I have to give my counselor, Anita Warren, credit for inspiring me to paint. I had not painted anything since 2004. I am doing a counseling course called “New Beginnings,” which is part of the Integrity Program. Anita helped me set some goals for myself. I had a burning desire to paint but nothing would come out. The first time I picked up a brush I destroyed several sheets of watercolor paper and gave up for that day (Sunday). Then on Monday, I got up with a new determination to begin another painting. It happened and I don’t want to stop. I am looking forward to painting many more pictures, thanks to my dear friend and counselor, Anita Warren. JF
