It takes a Village...Hurricane Sandy

As I look around my house that is cozy, my children and pets that are safe.

Then look to the devastation on the east Coast from Hurricane Sandy.

I can't help but feel almost guilty that so many suffer

while most of us are safe and secure.

At the same time, living in California, I am aware that a massive earthquake could

take this all away.

Crying yesterday while reading my friend 

Jenny Holiday's Story  

of her hurricane Sandy experience,

I felt compelled to donate something to the cause.

So, I am donating this piece of jewelry that is Entitled, "HOPE".

For through every STORM cloud the SUN is ALWAYS shining and 

no matter how horrible life can be, we must always have 

HOPE!

By donating through the ART IS YOU site, this necklace and many other artists work places you in a raffle to win one of the items.
