The Power of the Blog, Compassion & Action---->

 

I found Nie Nie Dialogues blog through a friend of mine; Kelly McCaleb a while back.  I loved Stephanie's blog; it was always uplifting & inspiring to read!  Totaly eye candy & it just always made me happy.

Flash back to August 18th, when my sister , Amy, called me & asked

"Did you hear about  Christian & Stephanie Nielson?  They were in a plane crash.."  she told me about the injuries, the tragedy & their 4 little children...my heart sank. I always hate hearing this stuff.

 Amy: "Jeff (our youngest brother) hung out with/sang with Christian."   more heart sinking...

You know when you are on the internet & you don't put 2 & 2 together...you're clicking here & there & it's so fast paced, you just miss some things? ...well, I hadn't put it together that THE Nie Nie & Stephanie were the same.  duh. So, as I was surfing various blogs, I put it together.  even more heart sinking....

Their experience & their families' experiences have been shared all over the internet through their blogs, tv, newspapers...& I read Jane's blog everyday for updates.  And, I've been so inspired by the family's courage & the rallying of the whole blog community!

I've been stewing over this; praying, thinking & wanting to do something...take action!  What could I do to help them? I want to help!!!!

So, Two Peas is getting involved. Next week, we'll have a huge collaborative digital kit up for sale called: Silouhettes for Nie Nie.

 

I have to tell you; creating these 'inspiration cards' for the kit was very emotional. It was one of those 'artistic experiences' that just moves you..your soul.  You know what I'm talking about...it was uplifting!  

All proceeds will be donated to Nie Recovery ...every penny. This makes me happy!  ...& seeing the other art from all of the other designers make me happy.  

I'll keep you posted & have links for you, but please: consider buying this kit...it's for the road to recovery for this brave family.  It sounds like it will take a miracle in this recovery.  And, I believe in miracles! 

Have a great day...hug your families & pray for the Nielsons!
