A Sara Hickman eNewsletter for October 15, 2008

Hello, friends!

Almost time for Halloween! Almost time to vote! Funny how those things are right next to one another...!

Say... I'm EXTREMELY thrilled to announce my first orchestrated show... my songs backed by the Teton Orchestra in Idaho Falls, Idaho! I thought it was cool the first time I heard one of my songs on Muzak, but this tops the cake! Kayak on over to Idaho and come join in the joy! There's complete info down there with the shows listing...

Now that the Music for Life Tour has ended, don't let the dialogue stop. Visit Start The Dialogue to keep the discussion going -- about the death penalty or any other subject. Let's talk about issues, life, and our world. http://startthedialogue.org

Alright! And now, a little poem:

Vote!
Because
It Really Does Matter.
Don't let the fat
Cats Get Any
Fatter.
We need leaders
of Humility
Who live to serve
Humanity.
The time is now
Don't let it be said
That we didn't speak out
To change how we wanted to be led.

In Grace and Gratitude and homemade banana bread,
Sara
