Earth Hour…

March 24, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Earth Hour

Earth Hour…
…is a worldwide event organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and held towards the end of March annually, encouraging households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour to raise awareness about the need to take action on climate change.
The event, conceived by WWF and Leo Burnett, first took place in 2007, when 2.2 million residents of Sydney participated by turning off all non-essential lights. Following Sydney’s lead, many other cities around the world adopted the event in 2008.

“People from all walks of life, from all nations around the world, are the lifeblood of the Earth Hour interconnected global community. They have proven time and time again that if you believe in something strongly enough,
you can achieve amazing things!

Earth Hour 2013 is being tonight on March 23, 2013 from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. during participants’ local time.

I will be participating.

ARE YOU?

Asking and Giving…

March 19, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Give & Receive

A Vision for Asking and Giving 

As the new paradigm opens up before us, we see a world where people realize that everyone needs help on occasion, and that asking for it is one of the best ways for us to receive the things we want and need in our lives. Not only do we ask for help from our fellow travelers, but we also have learned that it is wise for us to ask Great Oneness / God / The Holy Spirit / for help and direction when we feel lost or confused or unsettled.

Now, all shame and guilt is gone as we freely ask for the support we need. All resistance to our receiving has disappeared – and another by-product of our asking has come to the surface: the people who help us are presented with opportunities that they need to further their own growth processes. Indeed, there are many in our world who benefit greatly from being asked for help, because it allows them to practice giving and enjoy all the rewards that their giving brings to them.

Such is the way of the new world. The Love which is born out of the cycle of asking and giving is known to all, accepted by all, and practiced by all. As a result, our selfishness and turned to selflessness, and our feeling of being alone has turned to a feeling of being at One.

The Meal 2013

February 22, 2013 · 3 Comments

A meal with everyone… last year over 4,000 people from around the globe sat down together to share a meal.
Not only did they help to raise awareness about world hunger, but they also shared a community experience!
This event is created by the Art House Way: “THE MEAL”

One moment. One meal. One photograph. And now Let’s Eat!

A world meal 2013

 I made Chupe Andino for this 2nd annual of The Meal! …a delicious hearty soup from the Andes 

“Worries go down better with soup” ~ proverb


 Here is the recipe for about 8 persons:

Ingredients:

1 chicken, in pieces
4 corns on the cob, cut in 3 to 4 pieces each
1 can of cream style corn
1 onion, finely chopped
6 cloves of garlic, peeled & chopped
4 large potatoes, cubed
2 cups of milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 bunch of cilantro
½ lb. of fresh white farmer’s cheese, diced
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Place the chopped chicken in a large pot and cover with water, add onion, garlic and some branches of cilantro. Cook the chicken until tender, removing impurities that rise to the surface of the broth. When the chicken is cooked remove from the pot and let cool, debone and cut into chunks. Strain the broth and bring to simmer, add the peeled & cubed potatoes, corn on the cob, cream style corn, salt and pepper to taste, and chunks of chicken. Once the potatoes are cooked, add the milk and cream.

Serve with the diced fresh white farmer’s cheese and sprinkle with cilantro leaves.

Buen Provecho!


“He’s the only man I ever knew who had rubber pockets so he could steal soup.” ~Wilson Mizner (Playwright, 1876-1933)

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
