overwhelmed by the images of the devastation from Typhoon Haiyan,
I took my desire to help to my work desk.
When things like this happen, we want to help.
my thoughts of the Filipino people go immediately to the most basic of human needs:
food, water and shelter
but I also think of:
calm after the storm
peace in the midst of chaos
trust when life is achingly uncertain
quiet in the clamor of confusion
hope when children are looking up to you
love that survives the very worst in life
each piece of beach glass has a Filipino word on one side
and the corresponding English word on the reverse
they are available in my Etsy shop for $5 each and 100% will be donated to
a reputable 501(c) organization I supported after the Japanese Tsunami in March 2011
I plan to paint at least 200 of these
and will have a weekly update of the funds raised - by you and me together - right here on my blog
