Alternative Gift Ideas

Are you tired of the same old gift ideas? Want to ROCK SOMEBODY'S PARTY this Holiday Season? Feeling like there is a PURPOSE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE and you want in on the GROUND FLOOR? LOOK NO FURTHER:

Jen Faith Buley, gifted artist and niece to my bestest ladycat Jenny Sue Ziegler is embarking on an AMAZING sea voyage with her boyfriend, Ulf in January. She is in the process of getting rid of all her things and selling art in order to pay for the voyage. You can read more about this amazing endeavor here and then buy Jen's art here.

Original art makes good Christmas presents!!

So does GIVING:

Sanved is an AMAZING orginization that helps young girls who are victims of violence and human trafficking through the art of dance. My friend Mindy has seen first hand how they help these girls and transform lives. There are many ways to help besides money, if you're interested.

Dreams accomplished! Healing abounding! What a great way to greet a NEW YEAR!

Well, there's definitely precedent for two people sailing off to wherever. I have a book called Antarctic Oasis about the adventures of Tim and Pauline Carr (and their boat, Curlew).

They sailed around the world for-- and I am not making this up-- 25 years. They finally dropped the anchor at South Georgia Island near Antarctica. Not the first place I'd think of, but after seeing the pics, I understood.

It's a cool book. You should write one, too. Or blog it, like this woman.

Best of luck on your adventure.

My comment was meant for them and not you, of course. I got confused and left it here. Sorry 'bout that.
