The Bella Sinclair award was created by CES in honor of her sister Bella Sinclair, an exceptional woman and brilliant artist who epitomizes the concept of the artist as inspiration, of sisterhood, caring and sharing. It is symbolized by the Valley Oak Tree a handsome and graceful tree with a sturdy trunk.It was designed for those whose friendships and influence inspire us to be our best. So today I want to pass this lovely award onto a few people in my life who I feel deserve this award
I received this award from my dear friend Krystal--whom I admire and love. I will pass the award onto a few of the people in my life who I feel deserve the award, and I only ask that they pass it along to a few people who inspire them as well! That's sisterhood right?!
To Sara Fultz (twin sis)--You have been tossed into the deep and stood your ground with faith and hope trusting on the Lord. I admire your sturdy trunk and only hope that I can one day be just as sturdy as you have been. Amidst your heartache, you have tended to my sorrow first and foremost, above your own. Who does that? Sara--who loves and cares for others more than herself.
To Cindy Rae (me...twenty years from now!)--I don't know how you have done it, but you spent many nights in my company into the wee hours of the morning discussing the the events of life--the things we did understand and all those things that left us speechless. The catch is that you do this for so many, and then you rise--bright and early--the next morning with a smile and a determination to guide someone else for the better. To me, you are the handsome grace of the oak tree, yet sturdy all the while!
To Michelle Otero (Mom)--Your weathered hands have reached into the ground time and time again nurturing other trees along the way. My Gardener--I admire your strength. As a mother I am learning of the sacrifice and sorrow that I once saw you go through. It is a hard road to walk, as you give of yourself day after day. Thank you for showing me that a strong tree can be grown one day at a time.

Crystal! I so did not see something like that coming to ME! I can't believe I got a reward! Perhaps, just perhaps I am good for something, while my smarts and education seem to mean so little to so many . . . I guess maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction to see where I matter. Thank you so much for acknowledging me, as undeserving as I feel. The only problem is, I would have to give that reward right back to you . . . sigh.
See what I mean you write it so well. You share you life, love, pain, and happiness in such a beautiful way. We can't help but feel so blessed to know,love, care, and pray for you and your sweet family. You are truly amazing in so many ways. Thats why I passed it on to you. I look up to you and your example. Thanks for letting me in on your beautiful Fairytale! I am truly a better person because of you.
What a great idea! You are such a thoughtful person!
