The word Renewal is extremely appropriate for this year. Not only because the year itself is new, but because it stands for a renewal of faith, hope, dreams, and aspirations. The eagle is a spirited bird, symbolizing strength and courage. The courage to continue in spite of facing hard trials takes a special kind of renewal that can only be achieved through relationship with God. The dancer represents hope and movement toward our individual destinies. So be encouraged, my friends, and let 2010 represent a RENEWAL of your dreams, goals, and a realization of your God-given talents.
Lovely piece! Your dancer is so graceful, I really like the pose you have chosen, that eagle is gorgeous too! Perfect for this weeks theme! Happy New Year!!! :0)
