Thank you 2017!
As part of a vow and dreamvision that is at the basis of my art and life, I am so grateful to have been able to pulse out a record number (for me) of 10% donations to special causes and intitiatives around the globe in 2016. I was Determined to pump it up megafold in 2017 and I feel I did!!
I believe in the accumulating power of all our small positive actions...and so while I'm here on this planet, no matter what, and in whatever small way, I vow to be part of a nourishing rain on as many beautiful endeavors as possible to help them grow. <3 Let there be thousands of us, reaching out to millions- wherever needed. Let us help to nurture the more compassionate future we want to see.
There are several on here that were leftover from my wishlist of 2016 and as I got to pulse support to them I gradually added a bunch more of the causes I support Annually plus some brand new ones! I've made most of them on the list hotlinks so please do learn more about any each...and if any of these causes touch your heart, PLEASE Join me and others to continue to help crowdfund and nourish them! Any amount helps, and "We are the ones we've been waiting for." <3
