I'm doing 24 things
I saw as part of “true:shift” that they may be doing a mission trip to Africa. I would love to do this.
Does anyone have any experience with this or any words of wisdom?

How I did it
It made me
Unsure 
How I did it: Well, I have been trying to get into Mercy Ministries since October of 2008. I all but gave up after doctors and one previous residential treatment centre made it nearly impossible to get past records and medical health summaries.It took me until 8 June to finally get onto the waitlist, at which time I did 9 half-page/full-page assignments based on books they sent me every 2 weeks. I also had check-in phone calls from their intake de… Read how I did it…

in awe. :) 
How I did it: I met an amazing woman named Stacy Pershall, who was auctioning off art in NYC to benefit her documentary called Better the Devil You Know. She asked if I would be willing to donate my artwork, and guess what? I sent it to her, and it was sold! :) Read how I did it…
It made me
Proud! 
How I did it: So far, I've only had three of my drawings displayed by a friend who hosted an eating disorder awareness week artwork display. She knew I'm very active in "art therapy" and "EDART," so asked me to use three of my previous drawings. I'm hoping to soon publish my own book of EDART with a friend in the UK, and also have one of my art pieces sold for a NEDA auction. Read how I did it…

I am REALLY wanting to participate in the NEDAwareness Week art auction/show: http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/uploads/file/ArtShow_SubmissionsCall-ExtendedDeadline.pdf and the deadline has been extended to five February, two-thousand-and-nine (just to clarify).
However, I am really stumped as to what to do, as it has been awhile since I’ve been “creatively inspired.” I’ve done a lot of eating disorder inspired art; however, a lot of it is based on negative emotions. I would LOVE to do something more positive, especially for this!
So…any ideas?! I typically use the mediums of pen, pencil, and coloured pencils. :) PLEASE HELP! :D
Amazing.

Aix-en-Provence is utterly amazing. I lived in Simiane-la-Rotonde, a tiny village within Provence.
