Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:02:45 GMT http://www.ooakguild.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=48 Today marks the day that 8 years ago - the world watched a terrible and tragic event unfurl before our eyes and our world - was changed forever. Today let our thoughts for a moment think about those who so bravely tried save total strangers they didn't know, risking and in some cases, losing their own lives. Let us all send our thoughts and prayers to those families and loved ones who were so devastated by this event, as their pain is still there their loss is still great and they have not and can not ever forget. Let us not forget them - for at least one single moment ... on this tragic anniversary. Take a moment especially to think of those soldiers in the battlefield in the here and now, even still to this VERY day - whether you agree with the war or not - they are there risking themselves because their country asked them to ... and they are far from home and loved ones - send out a little thank you prayer/good wishing to them as well, even if you think the war is pointless, keep them in your thoughts and prayers so that they too ... might come home to their families and loved ones. Let us all take a small moment of silence today or several of them to remember and pay homage to all those that died and fought and are still fighting for our countries ideals and foundation - please, go hug your loved ones close, call them up, and say I LOVE YOU. Think about how LUCKY you are today that you can sdo that and go DO it!! Right now. Before you can forget. Hold them close and squeeze them tightly if you can - because you can, for all those that cannot. If this site had a flag ... it would be at half-mast - no matter the nationality. May you all have peace and a long life, and know you are cared for and loved.

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 02:49:47 GMT http://www.ooakguild.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=42 Sadly a very sweet and dear artist, Linda Lehr, lost her long and fierce battle with cancer on March 3rd. For anyone that talked with her, met her or saw her work - I think she touched something very deep and wonderful in them all. She had an inner strength and peace, about her and she had a bit oif the sage about her as well. Always ready to laugh - to see the good and the positive, she could cut through the BS in life and get right to the quick and find what *really* mattered and in the kindest way that allowed you to really learn from what she would point out. That is a rare and beautiful thing. Her art was a joy to see and it was a blast to watch her create and teach. She was a hoot and just so approachable and down to earth and always ready with a word of encouragement and a pat on the back. She will be deeply missed by all of us I think, but she is at least free of pain and able to dance and I bet she is sculpting her heart out to boot. You can see her work here: www.LindaLehr.com Please take a moment of silence in her honor, and then go live life with gusto - hug those you love, TELL them you love them, and celebrate life in the here and now.
