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.

It is a long lost personal touch that needs to be revisited. We live in a world of Tweets, IMs & text messages - Time to Get Back to Basics! I wanted to touch upon your recent thoughts on "Perfection". I, too, find myself procrastinating over starting new projects. The fear I will not be able to finish what I start. My second thought is failing myself for not going the distance. I was amazed with a few quick chats and we were out of the gate running with this new column - and new additions to our blogs, "Letters Across the Miles".

Funny, how you also mentioned how our grade school teachers would ask us to "Show Them Our Work" when it came to Math problems ...and weaving this theme into real life. Can yo...
