Another Thank You



Wow! What a past couple of days!! Let's admit it---what a week!! Full of extreme emotions and overwhelming gratitude. And if you watch the video above Hansel and I made for you---full of laughter as well.

I am grateful, so, so, so very grateful. This was the beginning of a new chapter of my Creative Juicy Life, and what a great foundation to set.

Thanks again to all the Lovelies who opened up their hearts and wallets, and showered Hansel and I with great LOVE!!! As promised, Hansel and I randomly pulled three Lovelies to win some Dirty Footprints Studio LOVE of their own.....so please congratulate Kathy Jordan, Jonathan "Blade" Manning, and Kelly Warren--I will be contacting you three soon to talk prizes!! (Plus--Hansel and I are making certain that every one that contributed feels like a winner--keep your eyes open..that's all I'll say!)

And, I just want to say again that both Hansel and I were blown away--totally flabbergasted---by the huge web of LOVE that fell over Dirty Footprints Studio in our time of need. We appreciate all that you did to help us---from the Lovelies that donated $2 to the ones that donated $50 and even $100--thank you, thank you!! We also are extremely appreciative to the many of you that helped tweet, facebooked, and blogged our news. The generous community that rose to the opportunity to support a dream and help a Creative Juicy soul made me very proud to call myself a blogger--very proud to be part of such a family of Creative Juicy souls---very proud of the amazing individuals that are friends and readers of Dirty Footprints Studio!!

All of you--even the souls that come here and only read--who never leave a comment--EVERYONE--your energy is felt and alive here at Dirty Footprints Studio--you matter to me. Your Creative Juicy presence is the reason why I want to give more--to be more--to serve the world more as a Creative Juicy Spirit of Light. Thank you once again....and please, please remember--there is great, great LOVE here for each of you.

Big hugs my friends!!
BIG HUGS!

Poor Hansel, he was trying so so hard!;) Amazingly cute video, you are such a lovely couple and it's great to know I got to help, even if it was just a little bit.

I have always felt that the world is such a wonderful, giving place...I also believe that it is about surrounding ourselves with the right people and we, the creatives of the world, are some of the kindest souls on earth. You never fail to make me feel loved, every single time I get a note from you or watch a video or read a post or tweet from you. Hansel is part of our creative world and he is part of you...showing the love in return was just the natural thing to do. You show love and you receive it in return. My love to you both! (Great video, too! LOVE IT!! ;-) )
Peace & Love,
Barb

Jason and I just watched this video together and were cracking up (that is, until I started crying.) When Hansel said that he is going to take photos wherever he goes, I could feel just how much he loves photography. The tears started flowing because I KNOW that feeling, deep down inside.

I am so glad the community gathered together to support him and his dream. I have a feeling this is the beginning of good things for him.

Big love to both of you!

Oh, you guys!!! Just brought tears to my eyes. I could feel the emotion in your video. Just so cute. I'm happy to get to know Hansel a little bit.
As the love you show to us, does come back to you.
Blessings, Sheila

Connie,

You're saying thanks thanks thanks, but I feel like I'm the one who should be/and is more grateful. You are so generous with your skill, your heart and your time, that it was incomprehensible not to try to help. I had a good month in my freelance world, so I could give a certain amount to help Hansel get re-equipped. What touched me the most was that so many people gave whatever they could. As you know, the amount was irrelevant; the intention was powerful. I was so thrilled to be one of the raffle winners. But now I have figured out what I'd like to do: Have you re-gift my prize options to the person (or one of the persons) who donated $2.00. I have a feeling that what he,she or they did was more generous, relatively speaking, than my contribution. Meanwhile, you gave me such a great idea! I'm going to try to build my online network by raffling off one or more of your AJLL workshops. So I'll be back to you about logistics, etc.

Finally, have to say that this horrible-turned magical-episode is a great example of how we may not have to wait so long for karma to take effect. Hugs to you and Hansel. I look forward to seeing what you and he create individually and together. ((()))k
