Journal Entry: Fri Feb 13, 2009, 6:50 PM

People DID Make a Difference! / Also Presenting LOVE FEATURE PART V.

Dear Friends, Family, Watchers, and Other Talented Deviants,

Greetings Everyone, who has a chance to read my journal.

UPDATE!!! Again, I applaud

all good intentions toward the efforts to save the home of `hellfirediva & her spouse Mike, against Foreclosure. Whether, helping by spreading news via articles or journals or by actually contributing to the cause, YOUR GOODNESS HAS PAID OFF.

The original info. and happy update is with =yamiyalo here:

.

Foreclosures may be common enough these days, but that doesn't make them less painful for each family, and it doesn't mean that we should feel helpless in an overall overwhelming situation.
O'Contrare-
It is like the well-known story of the STARFISH. If you don't know this story, or have forgotten it, please consider reading it. It is VERY SHORT, Story of the StarFish:

This makes THE LOVE FEATURE PART V [see below] seem extra special this time, right along the lines of the kind of love that is my favourite kind- love in action that helps our fellow-humankind. Love is all kinds of things, so long as it is good. It is so broad, extending from ourselves and the idea to encompass Humanity

A Very Special Birthday/Introduction/Tribute Feature

My special and beautiful friend ~LauraLeePhotography

& I met just over five years ago this Winter, in Guitar Class.

I honestly don't know what I would have done without her ever since.

Laura is a very committed and loyal person to those she is close to, and her family and friends are blessed by her.
I know I am, having absolutely zero family nearby. Sometimes, this is not easy, and it is not always easy to have anyone close enough who would/could help out, especially in some of those desperate times. Sometimes friends are more like family, like Laura.

Laura just recently needed to get a new computer, and not only that, she switched over to Mac, and so she has been learning a new system, plus using photo programs for the first time! I have always seen she has such an eye for photography though!!

She is learning a lot of new things, and bringing this to Deviant Art for the first time ever- she's only been here about a month.

Plus... Today is her BIRTHDAY!!!

[& she's been slightly under the weather lately...]
So, if you read this, maybe you wouldn't mind surprising her by going to page and wishing her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Here's a few of ~LauraLeePhotography's works:
