Aside from being a group of like-minded artists in various media, I like to think of us as a community of individuals who have each other's best interests at heart. Our Swedish friend, SEFA (Susanne), is currently being challenged with some severe health issues. Tig and I have both submitted images for her, rather like get-well cards, and I invite any of you who know her and her work to do the same. The understanding that people you've never met care about how you feel can have a strong, holistic healing effect. I'm a six-year cancer survivor and I know full well how effective something like this can be. You don't have to, I'm not trying to guilt you into doing it, but sometimes it's nice to have a focus other than a contest and heart-warming to do something nice for someone else. Just a thought.
