Take It To The Streets.

During trips to Chicago and New York we came across some of the most phenomenal street art. First in Chicago on a visit to see Brock Wisely of www.vividbraille.com we were inspired by a message telling us to try harder to love. Let that soak in for a minute....

Our trip to New York was more than expected. We ran into a true street artist using the ground as his canvas and sand as his medium. Pouring sand from his hand in complex patterns he managed to wow an audience with his temporary pieces. Being that we were on a limited time schedule, Doni W. of www.livluxmag.com was so nice as to send us the pictures that we couldn't take at the time.

Today think about your craft. Whatever that may be. If it's cooking, singing, drawing, mentoring, WHATEVER! Do it like YOU! The artist shown are perfecting what they do and we can respect it because they are the ONLY people that can think how they think. God gave you your brain and not your neighbors. Thank Him for that.

Now use it! Perfect what you do!..... and get excited about it!

THE COOL

No two are alike. We all have something about us that make us... us, and that is COOL. Today, tap in to that. Wear what you feel and forget what the next person thinks. This is peace.

Articulating Life Through Sound

Hearing a sound has the ability to change us in the moment. A morning bird chirp might remind us that we've been blessed to see another day. A certain ring tone from that special person might comfort us and make us smile. A simple giggle from someone might be all we need to see a situation totally different. This is why music is so great! It is all of these things!

Have you ever heard a song that you loved and for that second everything was right with the world? Have you ever heard a song that told your story and helped you through a specific issue? No one ever says "I hate music", although they may not like a particular song.

In the three clips below (the last being a movie clip) the artist articulate life through instruments and voice to create music that has total healing power! The first is an original by a good friend to Closet Studio, the phenomenal Brittany Biscoe, followed by one of the greatest song writers of our time John Mayer and last, a clip from the Spike Lee Film "Mo' Betta Blues" created by The Branford Marsalis Quartet.

Close your eyes, sit back for a second and see how these songs change your mood.
