Aspiring to Be

❝ Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it. ❞ --Claude Monet

There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night and spring after winter

“The Balm Company basically started last year when my now 7 year old daughter said “I want to make lip balms and sell them, momma.” Naturally I wanted to nurse her young entrepreneurial spirit, so a few weeks later we made lip balm packs and sold them on Instagram. She wrote her customers handwritten notes to say “thank you” and she was able to stick some of her money into her piggy bank. She was thrilled and so proud! Being a full time ‘mommaprenuer’ I knew we could create something great together and give back to the community simultaneously. A year later we have or first mommy daughter business made specifically for families. Ten percent of the sales will go to a women’s shelter in our area and in the 2015 we will be dropping off gift baskets to families in need. We are proud to say our goodies are vegan, handmade with fair trade ingredients and all natural. They are also GMO and gluten free.”

Most art museums don’t want you to touch or photograph their artwork, and for very good reasons. But in the Philippines there’s a museum that proudly says their artwork isn’t complete if you aren’t interacting with it and taking lots of photos in the process. Located in Manila, Art in Island is located in a former bus station and features all sorts of entertaining paintings, some of which are anamorphic in design and fill entire rooms. They’ve all been designed for interacting. Museum visitors are actively encourage to walk up and climb in, stand or sit on, and just generally have fun posing with the art in whatever creative ways they can imagine.

They say Disneyland is “The happiest place on earth.” We think Art in Island is definitely one of the silliest.

Visit the Art in Island Facebook page for more photos.

Since 2012, the Shaolin Temple in Henan Province opened its doors for a number of African students to live and study at the temple for free as part of a program with the Ministry of Culture.

The program lasts five years and the new disciples of Shaolin only need be committed to their training and studies and everything else remains free.
