Grooming Good Eggs edition of Vocal VibesHave you gotten a door in the face lately or had someone butt in on your parking spot? Did it make you grumpy? Well stuff like that makes my guest and 300 plus people he knows grumpy. So much so, that they started a national movement to soften the boil. This edition of Vocal Vibes cracks some good deeds done dirt cheap.

 
 

 
 
 

I call this my internet galaxy because of the array of projects that I’ll be sharing with you here.

Sometimes I feel that I’m jumping between planets when I move from writing to graphic art/photography to singing/recording. Though a few of my projects have their own website, this is the one place that you’ll find info on or links to all of my works.

Please make yourself comfortable and take a cruise through; listen to my music, read some of my writings and drop me a note if you have a question.

New articles are posted on my Writing page. There you can also read more about my e-book. You can sample and purchase Before The Mist in multiple formats from Smashwords.

 

my Seeing Circles chair for the Send A Kid to Camp auction

Seeing Circles

Year 3 of painting a Muskoka chair for the  Send-A-Kid to Camp program charity chair auction. Sudbury Manitoulin Children’s Foundation has an online and silent auction every year to raise funds for this wonderful program.

Circles of all sorts are the inspiration for my aptly named “Seeing Circles” chair. The motivation of the design is to celebrate the circles in the circle of life – Friends Family, Healing, Prayer, the Sun, Moon and Earth.

Check out the rest of the splendid chairs to place your bid…

My Bird Berber

my virtual adoption bird BerberAt the end of July I did something I’d wanted to do for months. I picked one of the very many adorable parrots at the World Parrot Refuge and signed up for a virtual adoption. It’s so easy to help the WPR help these birds. With my monthly donation of $10, Berber is a happy – and well cared for camper – until the end of his days. 

This pic was taken in 2011 shortly after he was taken in by the WPR. I’ll post updates on my feathered friend over the next few months. From the World Parrot Refuge website you can pick a bird too.
