Huffington Post story update on the fire

The Saturday before Mothers Day was a fine day to visit The Heidelberg Project in Detroit.  A fellow art enthusiast, design colleague and cultural explorer friend and I made a plan to visit this urban jewel for the first time.  The recent fire at the OJ house gave us an opportunity to see the altered structure for ourselves.  An exhibit titled Kids In The Hood was open to the public at The House of Numbers and peaceful visitors marveled at the lively spirit, playful art and earnest renewal underway.  It really is quite difficult to put into words the beauty and wonder of The Heidelberg Project but it feels quite a bit like a Sociological Altar, magnetic and alive!  I'll be back again and again.

Mother Nature respects Beauty.  Flora, an unstoppable celebration of color, texture and scent.  As the perfume and fashion industry seeks to mimic it's force and allure we embrace it all with open arms, eyes and hearts longing to dress ourselves in divine forms of praise for our creator.

Happy Mothers Day to you and yours may the beauty of nature, friendship and faith find and keep you everyday. -  xoxo alvita

There will be a lot of foot traffic and buzz in the hood this week/weekend for Metrotimes Blowout music festival.  Some of the venues include the Public Library, The Rustbelt Market, and The Loving Touch on Woodward.  I hope to bump into some of you.  If you see me, come say hi and let me know you saw this post.  Music is good for the soul and good for mixing it up here in Ferndale.
