I imagine some people will think I´m cuckoo but I don´t mind, we all have freedom of thought, right? So I will tell you what I think:
Sam died young, however we have to think what a joyful life she lived and what amazing memories she has left people with. I´m so sure that so many people could write up on this blog enchanting memories. However one of the best gifts she could have taught those that knew her and she has left it behind for us to continue teaching people is: HOW TO ENJOY LIFE.
I seriously think that Sam was a visionairy: she had insight, an eye for talent, sadly her own talents went unnoticed, well no she did get noticed, but I mean she could have done so many creative things. Cause she had plenty of talents. Her biggest talent was she was an IDEA GIVER a FREE IDEA CONSULTANT. She gave out her ideas, her suggestions, her thoughts and opinions to loads of people who then made use of them beneficially. To models, designers, photographers, directors, magazines.
Sam loved to cook, to travel, to have fun, to party, to work, to relax, to make her collage books, to organize social gatherings, to bring people together....She loved life.
So I truly hope that some how eventually I will succeed in spreading the "Sam says: Enjoy life" bug, making it so contagious that this epidemic will take over from the Hello Kitty world and turn this world into a better place: The Sam´s world of enjoying life.
The Sam´s world of enjoying life will make money to help underprivileged children to have a better chance in life.
I have had the idea of keeping Sam´s spirit alive and positively active for a good many years now, Procrastination and Determination are my middle names, so I know I´ll get there in the end.
Here are a couple of the drawings for the 2011 calendar that my good friend Benjami Tous created for the project.
