Mornin' all... Home sick today, so a rare chance to watch shows like Good Morning America. It just so happens there's a feature on growing food in vacant lots to be made available for free to the community. High school kids turning idle land into food for the needy...awesome. The host walks over and speaks to "Founder Taja Sevelle" and my head perks up even more...and I'm thinking 'THAT Taja Sevelle? (how many Taja Sevelles can there be??)'

My teenage self had a crazy crush on her, but I hadn't seen an image of her in ages and hadn't kept up with her. Now I'm googling up a storm, lol

She still looks great ...and could be just the motivation I need to get my organization involved in this excellent project. kudos Taja..

Anyone know if our dude Mr. Love4OneAnother has gotten involved yet?

Wow...I see I'm way behind the loop on this now
Must not have been coming to the org enough!

Actually, I think he has, in one way or another. I seem to have a vague recollection of Taja mentioning something to that effect, during a Q&A about her foundation a few years ago.

yes.

wonderful organization. I didn't know Taja started it.

the show prince did at hotel gansevoort in NYC last fall was a benefit for urban farming.

oh yeah, i remember that...

Awesome Program. Cities should do the same with the vacant central cities as it helps children to "Make Place" - take root and be show stability.

yeah, his NYC show was for Urban Farming for her. But it as (as Anxiety knows) actually TWO shows. For one Prince scrapped the are celebrities for big bucks ($1K or so for a ticket)... and did an "early" show. For the midnight show he took the rest of us for $300 (or was it $312.1?) ... but then, the room had 200 people or so and it went on for almost 3 hours.
