Island Boys by diLuisa
We spent some time visiting the villages of Samoa. The children there were so amazing! Despite their extreme poverty, they always had smiles on their beautiful faces and found happiness in the simplest of things. These three boys helped out their family by picking fruit each day and selling it on the street. When my husband offered to buy ALL of the fruit that they had picked that day (and then handed over quite a bit of money extra) these boys became so emotional and wouldn’t stop hugging him. We later found out that the money we had given them, although not that much for us, was enough to feed their entire family for weeks! I took this photo as we were leaving…...the boys waved and ran after the car all the way down the road…......I will never forget those three little angels! This photo was featured in “Your Magic Place” AND ‘UN!TY’ – thank you so much! Samoa truly is a magical and wonderful place, with magical and beautiful people! Thank you for seeing that through my photo! >

Kisses honeyed by oblivion by Matilda Chambers
“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.” / -St. Augustine

Grace- a true success story by TREVOR IRWIN
This Beautiful Painting has been created by Sister Irma and donated to Philadelphia Mission. Please visit her stunning art at: http://www.redbubble.com/people/noel78 “Truly Grace has inspired and created passion in many here on RB and around the world”. When I first took this Photo of Grace in 2006, Grace was extremely poor and lived in Tunga/Zuga, a very remote village in Nigeria. In 2007 when I and the mission team returned , many children were ill. We did what we could with the little resources we had. But Thanks to the many here on RB, you donated via our charity website and donated art and sent meds to our mission centre in Africa. Now Grace is healed and very well. She certainly would have died, but thanks to you who prayed, and donated, she is full of life. I would also like to thank Redbubble for such a wonderful site and for the many precious friends I have made. ALL PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF MY ART, DONATED ART, PLUS DONATIONS MADE TO PHILADELPHIA MISSION CHARITY, GOES TO HELP EXTREME POOR AND SICK IN REMOTE AND RURAL VILLAGES IN AFRICA.

Akuti - A real Gypsy Princess, and her people need you! by TREVOR IRWIN
PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO READ THIS. I am an Irish artist and missionary working with extreme poor in Africa and India. In this one camp 52 children suffer from Intestinal worm infection, and the death rate is very high. This is due to lack of clean water. The is Akuti, an Indian gypsy girl aged 11 years. Her name means ‘Princess’ and she really is a Gypsy princess. But she, like almost all of her people, the Nara_Kar-Avars (gypsy children), are treated with contempt and rejection, and denied even the basics of life. To be born a Gypsy under Hindu religion is to be born into the lowest of the lowest casts. / Known as Outcasts and treated as Untouchables, Akuti and many millions like her face a life with little hope. / She has never gone to school, as her parents barely earn enough to feed her, and cannot afford the £70-$130 per year they need for school fees, uniform and text books. My passion and mission in life is not just to pray and preach to these precious people, but to provide clothing, and the cost of school fees, medical care, and provide tools to help them earn or make a living. / The Philadelphia Mission is a small underfunded, yet effective British charity doing just that in India and Africa. We need you, my friend, to help us do much more. Become part of this mission today! Sow a seed into the life of Akuti and other children in real and terrible need. All PROCEEDS from the SALE of my ART, or DONATIONS made VIA our CHARITY WEBSITE GO to HELP EXTREME POOR and SICK in ISOLATED and RURAL VILLAGES in AFRICA and INDIA. / We TAKE NOTHING out of what YOU GIVE to the Philiadelphia Mission Charity for our Overhead or Support at all. We are NOT SALARIED and we each COVER our OWN expenses, so ALL that YOU GIVE GOES to these CHILDREN To make a donation, or find out more, Please visit our Charity Mission website* / (http://www.philadelphia33.org/) “See 4 DVD CLIPS of our work in Africa and India“:http://www.youtube.com//PhiladelphiaMission(http://www.youtube.com//PhiladelphiaMission) Camera: Canon EOS400D.

Hopeful Attitude by tkrosevear
Attitude is EVERYTHING / Our attitudes determine whether we feel fulfilled or empty, wealthy or poor, happy or sad, accepted or rejected. It is the rudder of our ship and determines the course of our lives. It is more important than how much education we have; how clever we are; the level of our particular skills; our past accomplishments and future prospects, or how much money we have in the bank. Throughout our lives, it influences our friendships and all other relationships. Quite simply, it is the seminal factor in a life well lived versus one that is a constant struggle. Current research suggests that positive attitudes about aging are a greater factor than wealth, gender, or even our cholesterol levels in adding years to our lives. / We are what we believe. Our belief system is based on our past experience, which is constantly being relived in the present with an anticipation of the future being like the past. Our present perceptions are so colored by the past thing that we are unable to see the immediate happenings in our lives without distortions and limitations. With a sincere willingness we can re-examine who we think we are in order to achieve a new and a deeper sense of our real identity. / To experience this sense of total freedom, it is important for us to detach ourselves from past and future preoccupations and choose to live in an immediate sense of NOW. To be free also means not to be confined to a reality that seems limited by our physical senses. This, in turn, allows us to see and to participate in the love we already share with everyone. / Love can be looked upon as the total absence of fear. While all of us want love, many seem unable to experience it with any consistency. Our guilty fears from the past block our ability to give and receive love in the present. Fear and love can never be experienced at the same time. It is always our choice as to which of these emotions we choose. By choosing love more consistently than fear, we can change the nature and quality of not only our relationships, but our entire lives. / When we perceive another as “attacking” us, we usually feel defensive and find a way, directly or indirectly, to “attack” back. Attacking always stems from fear. No one attacks unless he or she first feels threatened and believes that through attack, one’s own strength is demonstrated at the expense of another’s vulnerability. As with all defenses that are designed to keep guilt and fear from our awareness, attack usually preserves the problem. / Most of us cling to the belief that “attacking” can really get us something we want. We seem to forget that “attacking” and “defending” do not bring inner peace. In order to experience peace instead of conflict, it is necessary to shift our perception. Instead of seeing others as attacking us, we can choose to see them as fearful. We are always expressing either love or fear. Fear is really a call for help and therefore, a request for love. It is apparent then, that to experience peace we must recognize that we do have a choice in determining what we perceive. / Many of our attempts to correct others, even when we believe we are offering constructive criticism, are really attempts to attack them by demonstrating their “wrongness” and our “rightness”. Thus, it may be helpful to examine our motivations. / Are we teaching love or are we demonstrating attack? / If others don’t change in accordance with our expectations, we are likely to regard them as guilty and thus reinforce our own belief in guilt. Peace of mind comes from not wanting to change others but instead, merely accepting them as they are. True acceptance is always without demands and expectations. / It seems black and white to me, especially after listening to a song this evening from the 1980’s called The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics which confirmed that we have the ability and power to choose our attitude in any moment, regardless of the circumstances. / I am hopeful about healing my own mind and heart, and having harmony and integrity in all I think, say and do…the ingredients for Peace of Mind.

unconditional love is... by James Lewis Hamilton
This tee became like a meditative mantra for me (like writing over and over on the chalk board)... I know the message is what I want to experience… it’s just so seemingly counter-intuitive growing up in a world governed by ‘conditional’ love. I ask myself; “What does ‘unconditional’ even mean?” “How is it expressed?” “Do I even know what and how to ‘forgive’?” “Or give?” Here’s a great self question; “Would I dare wear this tee shirt?” / The design also became an experiment in fonts and effects with different styles. I had fun doing it, and for at least this fleeting moment I feel an inner sense of peace… even joy. / Or as my Thai friends might say; “You impress the heart.”
