The Highcroft Lifebook Project

A really cool guy named Billy Warhol who connected with this site through MyBlogLog. After reading through it, he left me the following message "I was telling my Flickr Friend Silvisrivers that he should be on Oprah* He's trying to bring attention to Mental Illness by having people express their Feelings in their own LifeBook* Maybe i was meant to see this Guruth!! He then sent me a link to the North Birmingham Community Arts

I clicked on the link expecting to see Birmingham Alabama, but was surprised to see that it is Birmingham England! My father was born in Hawick Scotland, but spent a lot of his childhood in Birmingham so I felt a bit of a connection to the place already. And I have experienced the healing power of creative energy and storytelling so I am happily bringing his video of the project to you!

It will take about 5 minutes to watch, but only a click to learn more about how you can help Silvis Rivers' dream become real.

I am truly touched watching that again*

Seriously not to sound too sappy but it almost brings tears to my eyes seeing that amazing Video + hearing Sivis Rivers amazing spoken words*

I can't thank U enuf for this Ruth*

That was really kind of U & i do Hope & Pray (altho i'm not very religious ;) that a larger audience gets to see this as they should*

As U so rightly pointed out We All need Healing*

Especially now in the World with a lot of bad things going on - maybe this will help not only raise people's awareness of Mental Illness but by Healing ourselves we can all work towards ending Hunger + Poverty + perhaps even attain that elusive Peace*

I'm not an expert in this area by any means but i think the only way to get there will be Teaching children at an early age to respect each other + learn to Share*

Cheers GuRuth! Billy ;))

Peace*
