I’m a sucker for collaborative art projects, and this group that has painted pianos and dropped them all over New York City makes me really happy!

If you enjoyed the story, here are more clips of people playing pianos on the streets of New York. Pretty awesome.

How can you inject a little creativity into your neighborhood today?

Listening is an Act of Love

I heard about this on the radio and thought it would be neat to share — a new holiday that won’t add to your waistline or credit card bill, National Day of Listening.

Brought to you by the people behind StoryCorps (”Our mission is to honor and celebrate one another’s lives through listening.”) , National Day of Listening invites you to use the day after Thanksgiving to connect with loved ones, interview them, honor their stories, and share your love and gratitude. Although the organizers encourage you to record the interview, there’s nothing that says you’d have to.

Whom would you interview? What would you want to know? What do you think you would learn?

Click on their list of Great Questions to get you started. Hint: Use these questions as prompts in your journal and learn something about yourself!
