Inspired by the words of a kindred spirit & friend of mine, Joanie: 
"The more I learn and grow, the more I want to learn and grow but then there are horrible things going on in this world that terrify and overwhelm me. Especially when I think about my kids and their future. I have to be conscious of balancing those horrendous truths in life with the immense joy and beauty that is in abundance around me, around all of us. TRUTH, COURAGE, PEACE and LOVE is what my kids teach me every day and this is what will win this is what will conquer my fears. Think about it, on an exponential level this is what will triumph over the bad in this world~"

Love is always PATIENT and KIND; it is never jealous; love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offence' and it is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.

 LOVE DOES NOT COME TO AN END.

The Dance of Intimacy, 2010

SOLD

being who we are in a relationship
and  allow the other person to do the same …
… neither intimacy nor self can flourish in an
atmosphere  of secrecy and silence …
… An intimate relationship neither party silence,
sacrifices or betrays the self …

Each party expresses
 STRENGTH and VULNERABILITY,
WEAKNESS and COMPETENCE
In a BALANCED way

When we cannot express both sides
with some balance,
then we are not operating with a
whole authentic self.

Harriet Lerner

The Dance of Intimacy

The designs of Villahermosa's 2008 series of acrylic paintings on canvas are,

The painfully sharp edged lines, the soft flowing compositions are in fact, letters of English words which express the impediments of life as well as the beautiful catalysts of her life.
