"Avante in Pink" - the title of this graceful piece.
Avante means "forward moving"
and pink needs no explanation.

I named her this because it describes my life today.
But, not my life before.

I would freeze at the thought of stepping forward out of my box.
And the last thing I felt was pink, ladylike, graceful...
let alone in a way that comes from someone who knows who they are, and steps forward into their beauty & calling.

However, I also knew I wasn't living the life to which I had been called.
Self-doubt is not what my Creator envisioned for me.

So, I asked Him to show me what He saw when He looked at me.

If He liked what He had made,
perhaps I could learn to as well.

And, it turns out He not only likes me...
He is captivated by me & excited about the plans He has for me.

He feels this way about you too, my friend.

Please learn to move forward...
And if you so choose, in pink.

You are a masterpiece.
