Day 167: Six.TwentyOne.13
I went to an awesome coffee shop today. How I have never been before is beyond me.
On my way back to my car, I passed cute houses, friendly faces, and these awesome birdhouses made from found-objects, including a flip flop.
Needless to say, I’ll be returning shortly.

My dear friend, fellow dancer, and soon-to-be business partner (we’re working on some awesome upcoming events, stay tuned!) shared this video with me and several other friends. It was the inspiration I needed today. Here was my response on Facebook:
“Gardening is the most therapeutic and defiant act you can do. Especially in the inner city.” – Ron Finley
1. I think I just fell in love. You should watch this, and fall in love, too.
2. I wanna ‘Plant some ish’ and ‘Change the soil of our communities.’ I’m working on it, but sometimes, if truth be told, I feel like it’s hopeless. Like there’s nothing I can do. And then sometimes, I just don’t know where to start. Ron is a testament to what can, and is, being done. A reminder that it doesn’t take a huge, earth-shifting act to make those changes possible. A reminder that passion, integrity, creativity, and a healthy does of defiance, is the best recipe. I WANT IN.
3. Side note, make sure to peep Ron’s shirt at like minute 7:20 – ‘Unfuc* The World’ uh. DOPE. I WANT ONE.
So… Let’s get to planting, and creating, and sharing!

Day 43: Two.Seventeen.13
One of my favorite things to do in Philadelphia is go discover more incredible details at Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens. Whenever I have friends in town, I make sure we head to this incredible world filled with mosaic and found-object art. This is upcycling at its best. And it’s always a special treat when Isaiah is on-site working or speaking to guests. Just so much talent and creativity and beauty surrounds you, literally from floor to ceiling, when you are in this magical, magical place.

Day 42: Two.Sixteen.13
Today was my moving party. Well, more accurately my going away party. I love entertaining – mostly the decor and ambiance side of things. I also did the cooking (it was all edible, hooray)! Event planning is a career track I could see myself enjoying. If I didn’t have this innate need to do something philanthropic that is. Although, I suppose the event and party planning I do through my non-profit career, as well as my own organization totally fits the bill for creating parties for good.
Moving Party
At this particular party, I set up a Kraft Korner – a ton of random crafting goods I have accumulated, that I didn’t want to pack and take with me. I was expecting a few friends to indulge me and decorate a candle holder or something. I had NO idea the ENTIRE crew would get into it and create some of the coolest pieces of re-purposed art around! (mobile, framed drawing and collage, bouquets of flowers…) Instead of getting rid of things, I now have even more to pack because they all left their amazing pieces for me, sigh!
Kraft Korner Delights!
