Bryan Adams!

As I'm listening to Bryan Adams on my computer while working in photoshop I hear that "ding" that I have mail! I think I jumped out of my seat when I read the notice that Bryan is performing at the Majestic in Dallas this October!!! Yep, I'm going.

Any other Bryan Adam fans out there? My hubby and I went to see his bare bones tour a couple of years ago at the Majestic and we both agreed that it was one of the best concerts we have attended in a long time. Just him, his guitar, his harmonica, and that wonderful raspy voice of his. Can't get much better than that!

I have to confess that I have an obsession with my music. I pick one artist and listen to them continuously. Bryan Adams is my number one choice. There was a time when I only listened, ok maybe 90% of the time to him. Then it was Lenny Kravitz, but that only lasted maybe 6-8 months.  Next was Death Cab for Cutie. Then straight back to Bryan Adams. So yeah, I'm excited that he will be in town!

40 Days for Nada!

It was miserable suffering the  forty 100 degree plus days in a row, but what made us carry on was the possibility of breaking the record set in 1980 with forty-two days.  We were so close that we were cheering for another hot day, as crazy as that sounds. But, to fall short by two days was so disappointing, a let down.  At least we would have had bragging rights. See how tough we are here in Dallas? We kicked all your butts with this heat wave!

So now that there is no reason to continue this extreme heat... bring on the eighty degree weather! We are so ready for a break. Please!

Things they are a Changing!

I feel like I am on a roll. I have designed a new brand, a new look. With that entails:
- business cards
- a new and improved price list to reflect the changes in the economy
- return address labels
- new look to my blog... tell me you noticed?
- and now... wait for it... a new website!

I'm still working on it and it will take me several more weeks before it is up and running, but since you asked so nicely I will post the home page.

Well, what do you think so far?

One Person Can Make a Difference! - Thirst Relief International

I had the privilege of hearing Jim Davis-Hicks speak at my local photographer's guild meeting. This was about a month ago and it is still "with me":  his impact, his drive,  and his courage to under take such a huge project. I don't ever want to hear anyone ever again say one person can't make a difference, or I can't.  Because you can, he did! 


He is a very spiritual man and he shared his dream about water and that he was supposed to do something with water,  that God was talking to him. He started researching it and discovered the horrific water conditions in third world countries. Can you imagine not having clean safe drinking water.... ever?  Well, 1.1 BILLION people don't have access to clean water. He created Thirst Relief International and has impacted 197,087 lives so far!

Jim, consulted with engineers and they have come up with a bio sand filter: Dirty water goes in and clean drinking water comes out!  For only a $5 donation a person can have clean water for twenty five years. I find that amazing - only $5!  So, give up a latte and save a life!


There are three ways for you to help:
1 - Buy a tee shirt August 1st-8th at http://sevenly.org/ and $7 is directly donated to Thirst Relief!
2 - Sign up on their website to make a one time donation or set up regular monthly donations. http://thirstrelief.org/
3 - Be on the look out for my joint fundraising events that I have scheduled where you may donate with me! 


So, what have you done lately?  Please join in me in this amazing organization and let's make it 197,088 lives.
