Hello, pleased to meet everyone! On the right above is my beautiful daughter, a lovely young lady, and whom I am so very proud of for many reasons. Yes, I'm proud because she is my daughter, but I'm proud of the person she has become. Of all I've done in my life and with my life, being her mother has been the most rewarding and I wouldn't trade her or being her mom for anything in this world. I have tried to teach her much, but she has taught her mother so much more along the way. If there seems to be horses popping up around here frequently, it is likely due to the fact my daughter and I both share a very strong love for them.

My name is *Artsie_ladie* or Artsieladie online and in many places, but my real name, however, is Sharon Donnelly. I am a natural born "artist" and I've worked in many mediums of traditional and of course in the digital medium. Besides being an artist, I'm a writer of stories, poetry, and quotes. I am a musician and photographer, as well as a "Photo Editor". Also, I am an activist against the wrongs in the world, including but not limited to animal abuse and neglect.
-
Virtually any form of creativity is the core of who I am with a relentless and limitless amount of passion thrown in. I don't do anything I elect to get involved with halfway. It's all or nothing and anything worth doing is worth doing it right or not at all. But rather than write extensively here, anyone who cares to read more about me, they can at "About Artsieladie".

A little mention about the author of the original photo and owner of the gorgeous German Shepherd, Buddie, Rich Patt.
-
Yours truly has been friends with him for awhile now, years. Rich is a person of integrity, values, and doing what is right. If he sells and pro-
motes a product and/or service, it's because he believes in what it does, stands for, and so forth, and I stand behind and support Rich.
-
Since Rich sells and promotes "Nerium", a great and revolutionary skin care product, it IS a great product. I haven't used the product as of
yet, but I know friends of mine who do, and my friends who do, swear by it as well. I just need to get on the stick, stop procrastinating, and
try it too, myself.

#Love "Paint With Love" #Love
-

Your world Paint With Love

Using every colour and hue

And your canvas of life

Will make a happy you.

Dip your brush in kindness

And spread it generously.

Paint with compassion

And forgiveness vividly.

Apply consideration

When going for unique.

This will add pizzazz

To your own technique.

Use plenty of understanding,

Remember as you paint,

Perfection isn't expected

For no one is a saint.

Flaws add character

And allow humility

To be on your canvas

Where ego shouldn't be.

When you Paint With Love,

Mix your colours well.

Paint with your heart and soul,

But your canvas never sell.

Only share your colours,

The paints that you use,

The more you share with others

The more colour you'll infuse.

The canvas of your life

Should be brilliant and bright

And when you Paint With Love,

It will radiate with Light.

With giving, add with joy,

With caring don't be shy,

And when you Paint With Love

Don't ever let It dry!

~ Artsieladie / Sharon Donnelly / Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly

#Love "Lenses Of Love" #Love

When we see with our eyes, we can only see,

What our own thoughts allow for our vision to be.

When we see with our hearts, we remove the door,

Barricading our view from seeing much more.

When we see with our hearts, we see others' as well

And so know they have feelings that within them dwell,

Reminding ourselves we should treat, handle with care

The hearts of the souls where within are tender and fair.

We must be respectful of theirs as we'd like them to do

With our own hearts that have feelings, tenderness too.

When we see with our hearts, we broaden our view,

Because the Lenses Of Love we then see through.

The Lenses Of Love have no frames to wear over our eyes

For there is no frame possible to contain an infinite size.

But the Lenses Of Love reveal with colour so bright

A luminous spectrum so breathless, a Magical Light.

The Lenses Of Love bring into view

The Elements of Love, each brilliant hue

Of Compassion and Kindness, Empathy and Caring,

Understanding, Forgiveness, Giving and Sharing.

These colourful hues so warming invite

More pleasant reception to then incite

The desires in hearts, differences resolve,

Begin building Trust and egos dissolve.

The Lenses Of Love beckon to in hearts reflect

Strobes to entice too intense to reject.

Thus a desire within is rooted and sown

To remodel a heart where only Love's grown.

When we see with our eyes, we have limited sight,

But when we see with our hearts, we let in the Light

Through Lenses Of Love, we have colourful vision,

For the Elements of Love, we make provision.

~ Artsieladie / Sharon Donnelly / Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly

#God "Gifted By God" #God

I am just a nobody with no fortune and no fame,

But rich in ways many others wouldn't ever think to claim.

Among His many blessings, I'm blessed with a Gift to create,

To share with and touch others, to uplift and educate.

But to be creative, to feel others' woes, address,

God gave me a life of lessons so I could share, express.

He knew I'd need material so I could carry out

My purpose He designed without a shred of doubt.

So, with my poetry, unique and a style all its own,

I write from within, a place no one can ever clone.

To acquire understanding in a way that's surreal,

One must live and experience to know how others feel.

Starting with my childhood, learning the cruelties of life

And throughout adulthood, enduring much pain and strife,

I've gained a wealth of knowledge about wrong and right,

Bringing forth perspicacity in rhyme as I write.

If with my poetry, one's expecting more in line with norm,

One might be disappointed with its content and its form,

For I do not write what and how others think I should,

But mostly to convey a message, hoping that it's good.

I only write in rhyme to give my words a flow;

Free verse seems lacking of, my opinion, though.

I like the added challenge throughout my writing time

Of writing words with meaning AND portrayed with rhyme.

My writing is direct, though not always pleasant, nice;

Some may think too lengthy, therefore not concise.

But truth and honesty can sometimes be harsh and severe

And the delivery of, must be covered and as well, made clear.

Meeting challenges in life has played a main, central part,

Leaving many battle scars upon my, at times, weary heart.

But through it all I've learned, we become better though,

From overcoming challenges which we learn from and grow.

When I say I am blessed in ways others wouldn't claim,

It's because among my blessings, the atrocities I name.

Living through atrocities forges a greater understanding,

More inclined to be forgiving, less critical, reprimanding.

Many reasons I have had too numerous to be counted

To remain bitter and resentful, not overcome, surmounted;

To justify holding onto grudges and be unforgiving,

But a heart so heavy burdened can't rejoice in living.

I've had many chances in life to provide me with excuses

To accept in my heart hatred because of multiple abuses,

But from a young age I've been determined to rise above

By cultivating instead the opposite, the Elements of Love.

Oftentimes, when with our life, we're dissatisfied,

We give in and accept that our misery's justified.

But just one adjustment, a change to/in our objective,

Can make all the difference when we alter our perspective.

When we understand why there are struggles in our life,

All with silver linings in spite of stress and strife,

We afford ourselves the ability to negate the negative,

Transform it into positive to be wiser how we live.

Not only wiser but more humble with our ego more subdued

To be more considerate of others, instead of callous, rude.

We're all a work in progress with each our own path to carve;

Who we are, become, depends upon what traits we feed or starve.

We all make mistakes and they're our best learning tools.

Those who acknowledge this become the wiser versus fools.

We all have attributes to help make the world a better place,

But if we do not bring them forth, we, ourselves, disgrace.

I am creative too as an artist with paint, pencil, brush,

But this creative field brings a different type of rush.

There is beauty all around us God has so richly painted,

That even the world's ugliness can't ruin, make tainted.

Since with animals and nature I've always felt at peace,

Accepted in His world of wonder, God's Masterpiece,

Through my art I try to capture the beauty I still see,

Hoping to remind others of the wonders God made to be.

Being blessed by God with the Gift of Creativity,

My gratitude's immense; I cherish most reverently.

Being given such a Gift by the Master of Creation,

All praise goes to Him with my absolute adoration.

~ Some Noting By Artsieladie ~

-Additional thoughts/comments from yours truly.-

- About site content, safety, privacy and right to, and sharing knowledge/information, etc.. -

-
I will strive on my sites to keep the content to be acceptable viewing for all ages. I do not believe that young children need to be or should be exposed to everything. Content or material that is unsuitable for young children, doesn't necessarily have to be bad, per se, but simply not suitable for them at a young age. As one example, artistic nudity is just as beautiful a form of art as another, but a youngster needs not to 'have' to see it.
-
However, even though my aim is to keep my sites with this in mind, parents and guardians must always remember that links lead to more links, and so, links that are harmless can and often do lead to links that contain material that is questionable. Therefore, I always highly recommend that children are on the Internet always with a responsible adult's supervision not only to guide children, but to be there to explain and give 'honest and complete' answers to their questions should they stumble upon content that perhaps they aren't mature enough to have seen. I say honest and complete, because sugar coating what they may see or even vague, evasive explanations will not satisfy the 'natural curiosity' of a child. If a child doesn't receive complete and honest answers from people they trust and they look up to to provide them, they will seek them from others and the 'others' may not have the 'best' interests of the child in mind.
-
Please also bear in mind, the Internet is a wonderful world for children to explore and benefit from, as well as adults, but as with most everything, there are good, bad, and in between places and content. Teach your children to be safe online and to take precautions, and combine this with responsible, adult supervision, and they will be able to benefit from it immensely and have fun doing so. I plan to add some useful and helpful information along these lines in the future.
-
Although I believe in sharing knowledge or information about almost any topic, personal and private information of ourselves that each of us has the right to decide whether to disclose or not is an exception. Everyone has the right to privacy and someone who invades this without the consent of that person, exhibits the lack of morals and respect, and openly displays their ignorance of the sanctity of human rights and a person's right to privacy.
-
As far as other information in regards to learning to broaden our knowledge base, I believe in sharing, passing along to others, so that all may benefit by doing so. This is why I plan on adding whatever helpful information and links to, as I can. Anyone interested in helping me add to this endeavor, please feel free to relay this to me and I will be glad to also give the credit to the contributor.
-
I try to respect everyone's cultures, customs, beliefs, etc. as I would want my own to be. We are all human and in this respect we are ONE, but it's the diversity among us that gives life flavour for if we were all the same, just think how monotonous life would be.
-
