It’s Wednesday…time to spread the luvvv. Sprinklin’ good mojo one arty token at a time.
TaDaaaa…it’s RANDOM ACTS OF ART!!!
Good times. Good times.
And time for me to make some new arty tokens. Found I was almost out when I reached in my pocket this afternoon. Oh nooooooo! Deep pockets, lots of stuff. A couple of small flashlights. Neither one works. A little bottle of Rescue Remedy spay. Never know when you’re going to need that. Some paper towels because I ran out of tissues long ago. And hay. Lots of little bitty hay things.
And three heART rocks. Only three. So I had to think carefully where they could do the most good.
I hopped in the car and found myself heading to the other side of town. Actually, another town entirely. I got to thinking a good place for one of the heart rocks would be Mama’s cardiologist’s office. Really. Heart rock for someone seeing the heart doc.
Having been there with her many times I knew there was little chance I could sneak into the waiting room and hide the rock much less photograph it. Not without at least ten old people watching my every move. And the receptionist…no way I could get past that woman. Open the door and she’s got her hand out for the insurance card. Just doin’ her job, just doin’ her job…
So no, his office wasn’t a good idea. But the atrium of the medical building was. There it is, about knee height. Just waiting for someone who needs something to smile about after leaving the doctor’s office. Blind as she was, Mama would’ve noticed something like that and swooped it up as fast as…as a ninety-something year old could swoop.
Which isn’t very fast, really.
The medical building is near the hospital. Figured that would be a good place for a drop. People in the hospital need cheering up, right? So I made that my next stop. There wasn’t any parking down the hill at the ER so I went in the main door. Through the lobby.
But first I needed a tissue. It was raining. My nose was running. I couldn’t just reach in my pocket and pull out a paper towel and shake the chaff onto the floor. Not in the hospital lobby. The idea was to leave ART, not hay. So I went to the ladies’ room. And that’s where the perfect opportunity jumped out at me.
Right there on top of the paper towels. Everyone washing their hands will see it. But I hope it stays there until someone who needs it takes it. Along with one of those cards. Maybe it will encourage them to get out of a bad situation. Who knows….
After the hospital I decided to head downtown. Told myself if there was an easy parking spot I’d wander around looking for another drop spot. Lo and behold, the universe heard me! Easy-peasy. TWO parking spaces in a row. Doesn’t get any better than that when it’s parallel parking on a hill.
It was meant to be.
So I parked. When I went to feed the meter I realized the car behind me had run out of time. So I fed that meter too. And left a calling card rock. Double luvvv. Then I wandered into my original target, the little indy bookstore up the hill. Where I spent a most pleasant hour.
Uh-oh…See that yellow notice on the meter? Where it says ‘No Feeding’. I just read it now. Honest, officer. No ‘feeding’. Here I thought I was being a good citizen and it turns out I’m a law breaker. A parking felon.
Well, we’ll just let the karma fairy be the judge of that!

In the beginning I just wanted to hide them anywhere, Jennifer. Now I’m discovering the satisfaction of finding just the right place. Which makes it a little bit harder but more satisfying.
I love it! I’ve heard parking karma can be a b**ch. LOL
But…but… I’m working on cultivating the GOOD parking karma fairy, Karen! : )
