I love this card and this quote by Helen Keller. It is a shame that Texas is removing Helen from their history curriculum along with other women.

First, thank you for visiting my blog.

Next, I love this piece it reminds of the words to the song, The Climb:

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it

Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I

Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high
There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,

I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause
There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb (yeah)
There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle,

Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah yeah ea ea)

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb

Keep the faith
Keep your faith Whoa a oh oh

(Sorry, I high-jacked your comment section, but your painting moved me. Great work...keep painting!)
