What do you do, when your hands and feet seem useless?
What do you say, when your words seem hollow and meaningless?
I’m not sure, but after lkmadigan posted her hard news, I feel certain that many of us are asking ourselves these same questions.
So…we’re hatching a plan!
Lisa loves photography, as evidenced by her award-winning novel, FLASH BURNOUT. Moreover, she’s forever encouraging us to view the world through different lenses. So it seems somehow fitting that we compile an album of her friends’ photographs–pictures that symbolize all the ways our lives have been touched by Lisa. And of course, there will be room for your quotations, musings, poems, and illustrations.
Would you like to contribute? Please be thinking about this over the weekend! I’ll post the particulars as soon as I can, and will ask you to cross-post them to Facebook, Twitter, etc. Lisa’s influence is far-reaching, so we’ll want this project to reflect a wider audience.
Back in a flash–or as soon as we’ve got the details finalized!
xoxo
UPDATE: Here’s the link to the project details and (short) timeline:

Please feel free to cross-post it via your blog, Facebook page, or Twitter. But don’t combine Lisa’s name with the @ symbol…we’d like this to be a surprise, and don’t want it to end up on her FB/Twitter page. 🙂
YES! This is AWESOME!!! I’m in! And whatever I can do to help, feel free to ask!
Thanks, Brian!!

That’s a lovely idea — I’m in 🙂
YAY! You’ve got so many lovely photos to choose from. (See comment about cross-posting, above.)
Thank you! I hoped someone would come up with a plan. Please count me in.
I’m so glad you’ll be contributing, Tracy. It’s the least we can do…and though it’s a small gesture, I hope she finds it meaningful.
Oh I am so glad there’s something I can do for her!! I am so in.
Excellent!! Be thinking of what you might want to contribute…we’ll work quickly, once the official word is out.

I’m in as well – rather inept with a camera, but hey – it’s for Lisa!
YAY!! There’s room, I’m sure, for written contributions, too. But photography seems very intimate to our experiences with Lisa. 🙂
I would love to be a part of this if it’s okay.
Yes, of course! Everyone’s contributions are welcome! More information to follow soon…
A beautiful idea. Count me in, too.
I’m glad to add you to the list! Lisa may not be able to respond to each of us personally, but I feel certain she’ll be blessed by this outpouring of affection.

Wonderful idea! And count me in…though I’m not much of a photographer.
YAY! I know she’ll treasure your contribution, whatever it might be. xo
Will we be able to contribute meaningfully if we’ve never met her or really talked to her but only know her through her words? I hope so! I want to be a part of this.
Absolutely! It’ll be a big ol’ Book of Love for Lisa, however our contributors choose to express it.

I’m a terrible photographer, but I’m in! Thanks Melodye. I’m still in shock about the news.
It’s the thought that counts, of course, but I suspect you’ll find a wonderful way to demonstrate your love & support for Lisa.
((Hugs)) I’m still reeling from the news myself. xoxo
