Today has finally came... just like many years before ~ October 31st same date but celebrated on a different day of the week.... all the Ghosts & Ghouls are in their best dress ~ some are funny, some are scary and others are a fairytale delight but know once the day comes to an end some will already bee dreaming of what they will bee for next year....dreams never stop...
"The Beginning of a dREaM"
A year ago this October two gals that host an art retreat called "Art Is...You" beelieve
in my dream and named "hONeY cOmB cOTtaGE" to be there charity for their art retreat in the
year of 2011.....by the way their names are Ellen & Sallianne. Well things didn't come together
for me and I decided to past on their gift to another charitable organization called "Sarah's House"
it's a home being built in Brewster Maine for families to stay while their child is under going
cancer treatments (its similar to the Ronald McDonald House) Its being built by a man name Stan
in honor of his wife Sarah who lost her battle to cancer. You see I lost my mother to cancer too
and I lost my dad to an accident, so I was orphan by the age of 7 years old. I felt that i was also
honoring my mom and my aunt who raise me who also die of cancer, by handing over the charity
to "Sarah's House".
I know that my dREaM will come true.. I had a feeling or you can say an epiphany ~ that its not
about just a couple of girls, its to serve a help many. My dream became clear to me and the true
purpose of it. I felt & heard that it will be a facility where young girls who are underprivileged,
orphaned, abandoned, sick, black, white, oriental ~ the list could go on.. It's a place where they
feel safe, important and special. Where their creativity will help them heal, become stronger, and
bring light into their world...where they will build friendships and sisterhood. Where there is no
discrimination, popularity contests or grading systems. Where each and everyone is equal and
where their opinion matters. I twill be a hive buzzing with activity, creativity & sisterhood.
All this and more... Without further said, I would like to say that fron an art retreat, a dREaM was
BORN... this dREaM is called "hIve sWEet hIve" a hoME bUzzIn wItH cREatIvIty...,,, My first
first name for it was "hONeY cOmB cOTtaGe 2b" but I decided that this special sweet place
would be a hive of activity and that's where "hIve sWEet hIve" was born...
The activity for this sweet place will have a large variety ~ from painting, paper doll making, ballet,
baking, tap dancing, sculpturing, paper clay, fairy villages, jazz, mini gardening, sewing, crocheting
paper mache, knitting, soldering, music, mosaics, puppet showers, journaling, tea parties, the list
is endless. To let them realize that there is more out there in the world other than a computerize
world, artist/singers that aren't age appropriate, drugs, gang wars, abuse, hatred... just enJOYing
being a child not growing up before their time. A place where they can feel at ease and release their
creativity and be who they want to be. And this would be given to them for free.
The book/journal has been started for "hIve sWEet hIve" I know that the journey will have it's
bumps, potholes & tolls to pay but it will bee so WORTH it when we have reached our
destination... In Jesus' name....Amen!
Well there you have it my dREaM release out to you... some might ask themselves why? I have this gut feeling that this is my purpose and I want to do it... I was blessed in many ways since I was little I would love to now in return bless others... so if there are any of you out there in blOZ land that is reading this, I ask for your advise, any suggestions on what I can do and so other... Have any of you taken a journey like mine? Can you give a girl a few pointers to move her along her way on her journey.
This will not only help many but it will help me to... its true to the saying "Art Saves Lives" well it will help save young lives and to save mine too...
As for the prize that I spoke about it, will be disclose tomorrow... with all the bad weather we had this weekend I could not get to were I had to go to pick up some of the treats, so please forgive me, but I promise you will not bee disappointed. I hope you enJOY my post and photos and I ask you for your prayers for my journey...
Well all that can be said now is... ~ Good Night Blog Land Good Night~
Have a honey of a night ~ sweet dREaMs!
