Grab your piggy bank...

and shake it out for all it's worth!

It's TIME! You've seen the button on my blog... you've heard me 'talk' about the Pink Artist and subsequent Block Party.

Please, please - RUN, don't walk on over to Monica's blog for all the details on the amazing quilt (a collaboration between artists from all over the world) offered up, a long with all the other beautifully crafted items - any of which can be yours.

Here's the official flyer:

Go now... check it out, I don't think you'll be sorry, but I do think you'll be amazed!

You must...

Do yourself this one favor. Listen, really listen to this video, You are worth the time by Jan Phillips.

Reinforcing the fact that it's important to create. It just might be the best seven minutes you spend today.

I have embedded the video as well as linked it above in the title just in case the embedded version doesn't work.

Enjoy, you're worth it!

Leaves of Grass

This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body - Walt Whitman
