interesting stuff
I’ve been mining my facebook feed for interesting stuff that I want to share here, and this came up. I love the idea and I think I am going to try it as my New Years Resolution this year.
Wow… so freaking cool! I’d so love to go there and explore the whole place…. live there… create art there… begin my life all over again – start anew – there… as an artist. An alternate timeline. How different I would feel about myself and my life. Right?
That was so interesting!
