Friday Findings: Let's make things better...

The other day we heard the very sad news that one of our StreetTeam friend, Claudia aka MundoGominola past away, a young talented artist who we didn't knew personally but somehow touched us all at the Europeanstreetteam with her gorgeous warm art. There has been a sadness at our forum where we usually laugh, many of us never have seen her face but she is in our minds...

This sad news reminds everyone once again that there might be no tomorrow, we can lose someone close, and be sorry for the things we 'never' had the time for. New year is almost here, maybe this is the time to think of the the things we can do to make the world a better place to live in it in a better way, before we regret the things we didn't do, before it is too late...


Like telling the ones we love, 'I love you' more than ever...




By not forgetting the ones we lost, and give them a safe place in your heart...





To live in peace, no fights, no anger, no hate...





To cry when we need to, so that our humanity not dies...




To quit smoking, eating healthier watch out for ourselves and others around us...




To hug, kiss and love whenever and who ever you can, you can never have enough...


To recycle, upcycle whatever you can and not waste food that others need so much...





By thinking more about our water and energy before it is all gone...





By spending money not only for ourselves but also for others and good causes...


(craftysandy)


There are many things we can think about and need to change, before it is to late...
One of the last words Claudia said was: " no quiero estar aqui cuando se acaben las risas.." meaning ''I don't want to be here if there won't be laughter''
So let's laugh and wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year!

  13. It is so sad that many of us need to be reminded that we should show more love to the persons we care about. And that it many time is sad and bad things that remind us of this.
    I Loved Claudias work and even if I know she was sick it is a shock and she will be missed.

    Hugs and happy new year wishes!
