Believe

December 11, 2012 By Gloria B. Collins

Believing in the spirit of Christmas is about finding those little moments in time that inspire us as we continue our journey through life. A good example is when I came back from a very exciting flower installation. I felt on top of the world.

I remember vividly the dining room table I sat at, and out of the blue, he came up to me with his loving voice and asked me to illustrate two intertwined trees, depicting the deep and ageless love a couple has for each other, a pretty deep ask for a ten-year-old. But I followed the brief and delivered. 

What he thought of the drawing must have been positive because I’m still draw. I didn’t get any negative comments.
