Sometimes, life events and disasters happen that make us feel completely overwhelmed. It is much easier, we tell ourselves, to hide from reality than to face something seemingly hopeless face on.
But Creativity whispers to our hearts that anything is possible, as long as we try.
Illustrator Kelly Light has found an incredibly Creative way to deal with the Gulf Oil DIsaster. Artists from all over the world are donating tiny original paintings, drawings or digital prints to be sold to anyone who makes a $10.00 donation to two organizations helping to tackle this disaster. "Swan Song" (shown above) and "What Greed Can Do" (below) are two of the images that I will be sending in to Kelly for this cause.
INHALE: Never give up hope. Something beautiful or creative can come from almost any disaster or tragedy if we keep looking for possibilities. Just look at the infinite variety of how different artists of all ages and walks of life have felt moved to contribute. It may almost take your breath away!
EXHALE: If you can draw, paint or doodle, consider creating a piece of artwork for this worthy cause. If you prefer to appreciate art rather than create it yourself, browse through this blog and keep an eye out for an image that appeals to you. Follow the blog, spread the word and make a difference. The card I bought arrived in the mail a few days ago and now graces the wall of my office. Remember that you can always use your Creativity to make the world a better and more beautiful place.
