what an incredible night of, and i can't believe i am going to say this, TELEVISION!last night's "hope for Haiti" program was fantastic. way to go george clooney!
a wonderful assortment of talented singers and amazing choice of heartfelt, heart wrenching songs!
No commercials!
and all for a very good cause...
perhaps we have learned from our mistakes after Katrina devoured my beloved new orleans and all HOPE seemed to be lost.
as our world continues to become smaller and smaller.
we can not deny we are all one.
in this together.
and we must have HOPE.
like the little daffodils emerging in my garden through all sorts of obstacles,
we reach.
we struggle.
we support.
we HOPE.
and i am hopeful.
and as conan o'brien said his last goodbye, i was so impressed with his positive, graceful words...
"please don't be cynical."
"if you work really hard and you are
KIND,
amazing things will happen."
and for your viewing pleasure, i present my latest painting..."breaking free"
like the little birdie,
like the little birdie,i am thinking outside the box.
and
HOPEFUL.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR PAINTINGS!!!
