If you're someone who has followed Misty's Story; met Darren along the way; has been going through illness and are discouraged; or are a friend, family member, or caregiver of someone who is sick, stop by and see if we have something that may ease your burden. This is why we exist.<br /><br />We've got lots of great things for you; some free, some not, but all cool. I don't want to spoil too much before the unveiling, but I'm sure you'll want to come back for more (because we'll be churning out the resources regularly).<br /><br />Here's a preview: funny, touching, surprising, unique, accessible, catchy, and on sale.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.anthemofhope.com/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3579/3397527694_bb000e0430.jpg?v=0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I'm bound by law to say no more.<br /><br />On April 1st, please visit anthemofhope.com. Until then, you can join our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Anthem-of-Hope/47053847110?ref=ts">Facebook group</a> or follow us on <a href="http://twitter.com/theanthem">Twitter</a> for updates.<br /><br />Thank you EVERYONE who has helped us get this project off the ground. It really is a team effort, and every person who has helped is indispensable. From the whole team, we love you.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/922903809874324086-2146534008877774141?l=pocketfulofashes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14421347835967415684noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-922903809874324086.post-44146836353799313842009-03-25T16:13:00.000-07:002009-03-25T16:44:59.989-07:00I love everything about this. From being produced by Tom Hanks, to being co-written by Dave Eggers (with Spike Jonze, whose film work is not nearly as expansive as his unique direction in music videos), to the song "Wake Up" by The Arcade Fire... I'm excited.<br /><br />See it if only you need refreshing of the imagination. Or if you read it as a kid. Or if you're wondering if Max Records (who plays Max, the little boy sent to bed without his supper) is as amazing as he looks to be.<br /><br />And if it sucks.... well, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the magic of editing.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01-PqqifyjA">Where the Wild Things Are</a> <br /><br />Will you see it?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/922903809874324086-4414683635379931384?l=pocketfulofashes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14421347835967415684noreply@blogger.com0
