Celebrating Small Business…and My Student!

Back in my past life as an elementary school teacher, I always told my students, “If you get into trouble, if you do anything harmful to yourself or others, my face will appear and you and I will have a conversation.” I hope this hasn’t happened to too many of my kids, but I’m sure my second grade student, Daniel Kolukisa, has never had a reason for me to appear (right, Daniel???).

Happily, I’ve discovered that Daniel has been doing good…damn good!

Read about his new small business, damngoodclothing.com in my latest blog post.

Celebrating Kindness & Creativity

I’ve chosen my painting, View from Wendy’s Kitchen, to celebrate WildesArt 2.0: a place where creative folks and people doing kind deeds will be heralded. This painting represents the view from my late friend, Wendy’s, kitchen window, which I painted for her when she was battling cancer. Wendy and I became friends in college (late in life), and she always reminded me to look for the beauty in nature, small objects, and in people.

Keep an eye on the new WildesArt to discover people who are making big and small differences in their communities. After all, we can all use a jolt of positivity in our lives!
