Hart Deer, a musician friend of mine:
"I'm going to gig at Red Light on December 6th and presell tickets for $10 a piece. I'm working with a promoter, but I will donate ALL of my share of the proceeds towards select non-profit entities. Please consider purchasing a presell ticket from here as there will be NO tickets at the door:

I'll be raising money for:
Art4TheHomeless
Agape Community Center
Covenant House
And a little seed money for a non-profit collaboration I'm doing with some friends called The Church of Rock and Roll, which will do big secret things that everyone would like if they knew what.
If you've never been to Red Light before, it's a great place. Wonderful food, board games, and strange beautiful music. I'm encouraging my own little crowd to commune with each other and make some new friends, as my own crowd are the best people ever.
After the show we can all hang out, philosophize over some beers (or tea), and it will be a grand evening.
Just recently, I found out that a friend of mine isn't really a friend. She slandered not only me, but claimed to have been the founder of Art4TH, claims to have had a business plan for five year business plan. There's more. She was recorded on tape saying these things and I am posting the link to the video here so YOU members and friends of Art4TH can hear her voice. She may have stabbed me in the back, but she still has a voice and has her rights. She wants to be heard so let's hear her. Click here to watch the video

I am feeling so positive today! I do want to share the joy with everyone. Today has been a great day--great report from the doctors visit--well her coumidan levels were a tad bit on the high side but that means that her bloods thin enough to get that clot out but its back to normal or will be :)
Art4TH is doing great. I printed out the IRS 1023 form and have been working on it. I am not going to send it off or date it until the full $350 is raised but I am almost at $100 with only $250 more to go and it WILL come.
Earlier this week, I was feeling discouraged, wondering where the money will come from, wondering if my mother will be okay, things like that. I put it out of my mind and focus on the good things--not just the things I am trying to do, but the blessings in my life--we have shelter, food, clothing, health, I have a job, means to create, and we have friends who support us. What I have is priceless and I am not going to take it for granted. I thank God, the Creator, for His divine gifts, and want to send some of these positive vibes to everyone who reads my blog.
