The annual TableScape fundraiser hosted by Arts Illiana;  Sycamore Banquet Center at Indiana State University  Terre Haute Scape Designer Requirements :         The designers will setup their 60" round 30" tall, minimum requirement of 4 place settings, Scape Thursday May 15  (between the hours of 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM ) .  My recommendation is to always start early.  That way if you need additional items, you have time to purchase and add them.        Friday May 16  is Celebration of Design-Cocktail Party.  Each Scape is awarded 1 ticket for a designer to attend this fabulous fun filled evening.  Mix and mingle, enjoy spirits, music and hors d'oeuvres and enjoy time with the judges between 5-6:00 pm  before the public arrives!   Please provide the name of the designer that will be attending Celebration of Design-Cocktail Party to stacey@arttotality.org by Monday ...

What would you tell your younger self? -A question asked to a leader panelist at Indiana State University (ISU) during a STEAM innovation class.

In response to an exhilarating, thought provoking, STEAM class at ISU, this blog article emerged.  I had explained to Dr. Malone that soon I was going to write my response to her class and asked for her to share. Upon hearing the question, my first reaction to this question was, how cliché.   Then the wheels started turning, “Wait, how old is my younger self?”.   The ISU student responded to my question, “18”.   Well, darn it I thought, I’m not the panelist with that question to answer.   When I was 18, what I needed to hear and believe was that “You are going to be ok”.   Internally my pain was deep, my smile was a way to hide that from others.   Anxiety disorder was not something we talked about.   Sadly, we did not talk about anything that was not positive.   But this really is not about how deep the pain was at 18, it is about what I needed to hear and believe.    As creatures, we are continuously changing.   Who you ...

During my time of despair is when I found strength. My heart was exposed…I no longer had the strength nor that ability to protect it. Amazing and beautiful people then stepped in, or were they always there and I just did not notice?   I found my ...
