The artists and art above and below show the vibrant colors and bold stance of the subject give a strong clue to whether or not a piece is Gullah art. The art is a symbol of the culture of the people. Everyday life is beautiful and should be celebrate. The people are proud of whatever they do and always seem to have a calming look on there face. Even during tough time they always find a way to get through.

If you keep up with any news form the Low Country you heard the voice of  Nadine Collier (Daughter of deceased Ethel Lance) when she forgave her killer in an open court in Charleston, SC.)

That is the strength of the culture and the strong belief in God's love that they have.

 

Whitney Dangerfield of The Smithsonian Magazine once covered the Gullah life in a well written story and features a short film of some of the people. Click the story below to go to that article but come back with a comment on the culture.

Two therapists

 

Ben Wakeling, a self-trained art therapist

 and Jon Hall, a former record producer-turned-music therapist

created a out of the box therapeutic studio.

 

As Jon explained,

“We're really trying to get people back on track once they've had an episode in hospital and they come here, to help them to start looking at getting their lives back together – that's where music and art can help.”

 

 

God bless those individuals that step out of the box.

The World Is Becoming A Circus

 

 

As things look more and more like a circus in this world,

try extremely hard to stay in your familiar neighborhood. If you find yourself traveling stay on Sane Street and never get on Crazy Drive. Crazy Drive leads to an interstate that's easy to get on but hard to get off and it will eventually drop you off in some of the  darkest neighborhoods.

 

 

 

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Galatians 5:22-23

It's not always what it sounds like.

 

 

Aren’t you precious

 (Most always said sarcastically in response to someone being offensive (i.e., if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say it at all)

 

Go off half-cocked.

(have only half the facts)
