Every Little Thing Counts

Believe With Us & Ellianna's Story.

Most of you probably noticed I was managing a t-shirt fundraiser campaign the last few weeks. It is an initiative to help a family of close friends whose baby girl named Ellianna has been diagnosed with Leukemia.

Cancer is not unknown to us. I can probably guess that more than 50% of us knows somebody that has been affected or is currently fighting it. And, as with many other health issues as this, it is always hard to know how to respond and see how one can be of help.

In the midst of feeling frustrated of my incapacity to change their situation, I realized that every little thing counts. I may not be able to change Ellianna's current health conditions, but I do have the opportunity to join them and give myself to her and her family during such challenging season.

This is how the "Believe With Us" campaign started. It was the desire of giving  by using my talents to create a venue that would include others in helping Ellianna's family.  It was, as her dad said, an invitation for everyone to remember her and many other children and families going thru the same and to believe together!
Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much – Helen Keller
I am incredibly grateful and blessed that I got to create the design and join them, even in that smallest way, as Ellianna beats cancer. Thank you to the many of you who supported it, shared it and continually keep Ellianna's family in your thoughts and prayers.



Sincerely,
Macarena White.

The Dream of Hope

Bringing Hope to At-risk Kids and Families Zona de Esperanza or Hope Zone is an organization branched out of Youth With A Mission in Baja California, Mexico.

I was honored to help design the logo for what it is known as " Los Niños de la Zona " or Zone Kids. But as the years passed, more and more needs were being met, and they began to invest in mothers, fathers, and also the teens who started to come. Not long ago they were able to lease a building in the area to use as the main center to provide these services for the community. It was then when they realize that they needed a broader name. And that's how Hope Zone came to be. Zona de Esperanza is now the main umbrella under which all other groups will fall, with the primary ...

The mix of arts

The mix of Arts  Enjoying the different aspects of creation  The key to growth is to keep learning. I realized long ago that I do not have it all figured out (though I wish I had), which can be frustrating. I also realized how that could be a blessing in itself. It may take more effort, more time (that in most cases nobody "pays for" if it is work related), and some more researching that one was hoping for, but in the end, it is worth it. Not only because you have learned something new and awesome that you will most likely use in the future (with a lot less effort next time), but because it is glorious. What I mean by that is that you get to feel the world expand and the barriers fall, and the reminder that there is so much more. The realization that you can be even better than you thought. That is superb. Not as a mean of bragging or prideful boasting, but with a humble heart and a childlike mind, as you realize that you don't have it all figured out. Realizing t...
