I discovered a friend’s old album collection. The music is beautiful and so is the cover art. Two of the graphic artists who stand out most for me are Michael Rugg and Roger Huyssen (http://www.huyssen.com/). One of the most fascinating facts I discovered about artist Rugg is that he is the founder of the Bigfoot Discovery Project! http://bigfootdiscoveryproject.com/origin.php

A day that could easily have been described as “a glass half-empty” suddenly felt “half-full” as I opened my mail to discover the 2009 issue of the Rockhurst Review containing one of my photos, Dandelion. The picture is simply that of a dandelion its golden flower gone to white tufted seed. The seeds are blown away leaving a half-moon of whiteness with a circle of dark brown seeds in the center. I remember taking that picture last summer, I think, in a strawberry field. The strawberries were the focus of my camera that day, but it was the happenstance shot of a dandelion that brought me joy today. Go figure. 😉
p.s. For the story of the strawberries, go here: http://www.creativity-portal.com/articles/cynthia-staples/strawberry-pictures.html

It was a delight to chance upon the website of Damaris Pierce, an artist based in Asheville, North Carolina. In 2007, she launched a project that encourages people to show their thanks, literally, on a postcard. Postcards are mailed to Ms. Pierce who then posts them on the website: http://www.iamthankful.com/postcards
I was drawn in by the idea of postcards (I’m a paper fanatic) but the site has many wonderful exercises like an online Gratitude Journal, free e-cards and other resources. Check it out. My goal is to create and mail at least one postcard!
