I never thought I would be touched by a short film about insects. The seventeen year life cycle of the cicada is pretty amazing. Watch this seven minute film to learn more.

Embrace the Shake

TED talk by artist Phil Hansen about his own limitation and how he embraced it. We can all overcome our own obstacles and limitations with perseverance and a positive attitude.

YOU can be a part of Phil Hansen's new project!

Phil Hansen's new art project will be about limitations. You can share your own story with Phil Hansen, and he will include it in his artwork! How cool is that?!

Here is an excerpt from a recent email:

I started on the art a couple days ago, woo! If you haven’t called me yet (651-321-4996) to share a story about a limitation in your life, I’d love to hear from you! (OR email, OR use form on philinthecircle.com if you’d like to be notified when your story is written.)

To This Day Project

What a wonderful project! I won't spoil it for you, watch for yourself. For more information, you can visit their website at tothisdayproject.com
