Holidays

We all come together in these moments of rejoicing and love.
To thank God for all of that life has given us and all of the warmth of the family unit.
I personally have much to thank the lord for.
I thank him with and open heart and I pray that all is well with my loved ones.
That they always find the joy and peace that they need and deserve.

But I also want to take time out and ask God for the less fortunate,
I ask that God help them and protect them in all of their needs.
May they find the resources and health and the guidance that they need.
Lord look upon them.
Thank you Lord.

That's A Lot Of Change In That Pot

Chinese Artist Sanyu Breaks Record With $6.7 Million Pot of Chrysanthemums:

A painting of chrysanthemums by Chinese-born Sanyu broke the artist’s auction record last night, fetching HK$53.3 million ($6.7 million) at a Christie’s International sale in Hong Kong.

A competition between two telephone bidders pushed the price of “Potted Chrysanthemum in a Blue and White Jardiniere” beyond the HK$35 million presale estimate and above the previous record of HK$42.1 million at Christies in May 2009.

About the show:
“Femicide” is defined as the systematic killing of women for various reasons, usually cultural or domestic. Femicide is seen as a gender crime. Most of the women were raped before being murdered and some were mutilated, tortured and dismembered. It is an epidemic of gross proportions. The mutilation, rape and murder of women along the US/Mexico border, Congo, Guatemala, South Dakota, Egypt and Iraq has become an annual statistic, with little mainstream media coverage and even less national outcry. And the worse part of it is that many of these disappearances are not even investigated, they literally disappear, vanish and are wiped from legibility.

How can rapes, incest, beatings and mutilations in such places like the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bosnia, Darfur, Afghanistan and Haiti go unanswered? Where Femicide, the systematic and planned destruction of the female population, is being used as a tactic of war to clear villages, pillage mines and destroy the fabric of Congolese society.

Art by Mia introduces “Femicide”… bringing it to the forefront through visual arts, poetry and music. More than thirty works by over ten emerging and established artists will be on display. They will evoke emotion, create dialogue and bring the coldest soul to its knees. The exhibit’s focus is to bring awareness to the atrocity of female killing all over the world.
