to love & care for those "little, tiny bits" when they were done with school.~From 3 till 5:30.~<br />~At the end of the school year, Ms. Aaloka started bringing these flowers in, from her garden~ some for Ms. Kathy ~who was our wonderful "boss-lady"& some for me.~What a gift !~She told me, "put them on your table & when you wake up in the morning your house is going to smell so wonderful!"~I fell in love!~Amazing smell!~<br />~I had to quit working there this past Dec., I was painting a lot of sets~& that was a good thing, but, bad, because I had to leave the after care program & my sweet friends & "little stinkers".<br />~So, this Spring~who do you think I got a call from?~ Ms. Aaloka~Funny because, I answered the phone:"hello"~ the very sweet Indian voice on the end said,: "Amy!~Who do you think this is?"~in my mind I was (smiling) & saying, "ummm this is hard, lol!"~ Out loud, I said: "Ms. Aaloka!"~(she doesn't use the phone very often, I know this, because, she told me so. :)<br />~Her answer was the sweetest :"YES!"~ you ever herd.~<br />~We talked a little, then she said:" Remember I told you, I would give those flowers?"~<br />~me~"Yes"~ Her: "I have some for you!"~<br />You have to know how happy she sounded, my heart felt so happy too.~<br />We planted them in the front yard, near our porch.~<br />~So, I now have my own Tube Roses~ & they are blooming right now.~ I'm not sure, but, I guess they bloom all summer.~Because, Ms. Aaloka's bloomed in the Spring.~We had no blosomes when we planted them & I didn't think they would bloom till next year.~<br />~I was just sitting outside & their beautiful smell was just now, relaxing me & making me feel so happy.~<br />~Thank You Ms. Aaloka~<3~<br />~amy~Amy Gethins Sullivanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02150610553713229995noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693433984245602253.post-77301863355090170172010-07-21T18:01:00.000-07:002010-07-21T18:20:09.197-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFAhp8gUYun3fl2TtTlUrbtIHNlsy-k3OyO_uMniKACzaoi4HNqIRWguyEinHya84D0O6jELZ_RIbIO25BVMrNykotD-micGT5NrFL7Vve6qHOt4lNwtVU4U5G9Vq4aXwONnrZ5-sVdD4/s1600/beach+022.jpg"><img style="display: block;
