Positive reinforcement to eat well :: make media.

Documenting and sharing the process of being good to myself by means of sustenance helps me feel less isolated.

What do YOU do to counteract isolation?

What do YOU do to help yourself eat?

My reward is art & the hope that this sharing inspires someone else in the moment who might not otherwise eat a good meal.

When folks post what they're having to eat on Twitter I'm reminded that food must be taken.

Documenting a healing strategy that works for me.

A strategy made possible by 0's and 1's and ubiquitous media making tools and communications software.

I need the reinforcement in the moment - not in four hours when I'm famished & too depleted to cook - and manage in this way to get it.

Twitter reminds me to eat.

Documenting the process and inspiring others to be good to themselves are the rewards.

The Clothesline Project

A .pdf of The Clothesline Project's brochure is enclosed with this post.

From The Clothesline Project Site:

The Clothesline Project (CLP) is a program started on Cape Cod, MA, in 1990 to address the issue of violence against women. It is a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women.

For more information, drop a line to our National Contact Person:

Admire this effort for so many reasons:

Art.
Emotion.
Truth.
Community.
Testimony.
Witness.
Marketing.

I've added this project as a 'Resource' to the sidebar. A great example of the creative ways in which we end the silence.
