PLC in Social Cause Diet (Book)

August 10, 2008 by Jeremy · Leave a Comment 

41y8pbkxn1l_ss500_.jpgAuthor Gail Perry Johnston is concerned that in our country, where hundreds and hundreds of diet books are produce each year, we continue to grow increasingly gluttonous. Her contention is that most diet books have one major flaw: they are still all about food and the dieter.

This book is about as far away from that M.O. as is imaginable. Her new book, The Social Cause Diet, is all about getting the attention off ourselves and onto to helping others. She maintains that “volunteering is good for your health.” On the menu is an entry by PLC’s very own Cody Fisher.

Check out The Social Cause Diet on Amazon - or just visit our Preemptive Love page to see how you can volunteer with PLC and improve your health!

Preemptive Love Art Exhibition.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned out here, it’s this: Always love. It doesn’t matter what it looks like or how it appears to those around you…just love. Maybe that’s because I’ve been exposed to so much hate here and I’ve grown to learn where that leads us as people. I say “us” because it’s in all of us. It’s not confined to Baghdad or terrorists or anybody else we label as a “bad guy.” We’re all affected by it. Another thing we have in common is the ability to love. Love isn’t contained in a building or in the “good guys” either. If you’re breathing…you can love.

Artists here in Northern Iraq recently pulled together to do exactly that. On top of all being able to breath, they are all extremely talented at creating art. Over thirty artists created and donated art to be displayed in Zamwa Gallery to show their support and advocacy on behalf of the children of Kurdistan. Instead of just being hung on a wall, their art is driving out complacency and hate and ushering in love.

When I first arrived here there were around 700 registered children with heart disease. Being registered isn’t a bad thing unless you’re lost in a list of 700 names waiting your turn to be send abroad for urgent surgery. Waiting in line isn’t a bad thing unless your heart needs to be treated immediately in order to survive. Just a few weeks ago we found out that the list of 700 kids has grown to a list of over 2,800.

If I’m completely honest then I’ll tell you that this is way too big for me. It’s way to big for you. It’s too big for an artist and even a doctor. But…if we’re still being honest, then I’ll tell you that all of us together CAN create change. We CAN help raise awareness. We CAN be a voice for these children. We CAN love. By “we” I mean painters, bloggers, doctors, writers, singers, students, business men, street sweepers, and anybody else that can breath.

So love. It may manifest itself in a piece of art, be shouted from a soap box or go completely unnoticed. It’s up to you. Just love.

All of the art from the gallery along with some of Buy Shoes. Save Lives.’ photography has been compiled into a book that can be purchased on our on-line store. Get one before they run out! All of the proceeds go to help fund heart surgeries. It’s simple.
