Interesting idea. Thanks for posting this.
I can completely see that in my own life as I look in retrospect. Am curious to see how the events that are happening now will lead me in a new direction. What is in store for me?
Love this!
The Universe tells me that my thoughts, dreams, and ideas are blossoming into what I desire. Events are happening in my life just in the right way to lead me to where I need to be.
Art Donation for An Evening Under the Stars, Peninsula Rooftop Garden, Benefit for Best Buddies
do you have a picture of the watercolor to share with us? it's so nice when you can give of your talents to benefit others. Hugs, Dawn
i imagine it meant a lot to your dad that you took the time to attend his church dance. i know the feeling of not fitting in, i had to flee Chicago years ago for that reason (even tho i grew up there). Hugs, Dawn
Hi Angel, what is the link for the event? Great give. Have fun at the event.
Great giving, especially being able to give kindness in return for meaness! Hard to do, but so much better for our spirits.

Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- Because I can, because I want to, and because it helps me to feel part of the circle by opening up to both giving and receiving. Giving allows the flow of life.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- I'd love to receive friendship and support towards the realization of my artistic and creative goals. I'd like to hear words of wisdom from those that have done what I want to do.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- from Cami and Sarajean :)
- About me:
- I am a grown woman re-learning how to live. I have an artist's soul and am learning how to be an artist in the world. I write and paint as a way of understanding the world. I believe in beauty, truth, hope, faith, love. We are here to love one another. I dream of setting up a home and I also have a concurrent dream of sailing away to travel the world. I am a Gemini with Sagittarius rising and Sagittarius moon. The twins are both simulanteously combusting. I appear together when I'm falling apart and I can appear aloof when I actually care a lot. The first rule of anarchy is gentleness. If we are gentle with each other then we don't need governing rules. I believe it is the artist's role to find the beauty and mystical truth and show it to the world.

Day 15, Sunday June 28
I went to my dad's Taiwanese church to watch him perform a dance, even though it was really uncomfortable for me as I don't speak the language and am not of the culture. Then, afterwards, at lunch I sat with a childhood friend who married an accountant and felt extremely out of place as they barely know what art is. The South Bay is a very meat and potatoes kind of place while my life has been a bit more caviar and beans. I stayed as long as was politely possible and was gracious and kind saying… Continue
