To all of my mother's Renderosity friends:
It saddens me to no end to tell you that my mother, Mina, passed on May 31st, from endometrial cancer. She is survived by my father, Roger, and myself. I apologize for not letting you all know sooner, but her passing has left me with a broken heart and it is very hard to write this, even now. I don't suppose there will ever come a time that it will be easier.
I know how much she loved you all, how much it meant to her to have met such wonderful people, and how much it meant to her to create & share her art with you. I am leaving her work here for a while, as tribute to her, her beauty, her talent & her love.
Brightest Blessings to you all!
Heather
 Mina's daughter
Thanks to all for stopping by and hope you enjoy your visit.

"I get out my work and have a show for myself before I have it publicly.
I make up my own mind about how good or bad or indifferent it is.
After that the critics can write what they please.
I have already settled it for myself so flattery
and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.

hmmmmmm - some say there is always a price that must be paid when dealing in magic - perhaps the withdrawal was to keep that balance - - - LOL

4 days without an internet connection? Oh man, you should not be telling these horror stories here. You might scare us all to death. I would be totally melted down after 2 days. Excellent work. Bunny

I feel good karma from these incantations! They drift upwards with the smoke from the candle, spreading protectiveness over internet connections, inducing positive flow of chi through the cables .... Too bad you didn't do this BEFORE the connection was dropped!! (-: Wonderful image .. straight to faves, to spread that positive flow in my gallery, too!!
