100 Reasons To Be Hopeful

I have recently been contemplating new art projects

That I would like to start in 2022 and have been thinking about the things that are important to me and how I might be able to add a little light to a world.

If I may, I would like to get your feedback on another project that I would like to start in 2022.


Here’s the idea.

These days, it’s rare to get much in the mail other than bills or flyers. I know when I receive a little package, letter or card of a personal nature it really brightens my day.

For this project I would like to create a simple postage friendly talisman that I can mail out to people who want a little more hope in their lives or want to share some hope in the world.

The idea would be that I will send out one of these clay creations to a person that requests one, and an additional 1-3 of them for the receiver to send out to one or a few of their contacts. In this way, together we can send out a little brightness and hope all over the world.

I am thinking through some of the details of this project.

The design of the talisman, setting up a webpage where people can leave hopeful messages to the recipients, and including a map, so we can see where in the world hope has been sent (only the city would be used as the location marker on the map). Maybe we will run across Carmen Sandiego! (sorry for the obscure reference).

I would love to get some feedback on this idea from you and hear what you think!

Do you like the idea for this project? Is it a project that you would participate in? Do you have any suggestions for this project?

This project would be totally free for people to participate in. I plan to put in $100 for postage costs to kick off the project, and may even leave a few of the talismans in various places.

You can subscribe to our newsletter for updates on this project and more details of how you can participate.

Those who are regular readers of this blog may be familiar with the Healing Vase project. This is a project that is open to anyone looking for healing, for themselves, others or the world, or who are looking to let go of things. You can still get involved, before we fire that vase on December 21st of this year.

Wishing you all a great day!

  4. WOW, you have a lot of positive comments… I too think your idea is wonderful. Add me to your list of recipients. I find that reading your daily posts brightens my day and gives me hope.

  5. I really love this idea. I find it so inspirational.Iam always looking for inspiration and motivation to do something that can benefit others, especially people in 3rd world countries who are disabled, people anywhere who are lonely, people with mental health issues who feel left out and cats, cats and more cats. My dream is to raise awareness for street cats especially in 3rd countries where people do no have the means to help them and they are left on the streets to struggle to survive. I have my wordpress page My woestijn i hope one day to make into a book to fund the foundations of a cat sanctuary in Morocco. I would like to participate in this project.
