Ms. Cartwright
I am an art teacher, mother of two awesome sons, and full-time dreamer and creator. I like to read, draw, create, art journal, write, flower garden, drink coffee, and be inspired by beautiful things. I like cats, mountains, autumn, trees, chocolate, and many more things. I am a follower of the Way, Jesus. I love the truth, and honor, and imagination. I like silver. Roses.
I am a graduate of Shelbyville Central High School (Go Eagles!), have a Bachelor of Art in English and Art from Middle Tennessee State University. I have taught for fifteen years in many capacities, and plan to teach many more.
I do not have time to make much art right now, so much of the work I’ve posted isn’t very recent, to say the least.

This is amazing.
Yes, I cried at one point; I thought about 2nd grade on the swing set and a boy named Chris who called me a name. It dredged up some old pain. “To this day..” is right. I have some things that to this day I deal with. I think we all do.
Even though I would like to go back sometimes, this video is why I never would. It does get better. As an adult, I can be as different, as wierd, as ME, as I want to without worrying about being called names or talked about. And if they talk, well, let them ;).
It is so clear. We are ALL valuable, imperfect, worthy, capable of being beautiful. The ones hurting others the worst, you know what? They’re the ones hurting the worst. It’s a vicious cycle, but it helps to know that.
My own healing came only from God. When I understood that HE loved me, considered me valuable..when our relationship clicked those old wounds began healing.
Thank you so much for sharing! I’m going to post this…too good not to. I think everyone should see this.
🙂

May 23, 2013 at 3:47 pmKacie, I thank you so so much for your kind words :)…I think people forget that teachers need to hear them too! I hope you have a wonderful summer, and I count on seeing you next year. Just remember, you have a lot of potential — God made you exactly the way He wanted to for a reason, a great reason. I can’t wait to find out! See ya later! 😀
