I'm recovering from a 14-month Lyme relapse, and I wanted to celebrate the occasion by doing something that will make a positive difference in the world: shaving my head to raise research funds for childhood cancers.
In 6 days, the good people of my tiny town will gather for a veritable bald bonanza. In 2013 (the first year I shaved my head), we managed to raise nearly $20,000. Last year, that number almost doubled.
Since its inception, St. Baldricks has raised over $154.5 million dollars.
It's amazing what a bunch of crazy, compassionate, generous head-shaving people can do.
If you want to get involved or learn more, head over to stbaldricks.org.
If you're interested in donating to my fundraising page, it can be found here: www.stbaldricks.org/participan…
I hope this journal entry finds you healthy and content, and that all is well in your corners of the world.

words to live by, zooey edition
"Don't let someone steal your tenderness.
Don't allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart.
Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to be affected by things. Whether it's a song,
a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all -
look around you. All of this is for you.
Take it and have gratitude.
Give it and feel love."
- Zooey Deschanel
Beautiful words from a beautiful heart.

"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe."

For a while now, I've been itching to pick up a camera and find out what it's like on the other side of the lens.
Over the last five years, I've been fortunate enough to be photographed by quite a few very talented and lovely people, and it's taught me that one of the greatest gifts a pers

I just stumbled across the work of woollymammothmusic (https://www.deviantart.com/woollymammothmusic).
He's been a member of DA for two years and has some incredibly beautiful work, but for some reason, he hasn't received much attention or recognition.

when all else fails (by scott james prebble)
Every now and then, I stumble across a photo that grabs ahold of me and won't let go.
I'm not quite sure what it is about this image that makes me adore it so much, but it was love at first sight
(and it put a huge grin on my face)
I'm sharing it here, on the offhand chance that it does the same for some of you

Well done on the fundraising.
I've been off more than on here for quite awhile but you will see more of me as the days go by.
