Let the spooning begin!

A while back Melissa at shakesville developed this lovely concept. The first time I read it, it truly hit home. I've come to say it to myself as a sort of mantra. First, I'd like to thank liss for finding the words for those moments so many of us have. Second, for creating this lovely club of people, whether I know you or not, who are out there wielding your teaspoon. I have learned from you and am inspired by you!
So here's to Liss' teaspoon and Faith's handmade contribution.:



Because,
When i feel like I cannot possibly do enough for all the issues i care about, when it feels like there's not enough time in my day to make the changes i want to, when I need to be reminded how every little effort counts, I am tangibly reminded that there are others out there bailing us out. They shouldn't have to do it alone!

h/t to ottermatic for getting the ball rolling!


Oh and as a p.s. jason over at darkwave tattoos is current working on a piece for me based on this concept (update to follow!) Thanks rockstar.

Are you seriously going to get a teaspoon tattoo? That's the hottest thing I think I've ever heard.

I am so irrationally excited about the teaspoon tattoo. I may even steal the idea. (Don't worry, that means I won't get around to it for at least two years.)

STEAL AWAY!!! My tattoo guy is doing it as an original piece, drawing it right on my body. One of his first questions was "what does your spoon look like?"

deep huh? :)
