Be the Change

"Be the change that you wish to see in this world."

-Mahatma Gandhi

We all have ways that we choose to support positive change in this world of ours. My way, I've decided, is through my art. I absolutely want to be politically active but I've found that making phone calls, writing letters to the editor, showing up at a congressperson's office, etc. is not a fit for me. But selling my art as part of fundraising efforts...well...this is something that I can do, have done, and will continue to do.

So...through October 20th I will be donating 50% of my original art sales to the Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL), Texas 21 Chapter. More information may be found here. Let's make the climate great again!

Be the change...

I'm filled with gratitude today as I had the pleasure and privilege to be with two beautiful friends who experienced 9-11 in a very close and personal way. I began my day with one of of them and later shared in a celebration with the other...both spoke of that day fifteen years ago. These women each bring peace to our world by living Gandhi's words, "Be the change you wish to see in this world."

As I painted these flowers and was reminded of the magnitude of this date, these twin flowers came to represent the events of that morning and the possibilities that are left for the rest of us to guide.

We can all "Be the change..."
