Favorites - Stars in our eyes
Now and then during our travels through CyberSpace, we come upon pages, issues, and publications that inspire us, educate us, or entertain us. We've decided to start sharing these pages with you.
Sun Magazine
Sun Magazine is a beautifully produced, ad-free literary magazine that promotes new and published authors of essay, poetry, prose and interviews as well as featuring photography and art. It was founded in 1974 and has a web presence that includes samples of what's in the current print edition. It is available by subscription and currently offers a no-obligation one month free trial. This is a classy production chock full of inspiring beautiful writing and art. We highly recommend it.
Betty Lavette
Betty Lavette has been hailed as one of the world's greatest jazz and soul performers. Her recent CD, A Woman Like Me, is one of our collective favorites. Recently, she released "I've Got My Own Hell To Raise". There are sample tracks, links to purchase her CDs, reviews, photographs, and a whole world of Betty Lavette related information available on her website. Once you hear her sing, you'll never forget her.
Riddle's Wildlife and Elephant Sanctuary
The mission of the Riddle's Wildlife and Elephant Sanctuary is to provide sanctuary for elephants who need it. But this is no ordinary wildlife sanctuary! They offer the opportunity to adopt an elephant - a program that helps support the sanctuary in their work while giving you the satisfaction of choosing an individual elephant, whose care you will contribute to on a three month, six month, or yearly basis. They also feature a 'Elephant Experience' weekend that gives you a real, hands on experience with bathing, feeding, and caring for the beautiful, gentle creatures.
