Hello beautiful people,

If you have ever been moved by my work, a poem, a song, a hug, a conversation could I ask a favor?
Could you help me change a life?
I am raising money for mental health. It’s personal . It’s global. Lives matter. It’s for an amazing organization Friendship Bench - Zimbabwe

$25 can save a life. Will you help?

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
Jamie Anderson

Felix Revello de Toro - Woman, 1965.

This resonates with me.

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world, but then I thought there are so many people in the world; there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you.”
Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo photographed by her father, Guillermo Kahlo, in 1932.

That’s the most revolutionary thing you can do. Self love, love for others, love for the world.

This is how I am giving thanks.

My goal is to raise 1K for Friendship Bench - Zimbabwe.
Because of generous folks we are at $665 already , every dollar counts!

Thank you 4 your support
