4/27/14 -- Note from Lucy on the 2014 120 Hours Project (click to see what people did):
Thank you all who participated in the 120 Hours Project! 
I am very inspired by all those who are seeking to make their communities kinder and more loving.  There is nothing better to do in life than to connect to the greater good.
I love you all,
Lucy

10/26/13 -- Note from Lucy about Feel the Love pledges:

My darling friends!  Thank-you for your many kindnesses in paying forward.  No matter what you have chosen to gift the world this year, I am so honoured to be associated with you.  We are not here long so let's try to leave the planet a little better off for our having been here.
Love and light to you always,
Lucy

5/18/13 -- Bids for Kids press release note from Lucy:
“I am incredibly fortunate to have an amazing fan base around the globe many of whom willingly support causes I am passionate about.  Although of course I’ve got my own voice on my answering machine, if I can offer that to someone else and it generates much needed funds for Starship Children’s Hospital then I’d be thrilled!” Lucy says.

4/1/13 -- (note from Lucy on 120 Hours project:
Dear friends, our job on this planet is to make our children's physical and social environment safer. Thank-you all for giving your time to enrich your own communities. I love that my fans don't care about lipstick. We ain't perfect but we try to do the right thing always. 
I am proud of you all!
Lucy

1/8/13 --
After hurling ourselves off the rigging of the Tucker Thompson, into the cool clear waters of Matauri, I hitched a ride over to the Rainbow Warrior III.  Very exciting to be back on board with some of the original crew of the RW I, which was bombed by the French Govt in 1985.  The ceremony took place at the resting place of the original ship.  A very moving ceremony hosted by the Greenpeace crew and the Ngati Kura, who put everyone up at the marae.
Looking forward to seeing you all in LA!

Lucy

12/10/12 --
My dear friends,

I have read thru each and every Feel the Love pledge and I am so grateful for your continued generosity.  From donating blood, to blankets, clean water awareness and Starship support, I want you to know how wonderful it is to be part of your movement to spread more joy.  You are absolutely the best fans in the world.  Ren and I are so lucky.

I am looking forward to seeing you again in Jan!

In other silly news, Sharon has inspired me to take tap-dancing lessons and I intend to video the whole sorry saga.  Just 30 second vids which I'll tweet, if I can figure out how.  It's going to be daft and a bit embarrassing.  You're going to love it.

Hooray for everything!

This stunning aqua blue horse has been painted by Lucy Lawless in support of Starship Children's Hospital.  Aptly named 'Argo' after Xena's horse, Lucy was inspired by the ancient Egyptian faience sculptures of the waterhorse or hippo, most fearsome of all African animals.
A message from Ms Lawless:
"I was intrigued by the idea of a 'water-horse'.  It is a very serene piece and would look good in a garden setting or close to water.
It made me feel good to have it around and I wrote words up the legs which seem to me, the components of joy."

'Kiwi Ranger' is coming to Tiritiri Matangi Island, with the help of Lucy Lawless.  Eco-warrior Lucy Lawless and her family will be heading for Tiritiri Matangi Island on Saturday June 1 to help launch the Island’s Kiwi Ranger programme.  This Saturday Lucy and her family are headed to Tiritiri Matangi Island to help launch the Island's Kiwi Ranger program developed by the NZ Department of Conservation to give youngsters a better appreciation of conservation issues.  This should be exciting, informative and competitive! Lucy will complete a series of activities such as coming face-to-face with an extinct bird, working out what could be tough enough to make holes in iron-hard puriri timber and hearing a masked bird sing like an organ! That's how you get your Ranger badge.



Then on June 7 she'll be attending the Q fundraising gala and be part of an auction for a dinner with herself and Michael Hurst.  Q is a theatre, a community that connects performing arts and creative industries.

"Thank you for visiting my auction and for caring about the causes I'm passionate about.  By offering this answer phone recording to one of you, I hope to raise as much money as possible for Starship Children's Hospital.  Will you please bid generously on this?  I care deeply about our precious Starship kids. Love, Lucy xx"

3/24/13 -- We're up to 251 hours in the 120 Hours Project!!!!!!  I'm gathering the photos to put together into a mini-movie when the project is done to send to Lucy along with the list.  Yes, you can do more than one project.  Yes, Earth Hour counts.  How high can we go in this last week?  Go ahead, surprise me  <G>

Lucy's episode of Top of the Lake airs on the Sundance channel in the US on Monday, April 1!


3/16/13 -- 120 Hours project now up to 203 1/2.  We've added some teaching, lawyering and helping neighbors.  Keep the notes coming!  We're almost at double the 120 hours!  Thanks :)


3/13/13 -- Up to 189 hours!  We're taking care of young people, senior citizens, pups, family.  Cleaning our neighborhoods and rivers and recycling.  Helping people cope in the bad weather that's all over the planet!  Climate change anyone?  Awesome!  Keep 'em coming.  We're only halfway through the month.


3/12/13 -- My goodness you guys are good!  We've already hit 129 1/2 hours in the 120 Hours Project.  What do you think? 
Can we double it?  And, yes, you can do more than one project.

3/10/13 -- The 120 Hours project has begun!  Cool things people are doing and messages coming in from all over the world!  Check out the website to see what folks are doing. 

3/9/13 -- Made a list at the top of all the things people have been asking and added a Twitter aspect to the project!  Tomorrow I'll start listing the hours done so far as well as uploading the webpage with your messages and what you're doing.

As for the note about taking a photo of yourself doing your project, for those who have already written me, I'll be sending you a note asking if you can go back and take a picture of yourself at your project.  I thought I'd make a movie of all the photos submitted for the website.  I think Lucy will get a real kick out of that.

3/8/13 -- The "120 Hours" messages are starting to come in!  I'll start the tally going this weekend.

3/6/13 -- UPDATE 3: No, each person is not supposed to do 120 hours!  Each person does however many hours they can this month and we total all our hours up together to see if we can hit 120.


3/5/13
-- "120 Hours" UPDATE 2:  The project is to do the community service this month between March 1 - 31 to be part of the tally.

3/4/13 -- "120 Hours" UPDATE: There's a bit of confusion about what we're doing this year compared to previous years.  You need to do something specific during the month of March. 
Here's an example:
Sharon -- California, USA -- I volunteered at the Burbank Animal Shelter -- March 3 -- 2 hours

3/2/13 -- It's Lucy's birthday month, March 29!  I came up with "120 Hours" as a way for fans to participate in the festivities and help her celebrate her special day.  Lucy thought it was a really cool idea.  Check out the note at the top of the page.

2/27/13 -- In the acting world, there are heaps of "maybes" and very few "definites."  When I know something for certain, I'll post it on Lucy's website, tweet it @sharondel and facebook it at sharon.delaney.  This applies to the possibility Lucy might do the play Chicago in New Zealand.


Strike -- An Exhibition of Matchbox Art for Amnesty International
Keeping it green, kiwi actress Lucy Lawless used a plant that survives on humid air to customise her matchbox.  Strike is an auction of Matchbox Art created by various artists, designers, musicians and more, especially for Amnesty International and featuring tiny art measuring just 5cm x 7cm created on Beehive Matchboxes.  All money raised from this sale will help fund Amnesty International’s work to protect the human all over the world.



2/2/13 --
We Did It For The Future -- Lucy Lawless

It's almost a year since we climbed the Shell-contracted drilling rig, Noble Discoverer.  Landing on the pier that day we felt dwarfed by the vast 53 meter drill tower that sat atop this rusting hulk which Shell was to use to pioneer their drilling programme in the Arctic.  Insignificant as we were we felt something had to be done – a light had to be shone on Shell’s insane plans to drill for oil in the icy Arctic wilderness.  Not in my wildest dreams did I think we would succeed as we did remaining atop the drill tower for over 77 hours.

"I am thrilled to have been painted by the great, Dave Mack.  He did a few studies of me just for the hell of it.  I told him all I really wanted to be was a cowboy and he made me look like a total fox!! . . . in a Brokeback Mountain sort of way."
