MORE PEEPS...

Ha ha! Just in time for Easter... more Peeps art! (click on the title) Some are excellent, some are not... but still I had fun browsing the Peeps-ideas. Made me want to buy some Peeps and make my own art! And you know what, I just might.

So, I apologize for the time that has passed since I last wrote. I didn't want to write that I hadn't exercised or lost any weight! But I did other things...

I started an Etsy store (Peeps-free)... this was a big deal because it was a LIMFAC for me! Yep, scary. But... now I am not sure what to do with it. I have to figure out some fun things to sell, and make the photos pretty, etc. More work than I had anticipated. :) All the things I have made over the years, and now I can't remember any of them.

Also... I began my Superviva list. A friend in Canada shared this with me. Once I saw that she wanted to learn to pickpocket (not for financial gain, of course!), and spend all day in a French flea market, I was hooked on the idea of a list. Plus, I knew I had found one of those rare people that is weird in the same way I am weird. Or maybe it was that I really want to ride an elephant, and she has already done that! You should check this place out... just look up superviva.com. I think it is a great idea to write out all the things you want to do, or try, or be, or improve... my list is kind of random in some places, and I consider it a work in progress... kind of a living-list that will breathe and change and grow over time. To be honest so often I think, "Oh, I want to do that!" But then I forget about it. This will give me something concrete to look at. I can also look at other lists, and join conversations with people with similar goals, and see what they are using for inspiration, or what tools they have found helpful. If you do start a list, look me up. It's "hollycm". So far I have only written my initial list and need all the ideas I can get.

I have started our Chick-fil-A's Facebook fan page... as you can see from the little glowing reminder on the left side of the page! We will be hosting a walk for Toms Shoes' annual "One Day Without Shoes" event, April 8th. I love the idea of a business that doesn't apologize for making a profit, but also helps people out. Toms donates a pair of shoes to a child in a developing country for each pair they sell. And April the 8th is a day for everyone to go without shoes, just to remember what a simple pair of shoes can mean to someone who has never had them... fewer infections, able to attend school, able to get a job and maybe escape some of the poverty into which they were born. So we will be hosting a barefoot walk in Virginia Beach, not to raise money, just to raise awareness. And, then eating lunch, of course, at Chick-fil-A! A win-win situation, in my opinion. :) Check out the events around the country at Toms website, or read about it on our Facebook page.

And maybe you can go one day without shoes... just to be with us in spirit!
