“Forever Changed”, by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

Forever Changed

Sometimes people come into our lives unexpectedly. They end up doing life with us, the good and the bad. They see us through the most trying times and the offer us unwavering friendship and love.

This piece is sold, but commissions are welcomed. Feel free to contact me via email at saltlightwatercolors@yahoo.com. You can also follow me on Facebook and Instagram.

She Decided to be Brave

She Decided to be Brave I haven't written in a while...sometimes I feel like I need to have something profound to say. So all of these thoughts came to me after having a lunch date with some friends. One of the friends I had lunch with is one of my dearest friends ever - you know the kind - she knows all your secrets and she still likes you! We've been friends for around 13 years now. The other two friends have been acquaintances for a number of years, but we are just now getting to know each other and beginning to get comfortable. At one point in the conversation, I could consciously feel myself beginning to get "guarded". There wasn't a specific reason for this, I'm not sure why this feeling came upon me. I was trying to be careful so I didn't say the wrong thing, trying to think of something funny to say, or something really clever to interject into the conversation.
