Welcome!

OKAY!!!

 So part of what makes Blissful Planet blissful is giving back to the community! It is so important for us to remember that we are all here on this planet together and need to take care of it and each other! You know the saying, Love thy neighbor as thyself? It’s not just a good idea! It really works! So in the spirit of that I will be doing my part to give back.  For the next 12 months, I will be releasing 1 limited edition print a month.  The prints will be available in traditional paper prints, as standouts, and a deluxe 11x14 framed edition.  I will be donating 15% of the proceeds from each image to a different charity each month!  The charity will be chosen in part on the time of year, or the subject of the image.  So it is a win-win situation.  You guys get a beautiful new piece of art for your homes (or a gift) and a good cause gets a boost! 

This month’s image is something that every one of you can relate to in some way, shape or form.  I think it is a safe bet that every single one of us has come across one of those pink ribbons somewhere, seen an ad on TV, or has had or knows someone who has had breast cancer.  It is everywhere we look! That is why I decided to do some research on the subject.  FYI, if you ever need to know anything about breast cancer, make sure to check out www.breastcancer.org.  They know pretty much everything on the subject! J   I learned that it doesn’t matter your age, gender, or race.  Everyone can get this disease! It is definitely not a discriminating illness.  And on top of that, about 1 in every 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.   This is out of control! I believe we can do something, and I believe we should do something! That is why this month’s image is entitled HOPE and 15% of the proceeds will benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure.  These are our Mothers, Sisters, Aunts, Cousins, Daughters, Nieces, Friends…this is not just happening to other people, it is happening to our FAMILY! It’s time to stand up and make a difference!

I am really excited about this new project of mine! I hope you stick with me over the next 12 months and support the cause as much as you can. If you don’t want to buy a print, please visit Susan G. Komen for the Cure to make a donation.  Every dollar counts and no donation is too small to make a difference!  Head over to Blissful Planet Photography and check out the Shop For A Cause tab for more information on the prints and to place an order.

Thank you all and God Bless!
