Music, Mae, Charity and a little Photography

Looking forward to this:

Mae is promoting their Project "Touch" which encourages fans to get involved in some sort of joint community service action related to their tour. I plan to definitely be involved. :)

If you are a Mae fan, you should check out the Maeteam and join.
Go to http:/wwww.whatismae.com and click on "maeteam" and register!
Then add me as a friend. :)

Oh, and while you are at it, I am participating in Worldwide Moment, and encourage you to join in the fun as well. Basically it consists of people from all over the world taking photos at the same moment and submitting them. That moment is September 9, 2009, 9:09 a.m. Japan time. For me, that translates to September 8, 2009, 6:09 p.m. (Mountain time) To find out more check this out:

Hurricane Gustav hit Haiti pretty hard. In particular, a very good work there, The Hands and Feet Project http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=69956497 suffered quite a bit of damage. Please consider helping!


Here are some pics of the damage:

Habitat for Humanity

Well, I hemmed and hawed, and went back and forth on whether of not to enter a contest to help Third Day, Switchfoot, Jars of Clay, Robert Randolph, et al. build a home on the Music Builds Tour, but finally decided to go for it because I believe in the concept that Habitat represents, and support it as a charity. If I win (unlikely) that would be great, but if not, at least I can help out a worthwhile cause. So, if you, like me - believe that helping people to get into a home of their own with some investment of their own time (taking ownership I would call it) and would like to help me and Habitat, please consider going to my myspace page at
http://www.myspace.com/woman4life then finding the Habitat Widget and click on donate. Even $5 helps. And if you can't do that now, consider making a contribution later even after the contest is over.

Thanks. :)

O.K. I tried adding the widget here, and it looks like it worked! The contest said to or through the 15th, which is today.
