To paraphrase Alice Cooper, “Welcome to my daydream. I Think You’re Gonna Like it. I think you’re gonna feel that you belong.” (Hey, one guy’s nightmare is another’s daydream. Right? I mean, check him out on The Muppets. That’s the bomb!) Thanks to my most awesome BlogHer roomie you can now see I have a new blog theme. It is fairly naked and straight forward. Works well with my attitude and creative side and most of all, makes me smile. Hope you like it too.
Oh, and I did the NY City Ballet dvd2 warm-ups and floor exercises this morning. I’m not letting my roomie be the only one to get Thin by 10.

I’ve picked a new WordPress theme for my blog, called Daydreams. (Time for a look that shows more of my creative side.) The work is being done by my BlogHer ‘09 roomie, Gwynne. Stay tuned for the new MelEdwards.com!

Help Mel and 105 Other Women Live Their Dreams!
Regular readers of this blog and friends of Votre Vray Creative Women project know 75 women artists were interviewed in the summer of 2008 not only to share their stories of living creative lives, but also to promote their work. Some of you might even know that I, Mel Edwards, was fortunate enough to win a scholarship to BlogHer ‘09 Conference in Chicago to be held in July. What you don’t know is the plan to pay it forward.
May 15th and 16th I’ll hold the Grab Your Truth weekend, complete with a free showing of Shout: Kiss My Art! on Friday night and mini-workshop on Saturday morning for 40 women who want to begin living their creative dreams but cannot afford to pay full price for the event. (The Weekend to Grab Your Truth costs $50 per participant without any frills or any compensation going to me for putting it all together.) For now, I’ve slapped the debt onto a credit card and crossed my fingers that people will donate knowing doing so will help the 75 Votre Vray Creative Women gain media and customer attention, help 40 more women get on their path to living their truth, and help me gain recognition for my work, and perhaps enough money to fund my train ticket and/or hotel expenses at BlogHer ‘09.
