It’s been 8 years since I’ve painted a series of drums, so I was thrilled when the inspiration dawned on me after asking Source how to fund my summer 2023 Spirit Call to study in Italy.
I love sacred drumming and painting drums is just as fulfilling!
This 8 Painted Drums Fundraiser will help cover the costs of 2 months of room & board at the Ananda Italy ashram across the street from the Awakening Arts Academy, where I’ll be getting my Transformative Art Certification.
Want one?
How it Works
The first to pay their $444 Canadian deposit will have first choice to Pick or Pass once I finish painting a drum.
If they Pick, they’ll pay their $444 balance and receive their energy-infused drum.
If they Pass, the next on the list of 8 gets to Pick or Pass.
Why 8 drums at $888?
The short answer is that I received Guidance on this number and price.
The longer answer is that:
Eight (8) is a symbol of infinity and a constant flow of energy. Amongst other meanings, this angel number often relates to abundance and success in achieving goals. Perfect!
According to this website, the number 888 “may be one of the most positive angel messages you can receive… the endless flow of life, as well as the endless flow of abundance.”
When I read that, I felt reassured that $888 would be a good price for both you & I.
Plus it’s double one of my common and favourite reassuring angel numbers, 444. A double blessing for us both.

The LEGO Foundation and UNICEF support conflict-affected children in Iraq through play
Baghdad, 16 December 2015 – UNICEF Iraq received a contribution from the LEGO Foundation that will help give around 50,000 children in Iraq a chance to play and learn. The organizations welcomed the contribution of 4,800 boxes containing LEGO play materials. The donation is part of the three-year global partnership between UNICEF and the LEGO Foundation signed in early 2015. Through the partnership, the two organizations promote quality early learning through play for children around the world. While play helps children address stress, it also performs a critical role in the development of the intellectual, emotional, social and creative skills needed to build the foundation for human development and lifelong learning.
Iraq has seen decades of conflict. Currently, nearly 3 million children have had their education disrupted, and nearly 1 million are internally displaced. Furthermore, over 100,000 Syrian children have taken refuge in Iraq.
Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq (SRSG), Mr. Ján Kubiš, reaffirmed the United Nations’ commitment to children. “Many Iraqi children bear emotional scars from the violence around them, but it is those rendered homeless by conflict who suffer the heaviest consequences. Millions of children, in camps for displaced people and refugees as well as those in host communities have limited or no access to education or recreational activities. It is with their predicament in mind that UNAMI and UNICEF called on LEGO for assistance to extend children affected by the crisis in Iraq with a combination of study and play in the form of creative toys, which might be the first for many of them since they lost their homes and possessions. The donation from LEGO Foundation should be a reminder to Iraqi politicians of the responsibility they share for the future generations, who deserve to live a life of peace and normalcy.”
Generations of children in Iraq have grown up in the midst of conflict, and have witnessed unimaginable acts of extreme violence and have been displaced from their homes and communities. Some children have been displaced multiple times as conflict reaches their new homes. “The opportunity given by the LEGO Foundation should also be used to call for more support to humanitarian programmes, particularly child protection,” Kubiš added.
Representing UNAMI at the delivery ceremony in Baghdad, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq, Gyorgy Busztin appealed to the Iraqi politicians to think about the children of Iraq as they “are the hardest hit by violence and lack of stability. Their fate needs to be the responsibility of all decision makers. We want for them a happy future, away from violence, conflict and displacement in a country that provides equal rights to all its men, women and children. We want national reconciliation for Iraq that will give back to the children of Iraq what they were deprived of, play, learning and happiness, in other words a full childhood. The LEGO toys will teach them to build so that in the future they will be able to reconstruct their villages and towns ruined by terrorism. They will prove that building is superior to destruction” added DSRSG Busztin.
“The negative impact of this crisis on children cannot be over-emphasized,” said Peter Hawkins, UNICEF Representative in Iraq. “Continuing violence has cheated millions of children of their fundamental rights to safety, education and play. Many children have come into this world and grown up knowing only displacement and conflict. The donation from the LEGO Foundation is one positive step forward, allowing some of the most disadvantaged children to play and learn in a fun and safe environment and become the next generation to build a better future for Iraq.”
“Play is the most effective and inspiring way for children to acquire the skills needed to create new possibilities and meet the many challenges of the future. In the midst of violence and instability, playing and education can help to alleviate trauma for conflict-affected children,” said Mirjam Schöning, Global Head of Programmes and Partnerships at the LEGO Foundation. “Through play, children can address stress and develop physical, intellectual and social skills, as well as creativity. Together with UNICEF, we work to put a stake in the ground for children and their development through quality play-based learning.”
The LEGO play materials will be distributed to 538 schools, 46 community centres and 8 child-friendly spaces across Iraq, giving over 50,000 children access to learning activities. The LEGO Foundation and UNICEF will provide training to build the capacity of teachers, facilitators and community members who will then guide children through LEGO activities as part of the initiative.

Bree Learns Sideways Circle
By Lindsey Forkun, www.LFEquestrian.com
Yesterday I was playing with the big Clyde x Friesian mare named Bree. I was teaching her some new things, one of which was the sideways circle. Bree has already learned the basics and can do circles, haunch turns, forehand turns, etc so I have been working to test her understanding and our communication with more difficult tasks.
I decided to teach her sideways circle because it is an exercise that has the horse focus on me, think more, and establish myself as a leader. This is because it is an exercise where I stand in the centre of the circle, and the horse steps sideways around me. It is an exercise where I stand still and the horse does all the moving - which helps the horse realize that I am the leader of our herd because I don't move, but they do. The horse is always facing me so the horse learns to focus on me and follow cues. The exercise gets the horse moving sideways with no forward or backward movement which helps the horse become more of a thinker because sideways takes a lot of thought.
Bree is a very smart horse and she picked up the cue really quickly. When teaching a horse something new, it is good to remember:
- be patient: allow the horse time to think about what you are asking them to do, don't expect an immediate response
- quit when you have understanding: once the horse gets what you are doing, reward the horse by moving on to something else... if you keep practicing the horse will start to think they are doing it wrong and they could give up or get very frustrated
After Bree started to move in the sideways circle, I allowed her time to stand and think. Then we started doing something familiar to her - the circle - so that her mind could take a bit of a mental break. After some circles we did some work with hula hoops - getting her to stand with her front feet in the hoop. Then I asked her to do sideways circle out of the hoop - to my delight she remembered the cue and did it perfectly both directions!
Key tips for this week: Horses can only show you how smart they are if you move beyond the basics. Challenge yourself to try and teach your horse something new.
