Was greeted by frost on the windows this morning. Oh those fractals!

Virginia devastated by multiple tornadoes yesterday. Even growing up near the coast of NC, where hurricanes and tornadoes happened all the time, I’ve not seen destruction like some of what happened here yesterday. Praying for everyone hurt by the storms. Make art about the power of nature.

“I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy. I woke and I saw that life is all service. I served and I saw that service is joy.”~Kahlil Gibran
Just wrote an email to a famous person on behalf of a former student, not at the student’s request, but just because i believe the student’s amazing and if nothing else, I can put the kid’s name in front of someone, And yeah it’s a totally idealistic shot in the dark, but what the hey? Lifetime mantra: The worst they can do is tell me No, right? And if they do, then I’m no worse off than I was before I asked. 🙂
Survival tip #1 for me? When the moment feels darkest, do something good and loving for someone else. That’s what brings the Light ❤
Make art about healing through generosity.
Thanks and Love to that angel Clare L. Martin for helping to celebrate Trailer Park Oracle over at her beautiful journal MockingHeart Review!
Generosity and sacred hearts like Clare’s are what make our community of writers such a blessing ❤
I tell my students, “Community doesn’t just happen. We have to take care of each other.”
If you haven’t yet, please visit and support MockingHeart Review!
Spread the Love, y’all! ❤
