Would you like to contribute to the A Life’s Work blog? Maybe write something about your life’s work? Or contribute some photos? Or conduct an interview with someone you think is doing something they won’t finish in his or her lifetime. Or maybe you have a haiku, sonnet, or cinquain (or the form of your choice) on the theme you’d like to share, or a drawing or painting or a song? Maybe you visited Arcosanti, or the Allen Telescope Array, or an old growth forest? Maybe you attended an amazing gospel concert? Perhaps you took some photos of Sagrada Familia or shot video of your friend walking across a vine bridge? Maybe it’s just an impression you’d like to share when you were in a cathedral or the desert or in a hot air balloon. Maybe a quote. Why not share it?
Just deal with the blog’s themes: legacy, continuity, work one devotes one’s life to, mentorship, stewardship, a sense of connection to something larger than yourself. It’s pretty broad. I want to see what you have to say about these things and I want to publish it here on this blog! Have an idea but don’t know how to proceed? Share it with me and maybe I can help you out.
I ‘ll pay you in an origami animal and you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing your work is online for as long as online exists. I’ll link to your website, blog, Tumblr, etc., and you know I’ll promote the heck out of it.
Just leave me a comment or shoot me an email and we’ll make it happen. I look forward to seeing what you got. And please feel free to spread the word.

I ‘m sure I have some words in some form…
David Licata
M.E.!
Send your words in any form. And if you have an image you’d like to accompany those words, send that, too. If not I will find something.
I look forward to it. Send it to my gmail address and then I’ll post it and tell the entire internet.
And thanks,
David
Yvonne Delet
Talk about my tv show versus writing plays/screenplays and how to do both or do the show and decide how to not stop writing plays, screenplays and even a book I have outlined. Obviously I have pics/videos and have much to say about being an edgy ‘woman of comedy’ and ‘dark humor’ on stage and in my work.
David Licata
Yes! Looking forward to reading (and seeing) what you come up with, Yvonne.
Kate HC
I’d like to write something, David!
David Licata
Kate, I would like that very, very much. Let’s communicate via regular email.
Thanks,
D.
