Contemplating the meaning of life |
This is the coolest project. It started off as an experiment
nearly two years ago in New Orleans by an artist who was contemplating the
meaning of life, deciphering what truly matters. And, she wanted to know what
mattered to others. So she painted the side of an abandoned building with
chalkboard paint, stenciled the words “Before I die I want to _________” and
invited the public to pick up a piece of chalk and jot down their personal
aspirations. Cool, right?
Now there’s a bunch all over the globe, 50+ walls in over 20
countries. There’s one in sunny San Diego and when I came upon it a couple of
weeks ago I felt compelled to write something. What did I write? “Before I die
I want to see a cure for MS.” Naturally.
Before I die I want to see a cure for MS |
If you came across this wall, what would you write? What
matters most to you? I’d love to hear from you and invite you to post on my
blog. Simply fill in the blank, “Before I die I want to ____________”.
Take care of yourselves and I hope all is well.
Best always,
Christie

Before I die I want to heal from the site reactions of my daily Copaxone shots.
ReplyDeleteI have craters in both arms and on both thighs. I, too, would love to see these heal (read, disappear) before I die! Best, Christie
DeleteBefore I die I want to help as many other women with MS as I can, and see the great wall of China! ;) Kim
ReplyDeleteI totally want to see the Great Wall of China too! Amazing stuff. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for your amazing website!
DeleteBefore I die .... I want to have done all in my power to raise awareness of MS
ReplyDeleteHey Catherine! Raising awareness is so important especially since MS can be so invisible! Thanks for stopping by! C.
DeleteI would wish for MS being gone too...I like that idea
ReplyDeleteMe too Kim. Hopefully this is something that completely disappears one day. Hope you're well. Best, Christie
DeleteBefore I die, I too pray to see a cure for MS and it to no longer affect my life.
