Okay, I up and did something a little crazy.
In a fit of blatant and unrestrained vanity, I entered the Sexiest Vegetarian 2010 competition!
SOOooo… Do you think raw foods have made me sexy? 
Whether you do or don’t, please go here and vote for me: http://SexyVeg.com (It takes just a moment.)
Why should you go vote for me? Frankly, I can’t think of a compelling reason. You won’t get anything in return (except maybe a small deposit in your karma account). But it’d really mean a lot to me if you voted for me anyway. I think it’d be just fantastic to make it to the first page, even if just for a little while! Perhaps I’ve given you some good free information in the past that you appreciated.
Anyways, I’m not vain enough to actually believe I have a shot at winning… But hey, I had to try it.
"I'm dead sexy..."
I believe in miracles…
Where’re you from, you sexy thang
(Sexy thang you)
I believe in miracles…
Since you came along, you sexy thing
… … …
P.S. The contest is put on by PETA. Now, I’m not a huge fan of PETA. Their heart’s in the right place, but I’m not into the militant, in-your-face tactics. It seemed like a fun little contest though.
Today the Thanksgiving holiday is being celebrated here in the United States.
Whether you participate in this holiday or not, it’s a perfect time to deliberately and consciously consider the things you have to be grateful for.
We all have our own troubles, problems, and issues. Nothing is perfect; nor will it ever be. But everyone has things to be grateful for! So today let’s focus on the positive.
Seriously. Stop and take just 5 minutes right now to think about all of the good things you have in life.
I’ll share with you some of the things I am grateful for. (Maybe it will help inspire you if you’re having difficulty getting started.)
- Good health.
- Having plenty of good, clean food to eat, and never having to know what true hunger is like.
- A home to shelter me from the elements.
- Having a relatively care-free life (compared to many less fortunate people around the earth).
- Two caring parents who looked after me while I was most vulnerable, did their best, and helped shape the person I am today.
- Good, close friends and a loving family.
- All of the opportunities that have been available to me throughout my life, and the inspiring people I have met along the way.
- Being alive! And being witness to all the amazing splendor of the universe.
What are YOU grateful for? Share your thoughts with me by leaving a comment below.
And have a happy Thanksgiving.
Today I went to the 2009 Italian Street Painting Festival. It’s a little street fair where they block off a section of road and all kinds of artists come and do amazing chalk drawings on the pavement. Some 60,000 people come to see the street art.
My son Rocky wanted to try his hand at the chalk art, so we got a 2 foot x 2 foot square in the kids section. He drew a picture of me in a grassy field complete with a plug for my web site!
The budding artist and me, as he contemplates his next stroke.
The final art, complete with website plug! Doesn’t it look like me??
Me with coworker and featured artist Amber Long, standing on her work-in-progress of Billie Holiday.
More fine art. There are nearly 200 of these squares and the sheer amount of art talent represented is mind-boggling.
Can’t wait to see this one when it’s finished!
