A rainbow in my head

Eve’s update on what has been going on

I painted my dad Rick’s angel guides because my dad died from cancer last month. Each angel is helping my father get up into Heaven. They are bringing things he used to be involved in here on earth, so he knows he will still have them.
One angel has beautiful flowers. The littlest angel is holding a string with three balloons in the shape of hearts, because his three daughters will keep loving him. The pink angel has a cookie in his hand because our father used to eat cookies and milk every day when he was alive. The purple angel has a fishing pole with a fish on it. One is carrying an AA book because he used to be involved in alcoholics anonymous. One has a golf club. Can you find the ball the angel hit?

Let me know I should add any more angels with some things before I add the clouds.

These are some things about my father Rick which I am always going to be remembering. I will remember that he taught me how to fish. He called me his little pollywog even when I became an adult. When he was alive, we were over at Stars house and he was teaching me how to paint with watercolors and then when the painting was dry using a real inkwell and lightly dipping the pen into the ink and then drawing in the details onto the painting.
I am always going to keep a picture of his face inside of me for the rest of my life.

For my artwork right now I am working a painting a butterfly and a plant in a stainedglass painting. I have my first butterfly at the artwork page of this website.

Do you like it?
Should I add plants?
Do you know any good butterfly books?

I have not been doing sports this winter. But I am still a Global Messenger for Special Olympics. So far this year, I spoke at State Farm Insurance, Breck High School and Walmart. Call the Minnesota State Office at 612-333-0999 and ask if they can have me speak to your group.

I have been meditating. Here are some of the different ways to do meditation. You can try what I do. I sit on my couch with my feet on the floor and then I close my eyes and take in a deep breath and slowly breathe it out several times and then I open up my eyes slowly and say special words out loud. Sometimes, I picture myself walking through a forest along the paths that fallow streams of waters and I am taking out my watercolor pad of papers and paints to make some paintings, while I am sitting on the ground on top of a rock. I learn new meditation techniques from Alexa and other friends at our Pathways to Sprituality Group.

I still go to the YMCA with Star and I walk King for exercise.

Here are some very special things about myself. I was born in a hospital in Virginia, Minnesota on November 20, 1983. One day later, my mom and dad brought me from the hospital to live in a small house in the woods. I was the youngest of the three girls and we also had goats and chickens and two cats. I shall never forget the times my mom and I went for walks in the woods and picked the beautiful wild flowers.

When I was four, my parents were divorced. My mom and Amanda and Star and I all moved to an apartment in Roseville, Minnesota. When I was 5 years old I was very sick. My family thought I was going to die. I didn’t die. One night I woke up and said mommy mommy I thought I saw a fairy. That’s when the angels first came to me. I believe that my angels have helped my health to improve. Now I send my angels out into the world where people might need them.

I collect angel souvenirs and statues. I also collect turtles and rocks. Besides collecting I like to read. I also like to cook and bake food such as chicken noodle soup and apple crisp. I like to do crafts with my oldest sister Amanda. I like being in plays. I love to paint landscapes with sunrises and sunsets more than anything. I also love to sing and my mom thinks I have the prettiest voice ever. When I’m in a sad mood I sing until I feel happy. Mostly what makes me unhappy is when I get headaches or I get sick. Sometimes my sister Star sings with me too and I really enjoy that a lot. My sister Star is so silly that I will always have fun with her.

I get to do lots of fun things. Like, once in a while I get to go and visit my dad up in the woods. My mom and I still go on walks and we read together. I also take walks with my dog Kingston who is a King Charles Cavalier English Spaniel. I am a responsible dog owner. Sometimes I go bowling with Star or my friend Christena or with Special Olympics friends. I have a very important job, which is cleaning at my church, and am I ever the lucky one because I get to listen to the church bells and organ when I clean.

If I could have one wish in the whole world it would be that I grow up healthy and become a famous artist. Debby Newman thought we should write a book about our memories. Here it is. I hope it brings happiness to your life. Eve
