     my horoscope today:

"You don't want to take any unnecessary risks with your health, safety or money. Take a conservative course."

      Figures.  How come i never get the exciting stuff?  Like "Your ship is coming in ... it's full of money.  Relax!  Enjoy!"  

      So on the art site i visit they've started a tsunami relief help project, where artists submit their work to a common charity site, and if the piece sells the money goes as a donation to the artist's charity of choice.  i've been watching the activity since it started, and something about it just "spoke" to me.  Not sure why.  It just seemed right and good that i at least try, and so i joined in.

      i've now got my small "sneakers" painting on display and they even put "artist" beside my name!  It's kind of overwhelming - it's making me "real", if that makes any sense at all, and i'm still in the "i'm just a 'hobbyist'" mindset.

      And now i'm just worried that it won't sell and accomplish what i want it to, which is help the victims.  Heh.  Talk about conflicting emotions.  But as my car-pool buddy pointed out, the people who need the help, don't need my old baggage, they just need the help.  

       Hmm.  Now that i think about it, i think she was hinting at the "get over it" phrase.  Hah.  And now i'm sitting here chuckling at that thought. 

Check out the side bar image - 

it's a nifty little site that was sent out on one of the 

mailing lists i'm on.  :-)

PSS:  And thank you to He who knows who He is for being the best website host and helping me help others.  *hug*
