10/20/11 -- Lucy's come out of the depths of Roman decadence and what should greet her eyes, but the Feel the Love Week pledge list. She'd loved it! And her note of thanks is above.
I want to add a special thanks to Rebecca Reilly, the fan who came up with the idea six years ago. I thought she'd drifted away as I didn't see her pledge for the past couple years until I noticed a similarity between her email and another Rebecca. Turns out it was our Rebecca still with us. So thanks again for such a great idea. The fans love it and it really brightens up Lucy's life as well. Good on ya!
10/16/11 -- The person to whom organized sports is the equivalent of eating brussels sprouts has been hooked by the Rugby World Cup! Yes, that's a photo above of Lucy sitting in the stands watching the All Blacks play the Wallabies.
10/12/11 -- Feel the Love pledges have all been typed into a wonderfully fun, imaginative and greater-good list and on its way down to Lucy. Thanks to you all :)
10/9/11 -- Feel the Love Week UPDATE 2
Okay, I've sent messages back to everyone who sent a pledge. If you didn't hear
back from me, please send it again. It's a great list of inventive,
heart-warming, generous things that fans are doing in the name of Lucy. I know
she's going to love reading it when I send the list down.
For any last minute people, read the posts here for the dates of 9/5 and
10/2.
"In honor of Lucy Lawless Feel the Love Day, I will (insert your intended
contribution), then put your name and location (city, state, country) as you
want it to appear on the pledge list."
The subject of the email should be Feel the Love Day.
Please email your pledges to lucylawlessfanclub@dslextreme.com
10/3/11 -- The second season of Spartacus is wrapping up and Lucy wanted to share her feelings for her cast and crew. Check her new message above. Can't wait until January so we can see what they've been up to. I'm sure there's heaps of physical havoc and emotional turmoil as well. That's what Spartacus excels in. If the first season and the prequel are anything to judge by, we're in for quite a ride come the new year!
10/2/11 -- Feel The Love Week UPDATE
During this past week, I began to get emails, from people who had participated in previous years, saying they were sorry they couldn’t join in this year. When I asked why, they said the economy was bad and they just didn’t have extra money to donate. When I mentioned that they’d done a good deed last time, why didn’t they just do that again, they said it looked like this year was more geared toward donations. Some newbies wrote as well saying they hoped they could participate in the future when the economy was better.
That surprised me as the Feel the Love Week has always been first and foremost about celebrating the Greater Good that Xena did running around ancient Greece and her alter ego Lucy does in our time. Eighty percent of the pledges I would receive were people helping their family, their friends, their neighbors, their community, their country and people around the world. Below are some of the deeds that were done in previous years.
Donations to all the worthy causes are wonderful if you can do it and are always greatly appreciated. But, in these times, sometimes what we can give is of ourselves, our time, our energy, our hearts.
The people I was writing to have asked if I could extend the date for sending in a pledge, so the new deadline is October 10.
Feel the Love Week is about spreading joy and reminding ourselves and others why we’re here – to share, to help, to love. To leave the world a little better because we were here.
