Thanks Sarah Redpath for bringing Joe to my Meet the Artist event last week! Joe DeRusso III, I'm so honored you started your art collecting journey with one of my works. And how great to be able to deliver this gallery-wrapped print in person last night. I started collecting art from other artists a couple of years ago. It is so rewarding to know the person that made your art - their style and what inspires them. Part of what Joe liked is the story behind the painting. So here it is: This is the bottom section of a larger work titled, As Above, So Below. 🐠 🌴 In this section, the schools of fish and sections of the palm tree symbolize our thoughts, feelings, and gut instincts. They are having a meeting to consider what they really want before they break the surface. 🌅 I think of the underwater sun (refracted through the surface) as our higher purpose - what we were placed on this earth to do, accomplish, create. That is the focal point. It feeds and energizes us - even if only subliminally at first. The more we tune in, the clearer it will become! I have #ADHD, which means I have a strong action bias and tendency towards impulsivity. Using my mind's executive function BEFORE I jump, helps me focus on the goal and visualize success, thereby increasing the probability of success. Visualizing success allows me to jump higher with more precision. It also helps me identify and label my feelings, so I'm less reactive. Ultimately, we make our own reality and Fortune favors the bold. #choosepositivity #makeyourownluck #assumepositiveintent As Above, So Below also has some other historical interpretations that I found thought-provoking. According to Wiki: https://lnkd.in/ebSD-eVg 1) "the effects of celestial mechanics upon terrestrial events. This would include the effects of the Sun upon the change of seasons, or those of the Moon upon the tides, but also more elaborate astrological effects." 2) "the structural similarities (or 'correspondences') between the macrocosm (from Greek makros kosmos, "the great world"; the universe as a whole, understood as a great living being) and the microcosm (from Greek mikros kosmos, "the small world"; the human being, understood as a miniature universe) 3) associated with the philosophical mentalism (the primacy of mind as the active cause of things) And studies from Psychology Today re: luck and opportunity: “Researchers at the University of Toronto recently demonstrated the benefit of seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. They found that people in good moods actually take in more visual information, while those in bad moods don’t see as much around them.” “Those who call themselves lucky score higher on the personality factor of extraversion. That means that they are more likely to have a fortuitous encounter because they meet lots of new people and keep in touch with a large group of friends and acquaintances."
And look who has started his Art Journey! Joe DeRusso III purchased a painting from 👑 THERESA RAINES 💛 and received it at the Fine Arts League Of Cary #Gala last night. Happy faces all around. Watch out, Joe. Art is addictive! #artcollectors #buylocalart #localartists #artevent #fundraiser

Meet Alfred. Alfred is immune compromised and does not want to dance and get sick. But here he is, cutting a rug, kitted out in one of Tetra Bio’s PAPRa battery-powered masks. The box on his back carries a fan and an N100 filter. The fan pulls air through the filter and pushes it into his mask, with the result that Alfred can dance the night away with no fear of getting sick. Tetra Bio Distributed is a non-profit organization, constantly searching for open-source ways to bring relief in everyday situations. Founded during COVID, the company has given much thought to the uses of masks beyond the prevention of a pandemic. With the current air pollution in much of Northern USA and in other areas of the world, powered respirators that can filter air remain on the front line of protecting human health. Tetra Bio’s PAPRa is a Helpful Engineering supported project. This means that we open our network to build awareness, raise funds and source volunteer support from our community to support the continued development of PAPRa. There are two main ways to get involved: 1 - Your donation enables us to fund product design and innovate open source solutions for emergency situations. For all donations over $75, we will send you one of our through-hole boards, the only part of the design that cannot be 3D printed or bought off the shelf. https://lnkd.in/gZVhP9Ac 2 - To volunteer on mask design or any other aspect of the build process, please contact info@tetrab.io #donate #maskdesign #opensource #engineering #respiratory #solutions #volunteer #helpfulengineering #sustainability #medTech #medicaldevices https://lnkd.in/gcNXQ-Kt

From The Prompt's newsletter: How Retailer Neiman Marcus is Leveraging Creativity & Experience to Drive Innovation: Neiman Marcus is no stranger to extravagant and unique gifts, and their 2018 Christmas Book is no exception. From a walk-on role with the American Ballet Theater to starring in a Disney animated film, the luxury retailer offers something for everyone with deep pockets. But beyond the lavishness of these gifts, what truly sets Neiman Marcus apart is their commitment to giving back. Each of these "fantasy gifts" incorporates a charitable component, with proceeds going to organizations such as the Make-a-Wish Foundation and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. This highlights the importance of creativity and experience in the retail industry, and how companies can drive innovation while also making a positive impact on the world. By leveraging their resources and thinking outside the box, Neiman Marcus continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of luxury retail. #creativity, experience & innovation,
Hang out with Team USA at the Paris Olympics? For deep-pocketed gifters, this extragant present is up for grabs

Embodiment Engineer || I help leaders, trainers and facilitators work their magic by leveraging our embodied intelligence || Ph.D. in Physics
Follow your intuition, exercise your imagination… … during the World Wide Wander on September 29th. From 13:00-15:00 CEST I’ll guide you on a 2 hour Street Wisdom walk and group sharing at the vibrant NDSM wharf area in Amsterdam (indoor and/or outdoor, depending on the weather). Registration link for this free #walkshop in the comments 👇. When I followed my intuition on one of my recent walks I ran into a #PerfectStranger who embodied many #wanderful life lessons. Sculptor Nirman Cain was chiseling away, while telling me to really listen to what the rock wants. To look at it from different angles, zooming in and zooming out, sensing where it wants to flow and what wants to emerge. 🪨 Everything is there already, the only thing he does is helping it unfold. 🪨 Do you see any similarities to life? Where does it want to flow for you? And how can you follow this current instead of fighting it? Come and find out with me on September 29th! PS. No fees, a donation for a ☕️ or 🥪 is welcome. #Intuition #Imagination #Curiosity #EmbodiedIntelligence #Serendipity #AnswersAreEverywhere #StreetWisdom This picture and more beautiful rock art can be found at Nirman Cain’s website, link in the comments.

We donate portrait sessions to charity auctions across the country. Many people consider this a “photo shoot” and not worth the trip; a few find it amazing. Here are two typical responses: 1) Wow, we've been looking for something of this quality and know it is rare today. We are thrilled to travel to San Antonio since this portrait will last hundreds of years. Doing it right the first time is the best value for us. 2) You mean we "have" to travel to San Antonio? Isn't there a local option? For the first answer, we are here for you. Our composite process produces better quality than paintings and has almost nothing to do with photography. For the second, there is always a cheaper and more convenient option, if that is good enough for your needs. You have a phone and can take a picture yourself for free. For most, that is the best solution by far. What is your legacy worth? We can't answer that question, but if you answer it with a goal of quality and care, we are the best option.

Think About It Thursday What will be your legacy? Have you ever sat down and pondered this question as you reflect on your life? It is a heavy and significant question that causes individuals to reflect on their impact on society, family, and friends, and how that impact could continue after they have left this physical world. Could you be remembered for the impact you made through donations or legacy in your will, which contributed to a charity you hold dear to your heart? Your donation could help continue bringing that service or need to those who require it for generations to come. Could your legacy be that you were a leading voice for advocating for positive change in the world? Did you always support movements for equality, inclusivity, human rights, etc.? Or would your legacy be that you were a kind person who led each day with their heart and taught many people around you the importance of helping others? You could do this by performing random acts of kindness, lending an ear to listen, or even giving the best hugs when someone needed it. There are many more ways one can leave a legacy. The video below is a great example of how choreographer and professional dancer Len Goodman left his legacy in the world. On the Dancing with the Stars TV show, a year after his death, the dancers came back to pay tribute to Len's impact on their lives. Watch the YouTube link below or in our Linkinbio on Instagram to see how a legacy was made. https://lnkd.in/dQKAEeKD #legacy #whatwillbeyourlegacy #jessicashousehospice #exeterontario #hospicecare Comment or 💙 below if someone's legacy has helped guide and support you in your life.

Did you know that art is a great way to get involved in your local community? Getting involved with the arts at a community level can help to reduce feelings of isolation and anxiety, improving your overall mental health. Here are some of the ways that we think you could get involved with your community through art: 🖌️ Look for classes and workshops offered through community centers, local colleges, art stores, or independent artists. Try a class in painting, pottery, jewelry-making, photography, etc. to explore your creative side. 🖌️ Volunteer at an arts organisation like an art center, theater company, youth project, or museum. 🖌️ Support public arts programs and events in your town like art festivals, mural projects, and outdoor sculpture exhibits. 🖌️ Follow local artists and arts venues on social media to stay in the loop on shows, events, and opportunities. 🖌️ Help fund community art projects through crowdfunding campaigns and donations when possible. Do you have any other ways that you can help to create a sense of community through art?
