Chalk the Walk
“Chalk the Walk” is an event where people create art using chalk on sidewalks. Usually, it happens out in the towns and cities of America, at festivals or community events. But with social media, I figured we could just share whatever we created.
So, we took to the driveway! The boys and I drew pictures and wrote messages in chalk and then I photographed one for social media to share a positive message with my friends…see, this blog isn’t so different from what I was doing before.
Be brave, my friends!
