Flowers Eclipsed In Shadow
Reaching For The Light
Every speck of light we’re granted
Cannot begin to measure life
Love, like precious seeds are planted
In every garden, mixed with strife
Purposed by a higher power
Sculpted images of flesh
Empowered wildflowers, a thing of beauty, nonetheless

The colors she painted with
Eliana's journey began one quiet, snowy evening when she stumbled upon an online community of makeup enthusiasts. This digital haven was a treasure trove of inspiration, where artists from around the world shared their creations, tips, and stories. The camaraderie and creativity she found there sparked a flame of passion in Eliana's heart. She decided to embark on a quest to capture the essence of winter through her makeup artistry, to create looks that mirrored the season's ethereal beauty.

The Abominable No-Meatman
So, I had an idea. I was wondering if Pennywise the dancing clown went vegan because he wanted to befriend humanity, what would he eat? Would there be food options for him, or would he have to starve just to be put in a better light with us humans. So I’ve created a special restaurant and menu just for him. This way, if Pennywise were to become vegan, he wouldn’t have to get creative with his dietary choices, I’ve done it for him. I’ve taken the work out of going vegan on his behalf! Here is a special restaurant and menu I made just for our friend, Pennywise!

I like the flow and rhyme of this one Kelli, and "In every garden, mixed with strife" is a wonderful line! It acknowledges that not everything grows that is planted, which is a heavy thought, but worth pondering!
All we have to do is listen to our hearts.
Wherever two or three are gathered, there will be an argument. But there is also the enduring possibility of love, grace & care.
Another poetic, beautiful message. 
This is so beautiful 🌸🌼
Pure gold. Love this one very much ❤️
