WVAG Member news
"Winter's Glory"
© Sharon Feathers
WVAG member, Sharon Feathers' watercolor painting, "Winter's Glory," has been selected for the Courage Cards 2013 Holiday Collection. The inspiration for Sharon's painting came from this poem:
"Perhaps they are not stars,
but rather openings in Heaven
where the love of our lost ones
pours through and shines down
upon us to let us know they are happy."
Eskimo Legend
Sharon's card can be viewed online at www.couragecards.org
Go to www.couragecards.org and click on the online catalog. There is a young man holding her card. His name is Jack, and he is in a wheel chair. His story is online. What an inspiration to see him holding Sharon's card. Congratulations, Sharon!
This is a opportunity for you to be a Courage Card Artist. Go to "our artists"on the site for the information.

FaceBook Switch
I've decided to make the switch over to FaceBook for our day to day communications, updates, news, etc.
It's just so easy to do, and everyone has access to FaceBook via apps, or bookmarked on thier computer, or geberally has some connsection to it.
"Friending" on FaceBook is easier than "following" a blog. Its just generally accepted worldwide nw as the leading way to remain connected with an organization like ours.
Please visit us at

Hope to see you there!!
