Bringing Love to the World

My customer's husband was turning 60. He writes, composes music and plays the piano and guitar, she told me. He has written albums, including one for the "Loving Classroom" school program. Loving Classroom is an organisation that trains teachers to cultivate respect, compassion, listening, kindness, gratitude, love, friendship and care in the classroom. Lastly, she wrote, he loves the Almighty and is connected to his Oneness.

Loving Classroom is definitely his main thing, my customer told me, so I showed her husband wearing the program's T-shirt. He is holding a book about the program and there is a piano in the background and music notes dotted about. A big number 60 marks his age.

I added the Loving Classroom logo, bottom left, which illustrates the 4-H methodology: H umanity, H ead, H eart and H and. My customer felt it was important to include it. The blue logo on the right says עולם אוהב - Loving World. Her husband has a great belief in building a loving world for both personal and global well-being. Finally, the word אחד, below the 60, literally means one but in the context of this card it refers to G-d or Hashem.

My customer was delighted with the card. "It is absolutely BRILLIANT, Lisa. You are a genius craftswoman." she wrote to me. "I love it. Thank you!"
