Hearts for Charity ...


When I went food shopping this past weekend, they were selling cards - ARTWORK FOR EDUCATION - Castle Heights Elementary School (Los Angeles, CA) students are raising funds for programs and equipment for their school.

 I had many different cards to choose from. This is just one that I purchased. Of course, I wanted the heart decorated card, created by Irene - Age 9. As all of you who follow my blog know - I love anything "Heart" related these days ...

These are the times I feel like I am "Giving Back" - Small gestures to help out - Wish I could do more - Perhaps, Someday I will be able to ...

When was the last time you came across something like this?

    What a beautiful card. And made by a 9 year old child! Amazing! It feels great to be able to help. I sold three pieces so far (wish there were more sold), and it's good to know that the money went to someone in need. xo!

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move.

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
