Make My Wish Come True

Rossana Martinez — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 14:20:00 +0000

Before this wonderful 2008 ends, I just want to thank you all for being part of art & life. Your visits and comments are truly priceless.

I wish you are already having a great holiday season and that the new year brings health, peace, and purpose to everyone!

Everyday, we hear about how people are loosing their jobs and homes. And everyday, we see it on the streets of New York City.

This year, Art Movement is participating in a Virtual Food Drive for the Food Bank’s annual campaign. I understand it’s hard to give when we don’t have much, but any amount — small or large — will help Food Bank provide free meals to New Yorkers in need. $1 provides 5 meals, a $20 donation can feed 100 people. Food Bank’s mission is “to end food poverty and increase access to affordable, nutritious food for low-income New Yorkers throughout the five boroughs”.

I didn’t want to set a specific goal amount. Art Movement’s goal is simply to give and help others.

If you would like to make a donation, please visit Art Movement’s Virtual Food Drive.

THANK YOU and Happy Holidays to all!

I love the holidays, but as a minimalist at heart, I strongly believe in finding gratefulness in our everyday and not only during the holidays. I prefer a nice small gesture everyday ⎯ a smile, saying good morning, staying positive during a difficult day, a nice conversation, cooking and sharing a meal ⎯ over a one day big gift or celebration.

After spending a wonderful holiday with family, I’m grateful for everything, but especially for all the small moments of 2008. And every time I feel my baby boy kicking in my belly…I’m simply grateful for life!

I hope you all had a great and happy holiday!

Here We Are

past, present, future…

This time of the year is so great, but overwhelming at the same time. There is so much to do before we take a break to recharge our batteries (I have about one bar left!) and celebrate the holidays. It’s the time when we look at the past, present and future all at once – accomplishments, where we are now, goals.

This week has been busy with meetings, reports and everything else. Staying in the present during yoga class was a challenge. My mind and heart are already close to family, friends, beautiful sunsets, stars and warm weather!

But before we all go and run – at a slow pace – to the future so we can enjoy the holidays, I want to thank you for being part of the art & life dialogue.

I wish you have a wonderful holiday season filled with tons of love and sweet moments. See you in 2008!
