We both totally appreciate all the love, light, and prayers from everyone! Thank you to all of you who kept the prayers going by mentioning it on their blogs and lighting candles...I believe wholeheartedly that all of those prayers helped her to heal so quickly....she was in the hospital for only six days....and that included 3 days in Intensive Care!
So....I painted a canvas for Anjelina about the power of prayer and wrote her this note on a piece of parchment paper...rolled it up like a small scroll and placed it the back of the canvas!
Dear Anjelina,
On July 7, 2011 your life changed forever but not in the way that most would believe. You didn't allow the monsters hand hold you down...you didn't allow the fear to immobolize you....no not my daughter...you were brave and bold and soon you rose above your circumstances. You found your inner "Women Warrior" and have the battle scars to prove it. You found your courage and now my daughter it is yours for life!
With all my love...Mom
I debated whether to show you what I wrote but so many of you were here with me from the beginning and I felt that you should know.
Now here is the surprize....I made a second 6x6 canvas painting and I am going to give all of you a chance to win it! Anyone can enter...this is for all of you that wrote on my blog....prayed silently...passed the word that Anjelina needed help...this is for anyone who has ever prayed for themselves or someone they loved...this is for anyone who believes in the power of prayer! Please just leave a comment and your name will go in the hat!
Deborah, I just logged in & saw your update, I can't tell you how often I'd wondered how your beautiful 'warrior woman' was going, hoping she was healing and oh my goodness, this is brilliant news, you are correct about the power of prayer as I believe Anjelina drew on them to give her strength in recovery... just wonderful. Your words to your daughter are inspired as is this bright and sweet canvas. I would be honoured if you added my name to the draw. Take care & sending hugs to you both!

ReplyDeleteWell, my dear Deb, now you and your words to your dear Anjelina have every single one of my hairs standing on end. I am sooo happy for her and for you. There is so much that can change for the better in our lives when we believe in ourselves and in the energy of those who love us. Your Anjie is an example of that.
ReplyDeleteWhoever wins this prize (me, me, me!) will have a very powerful piece in their home. Tell Anjie I'm very proud of her Inner Warrior, and of the warrior that birthed her too.
Many hugs!
You've got some wonderfull blogfriends who supports you Deborah! I wish Anjelina all the best things in the world!
ReplyDeleteIts time to smile again!
