Awesome Foundation Grant (!)

"Put Awesome on your calendar for July," began the congratulatory email.......I have been awarded a $500 grant by the Awesome Foundation to install love notes in each of San Francisco's 26 zipcodes. You must know I'm now falling asleep dreaming of these upcoming renegade activities all over this city I love. Suggestions for sign locations? Interested in sharing your favorite haunts in a neighborhood? Hit me up. This is going to be one fun gig!

My Proposal to the Awesome Foundation:I will paint and hang love notes in each of the 26 San Francisco zip codes, geotagging the locations to the love note map at LoveYou2.org.What started as a fun love note for my kids has turned into a passion for finding, documenting, installing and sharing love notes. At www.LoveYou2.org I post about my adventures documenting signs of love, installing public art love notes, and reflecting on life’s loves. Guests are invited to share their "get love. give love." stories finding or sharing a love note. LoveYou2.org has become a hub for the exchange of love in its many forms; a place to practice, to be inspired, to share, a place to get love when you need some and give love when you have it.To date, I’ve post more than 2,000 i love you, too fliers, created several hundred public displays of affection or street art love note signs, a deeper expression of my get love. give love. concept. LoveYou2.org has received hundreds of comments and guest submissions about readers’ own experiences finding and sharing love notes.Watch this 2-minute mini documentary for scenes from one night of renegade street art love note installing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry3xkuNSchEI found my heart in San Francisco; there is an ever-growing map of San Francisco in my mind, comprised of locations embedded with people and experiences coupled with awe.
