An S.O.S.: Calling Upon All Angels

Joy Matters*

*Passion & Compassion*

Seek out, seek in...always seeking, always on a journey to bridge the world within with the world around.

Knowing that so many are hurting and alone when there is no need.

If we could just pause long enough to turn the tide.

We are a force of nature because we are nature.

Even when the oil runs dry, the sun will still fuel us. All the panic takes us further away from our natural state, our connection to the creative force, and to the brilliant power of simply being alive.

Enjoy the ocean if you can and work toward it.

I aim to use my time to add to the creative rather than destructive forces vying for the Earth's resources.

I have found over a million Earth angels on the same mission: to create sustainable beauty out of life.

Let this be a prelude and not the exception.

I honor the lights of this great city as a power point for change, as the center of art, and as a vine of near-ripe revolutionaries.

Artists, women, good people of the Earth rising: rise some more.

*Revolution begins with personal evolution...

Bless & Be Blessed*

Sibel Yalin does very disappointing work. This is just a review so others do not get cheated like I did.

PSA: DO NOT WORK WITH OR TRUST THE WOMAN IN THE PICTURE BELOW. From personal experience, I do not recommend hiring Sibel Yalin. I gave her a job to create the base for one of my art pieces because I like supporting women as they begin their art careers. 1st she made a mistake with a basic calculation that cost me almost $500 extra dollars. After 2 weeks and helping her by sending her how-to videos and setting up a call for her with a highly successful artist as I saw she was doing a poor job. After all the effort I made I could not even use the pieces which not only wasted my money in having to pay for another person to start from scratch- the final image was to be for a potential investor for my anti-trafficking nonprofit-- and now with the delay from Sibel Yalin's sloppy work the potential investor is put off- understandably so. When I explained the chain of invents to Sibel Yalin she did not show any remorse or take any responsibility for what I observe as 'playing the victim role- as a helpless starving artist.' Guess what I was a starving artist when I started off also-- hence giving her a chance and still paying her after all the first round of mistakes she made but at this point working with her was so highly disappointing that I am taking the time to write this now in case any of my friends in NYC think of working with this woman -- I highly suggest so save yourself from the chance of getting ripped off big time. When I make a mistake I do not make excuses I make it right! Even with this woman whose art I am so late delivering because of this mess I made her a large piece of art and gifted to her for free-- without her having to ask-- I just did it because it is the right thing to do. I did not tell her about any of the mess above because it is not her problem it is mine-- I gave Sibel Yalin a chance and she made the choice to turn her back on me and leave me with an unusable product. I hope this saves anyone who sees this from making the same mistake. again-- as you know I have never called anyone out on Facebook but this woman's lack of integrity was truly unacceptable. — with Sibel Yalin.
