I am just so glad you have been painting @Faith-and-Hope I do wish I could see it  I feel like part of me is in it with all the little 'touches of Zoe' you have told me you have used. It's a lovely feeling to know I am thought of, especially at the moment when I am feeling so low and defeated.

I truly feel for you when you are 'fighting' your own battles and I do wish I could help you through it more. There is nothing as painful as a heart that is breaking - I hope that yours can remain strong and start to repair soon. I fear that mine is irrepairable now and it has nearly stopped. 

Goodluck with your competition - I know I will never know how you go but I am sure you will have produced something that you should be very proud of.

Keep being you - no matter what each day brings - because the you that I know is the most wonderful, amazing and compassionate person I have ever met.

Sending you my love and admiration always...

Zoe
