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.

About Me
- GuRuth
- I am the first Cultural Strategist in Texas, in fact I am the only one in Texas! In the years spent developing iCREATE, I've used my deeply-held values in alignment with my compassion & intellectual curiousity to create profit in both public and private spaces for a wide range of constituencies. I speak, teach and consult internationally with a mission to inspire my clients to live their best lives by working with them to identify touchpoints that engage them on their personal path towards success, satisfaction, and connectivity. I love nothing more than to explore the diverse topics inherent amongst culture, commerce and community...and then develop projects articulating how all those elements work together as the basis for sustainable growth based on shared values. My life experiences have led me to admire the insight of Albert Einstein when he said "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."

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*
