You have to love her. No, really, you have to.
July 25, 2011Let's talk about my friend Colleen Wainwright. Colleen writes a blog called The Communicatrix, and I love her. She's goofy, she's adorable, she's brilliant. Her blog is thought-provoking, hilarious, and always, always reflects the goodness of its author. Seriously, if you want to see what a truly good person looks like, spend time on the Communicatrix blog. She is everything I want to be.
In true Communicatrix style, Colleen is celebrating her upcoming 50th birthday by giving. Specifically, she is spending the next 50 days doing her damnedest to raise 50,000 for an excellent cause: WriteGirl, a local (to her) nonprofit that teaches writing and self-empowerment through communication to high school girls.
Here's Colleen herself, talking about her awesome fundraising effort.
Colleen works hard to make a difference. She's the kind of person you want on your team. Please contribute, at whatever level. And spread the word! You'll be making the lives of many, many girls (and one amazing Communicatrix) that much happier. And there are prizes! Come on.

You are a prince among women! Or, er, something like that.
Thank you for this amazingly beautiful and thoughtful post. And remember, if you really want to be like me, just say the word and my hair can be yours!
Well, you know. For a price.
Love the video and the cause, and my birthday is September 13th too!
And I will : contribute, and love her.
Because words save me.
Every day.
Thanks, Alice.
"Words save me." Swallow...yup, that got me! Enough to bring tears. My art saves me every day too...bless you and Colleen both!
A fabulous cause, an even better sharing of support.
Here's to hope and holding hearts high...
with big hugs, Angel
In regards to the "Love. Faith. Believe" poster story from way back in your archives . . . there is a YA dystopian book that is supposed to be the next big thing called Divergent where the population is divided up into categories, and some of the category names are nouns and some of them are adjectives. This inconsistency is a horrible thing, but when I pointed this out on some publishing blog, people seemed to think I was a wee bit uptight.
There's also a preview for the next Pixar movie called "Brave" that talks about "brave" as though it's a noun all up until the very last sentence.
See, here are the categories: http://www.thedivergenttrilogy.com/5-factions
Shudder. It's all the worse since it's trying to be all erudite with words like, er, erudite. And it could have been fixed so easily by making it dauntlessness, abnegation, erudition, candor, and amity--or they could have gone the other way with dauntless, abnegating, erudite, candid, and amicable. WHERE WAS THE EDITOR?
Okay, so I felt guilty about the off-topic comments, so I watched the video and made a drop-in-the-bucket donation. Maybe it will help the girls not to mix adjectives and nouns inappropriately.
Zina, you are adorable. Thanks, everyone!
