If I can remember correctly we are suppose to blog about a cozy spot that we love. I am so excited to visit everyone. Everybody is so amazingly talented.
Mine might not be what you expect but believe me when I tell you that this truly is a most comfortable and comforting spot for me. The foundation that I serve with is called Todos Los Ninos, this means All the children. We recently helped build a new orphanage in Cuenca Ecuador. The first time I traveled to Ecuador my purpose was to see how I could help the children that would be living in the new orphanage. There were about 10 children that had been placed in our new orphanage "Los Pequnetos", and 40 more would be welcome. We had rented a couple of rooms in one of the other orphanages while the new building was built.
During my stay I visited 8 different orphanages and I visited about 300 children. All of them had brown eyes and dark hair. All of them were as in need as the 10 that had been placed in Los Pequnetos.
My vision changed, I no longer wanted to prepare for only the new orphanage, but I wanted to help ALL the children. When I go back to Ecuador I feel at home. The homes of the children are far from beautiful but the children are all very beautiful and they turn me into jelly and they touch me as nothing else can. With the help of volunteers, both living there and helping, and donations, these children are being taken care of. If you wish to help, contact me.
The picture below was taken in the plane while I was looking out the window at a volcano that had blown a couple days before. My camera didn't pick up the steam coming out of the mountain.
Cindy, you are such a kind and generous lady helping the little ninos and ninas!

ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by and checking out my studio! We have something in common aside from creativity...I used to live in Ecuador for a short time.
ReplyDeleteYour area of creativity is one of the best I have viewed so far, that of human heart! Your post just melted me. Many blessings upon your work in Ecuador.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and for your kind comment on my studio.

Cindy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and for your sweet comment. Yes, it is very nice to have a handy husband when it comes to remodeling. He has done a wonderful job. We have finished up all the prep work and will now be able to enjoy a weekend of rest and relaxation. I hope you are able to enjoy the same.
Hi Cindy -
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful, inspiring creative space you have shown us. It really puts things into perspective when you are able to be a part of something like 'Los Pequnetos', and I bet your artwork has evolved to reflect the experiences you have had since you have been involved in this project.
Thank you so much for sharing your cozy, comfortable spot with us - what a blessing!

Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteNow this is what creativity is all about. What a wonderful spot to create bonds that will last a lifetime.
Thank you so much for the visit and the dear message you left for me about my little shack.
Smiles,
June
Oh yeah, I wanted to say that we will take your son in trade for the shack. (You are too funny) Yes it is on our property. It's a forty acre piece of ground 20 miles up a canyon from our home. We pasture our horses there in the summer and my husband was going up to repair some fences. I sometimes go for an overnighter up there. Some of my friends and I are planning a sleep over soon too, that should be a hoot.
