Sunshine
I'm feeling sad today, and it has to do with Sunshine, a teenage girl in Iraq whom I interviewed for flip.com last year (that's a photo that she sent me of flowers from her garden). She's smart, funny, kind and ambitious. Here's the flipbook that came out of our interview -- it has a lot about her life in Iraq, her dreams and fears, and the universal aspects of being 15.
This week, she posted a very sad, fearful entry about what's going on in her community now, and it breaks my heart. If you guys want to visit her blog and leave some thoughts of hope, I think it would be a great comfort, especially those of you near her age.
And hug your families tight. Happy Sunday.

Gosh that is really sad. =[ A terrorist escaped in my country a month ago and is still on the loose. Everyone here is looking for him, well most people. :/ It's really sad. I read her entry and I feel really sorry for her. I think I'm going to get her her own .com website when her book is published and out! Sure it's gonna cost me like $8 but it's worth it. =] Ssh don't tell her yet unless she happens to see this. =P
Sunshine is such a talented blogger and I'm sure she'll succeed in life. =) Her blog enteries even date back to 2005! I can't keep a blog for more than a year tsk tsk.
I've recently made a new site which will be open soon. =) It'll be full of graphics and layouts for MySpace. If you want to know the address, its in my name. I'll be opening it pretty soon. I'll keep you inform, if you want any layouts for MySpace. ;)
