Hardluck Studios Soap Box

Welcome to the Hardluck Studios Soap Box (hosted by Hardluck Studios Fine Art) where you can have your say about the crazy state of affairs our world is in today. Politics, Climate Change, Economics, International Tensions (to name a few) are on the minds of all of us. All we need do is turn on the evening news to feel exasperated at how our leaders are "handling" these issues. In fact, that's what inspired us to create this blog. Every night when we're listening to the bad news of the day, we find ourselves offering up solutions to "our leaders" and feeling a growing need to have our voices heard by them. Maybe ours aren't the perfect solutions for every situation, but aren't all options worth considering when issues with such grave consequences  for your actions as we face today are at stake?  If you find yourself feeling this way, too, feel free to suggest a topic or  post a comment. Hardluck Studios believes in equality and freedom for all, so please - no comments that infringe upon the rights of others.
"It's not that it's all bad luck. It's just plain hard luck."

Kudos to 1 million meals

Comment on this



One comment we find ourselves making on an almost daily basis at the Hardluck House is that we will only change the world by changing ourselves. If the planet and its people are to be saved it will be through the compassion, innovations, and just plain hard work of individuals and not by any government. And then we chastise ourselves for not doing more. I just want to take the time here to recognize an individual who is stepping up to make a difference in the lives of strangers. He is Jeffrey Strains, and he has organized an online campaign to turn a penny that he found on the sidewalk into 1 million dollars for our nation's hungry food banks. Jeffrey is calling for artists' assistance by donating a piece of artwork, integrated with a penny purchased from the ten dollar donation he received for the original penny. The artwork will then be sold with funds going to purchase food for empty food banks nation wide.

Thank you, Jeffrey, for your kindness, ingenuity, and just plain hard work to make this happen.
You can find Jeffrey and his 1 million meals project at:

Grateful for Abundance
