more color...

this is yesterday's sunrise,
full of color...
pinks and blues and yellows
after a stormy day of whites and grays.
and then came more color...
more beautiful blue!
and inside...
more beautiful blue
and yellow, gray, and brown!
~~~
this incredible felted rock,
created by patricia longoria,
was made for haiti by hand.
~~~
making this purchase
helps the people of haiti.
~~~
it feels good to help.
~~~
i love to help,
i want to help
and i need to help.
~~~
so, i get to help and
i get this rock (i loooove rocks!)
it really doesn't get any better than this...

the beautifully crafted handmade thank you card
that accompanied my winter rock
tells the story of this wonderful felted creation.
~~~
snowglobe stone
~~~
the blue cloak of a winter night descends.
snow crystals drift down upon it
like the feathers of an ice bird.
a tree's bare branches catch
the silver moon and a golden star.
~~~
patricia signed the card by thanking me
for helping haiti by hand
and reminding me to
"enjoy winter's magic. "
~~~
i will enjoy winter's magic
and the magic that comes from helping...

and there's even more color...
~~~
red, pink, and white!
gotta "love" that!
check it out on my etsy...

make it a great day!

help for haiti

haiti...
~~~~~
the poorest country in the western hemisphere...
abject poverty that we can't begin to imagine.
~~~
and then came the earthquake!
~~~
the devastation...
the loss of life...
all of it...
~~~
so incredibly heartbreaking...
~~~
and yet the people sing!
and yet people are still being found alive!
~~~
what does that say about the people of haiti?
it says everything!
~~~
i am sooo impressed with these people,
the struggle they've been thru
and the struggle that lies ahead of them.
~~~
i want to help them.
i have to help them!
i will help them!
~~~
we all have to help them!
there are lots and lots of ways for all of us to help,
each in our own little way.
~~~
we can start by praying ...
~~~
praying for the people of haiti,
and praying for those
who are giving aide to the people of haiti.
~~~
and then we can give...
~~~
we can give help for haiti...
~~~
make it a great day!
