Today’s Pay It Forward Giveaway benefits The Lantern House. A faith-based local non-profit community organization started by some of my friends to promote creativity and the arts. Their events that I have been able to attend have impressed me by the large, energized and supportive community they have fostered in a short time and the professionalism and thoughtfulness that they put into everything they do. The multi-disciplinary nature of their approach successful connection of creative people with a wide range of interests. Discussing art and creativity with these folks in a posture of gratitude and curiosity has been very enriching and I’m thankful for their efforts to the local community in our area. I will be leading a break-out session for their upcoming conference in December. If you are in town and interested, I hope to see you there!
