I am excited to post this video Maria and I (and Fate) made this morning in the living room (the studio is unreachable in the snow). Her “Show Your Soul” posters have struck a deep nerve, many people – women especially – seem to grasp the idea intuitively. It was sparked by something Clarissa Pinkola Estes wrote, that in difficult times, we must “show our souls,” be who we really are, find our voice. Again and again.

This inspired a quilt, then the posters. Before she went to India, Maria was flooded with requests from women who wanted to take them on the Women’s March. She promised to have them printed and offered for sale when she got back, and she has done that, they went on sale the other day and the first printing is sold out.  She has the second printing in hand.

As a man, I am touched by these posters as well. This is my practice, rather than arguing or panicking or complaining – to do good as often as I can, without drama or rationalization.

Come and see. Fate, who minds everyone’s business around her, actively participated in the video. The posters cost $16, including shipping, and Maria takes Paypal and checks.

These You Tube videos we are doing have been very successful, drawing at least 1,000 views, drawing existing and new people to Maria’s work. On the video, you can see the posters, learn what inspired the idea and hear Maria explain it herself. Pretty neat. Come and see.
