I am floating....My mind..my heart...my spirit is breaking through my skin and being released through my hands..my feet..my head and slowly lifting my body off the ground. I am shaking with excitement...I have butterflies tickling the lining of my stomach...I am laughing out loud! It is raining and cold...I don't care.I am happy...empowered...inspired...hopeful.
I just experienced probably one of the best hour and 30 minutes of class time that I have ever experienced in my life.
The class was all about Art Activism.
Naomi Natale (age 24 at the time) had a vision, after spending time in Kenya, to raise awareness and money for orphans in Africa. She turned her vision into a project called The Cradle Project. Asking artists from around the world to create cradles out of used materials she created an event that raised $90,000 for orphans. Now 26, she is currently working on her next project
1 million bones (which I am going try to help with).
After leaving class I felt so inspired and so happy to know that it truly is possible to execute what I want to do with my life. It was as if someone dumped a bucket of hope all over me. I almost jumped out of my seat screaming with excitement! "I KEE KEE KA!"...as Celine Dion would say.
So whadda ya say....how about we change the world!?
