My First Night as a Volunteer at the Homeless Shelter
This past Saturday, I left the girls with J and his parents and joined a small group of volunteers from our church to lend our hand at the local homeless shelter. It was tiring. It was heartbreaking.

Word as Image
I am loving the Word as Image project and the accompanying book. Started 20 years ago as an assignment in typography class in art school, Ji Lee creates images out of words by contorting the letters that form the word itself. Anyone can create a word as image. It doesn’t require any design or drawing skills. […]
