The post office were quickly up and running again and in many cases the first news that loved ones were safe was by postcard.
Inspired by the wonderful impact postcards can have, we would like to invite artists and poets to send tangible messages of support to communities affected by the devastation by making A5 size original artwork or poetry postcards. This is a professionally curated travelling art show.
To date the LS14 Trust together with Seacroft Residents Association has been successful in supporting the Seacroft Gala and creating Sing on the Green at Christmas.

I have undertaken to mentor a number of gifted Eco-tecture students in the future as the Director of Creative Designs. It is a very challenging tasks to stimulate future ecotects to “think of the Impossible” and then combine that with their technical know-how, “Make it do-erable”! That is at least my personal ethos in undertaking the mentorship program for the future. This is where Fine Arts meet Functionality, on a practical & culturally sustainable level.

We would love for every child to have their own musical instrument one day! In the meantime, the aim of setting up a shared experience is so that they will have a joint Musical Group in the future!

We just have to change our idea of what makes a restaurant successful and go back to the “pleasure of enjoying one another’s talents & skills” instead of being told what our pleasures should be by multi-million marketing campaigns.
Being a Macrocosm for Global Inequality is the LAST thing we want for Hong kong’s Public Relation Image! Beyond the measure of Profit and Growth there are also ideas about Human Development Index that measures what is the quality of life for all those involved in Hong kong’s prosperity. Isn’t it time, Hong kong takes the leadership position when it comes to United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) ?
*****BOTTOM LINE: Hong kong, Lets Aim Higher! Lets Aim to have the HIGHEST HDI in the world!

It was not difficult to skip dinner. What was interesting was that for the next 5 hours all sorts of emotional issues came up, as my body sent out signals from my brain about a “break in the daily ritual”. My brain wondered,”Oi, where’s the food I am used to?” This took a few hours to calm down. I had a cry. It was like watching me in a play.
There is no avoiding it, in British fashion there will be a huge “royal” theme underlying the April Wedding. But it does not have to be tacky if you take … Continue reading →
The path of sacred women…. Listen to your womb, to your heart, if you feel you are ready to step up and do the work, all you have to do is show up and be willing to learn from one WHITE ROSE..
