Supporting the Arts

Art surrounds us in many forms:  dance, music, sculpture, paintings, etc. Art nurtures a child's intellectual and educational development. MOVING heARTS Foundation Is an art-based organization that aims to build relationships through the visual and performing arts for those in need. My GrandGirls and I attended their recent Very First Interactive Gala Fundraiser. The evening was filled with students and instructors in musical theater and dancing performances as well as live painting demonstrations.  The event was sponsored by http://www.momentumdancecenter.com/  owned by Cathy Lozano; and http://www.thedrawingboard.info/ owned by Jamie Kough.  Cathy's philosophy is to "help raise human beings and the artist in each of us is a big part of that." Jamie stated "I am just so profoundly motivated to bring the arts to those who aren't experiencing or participating in them due to financial constraints or health concerns." Cheers to Cathy and Jamie for their support of the arts!

Love ever gives, forgives, outlives, And ever stands with open hands, And while it lives it gives. For this is love's prerogative, To give, and give, and give. God bless all those that I love. God bless all those that love me. God bless all those that love those that I love And all those that love those that love me. - From a 17th century needlework sampler

See Jane Explore Follows Her Heart to Los Rios Historic District

I discovered the Los Rios Historic District in San Juan Capistrano last year.  Did you know that it's the oldest neighborhood in California?

Within the enchanting and unique shopping experience of Los Rios, you will find a beautiful store that offers a year-round selection of eclectic items suitable for any occasion, http://www.cottage-home-and-garden.com  I invited my sisters-in-law to join me there in a fairy garden class.  The three of us had not been together in a very long time.  The class was a great way to re-connect and share our creativity and some laughs.

By the way, Cottage Home and Garden is celebrating their 3rd anniversary from Friday, January 27th thru Sunday, January 29th.  I'll be there celebrating and shopping MY heart out for some Valentine gifts.

Have you thought about going to a class with a friend, relative or perhaps a friend who needs some cheering up?  Cottage Home and Garden offers a wide variety of year-round classes for all ages.  Check out their schedule http://www.cottage-home-and-garden.com/events.htm

I would love to hear about your Los Rios experience!
