Yesterday I received this fab collection of greeting cards, envelopes and bookmarks from an organization called IMFPA.

The professional quality paintings which are reproduced on these merchandise are painted by the artists affiliated with IMFPA.

And without exception, every one of these artists (HOLD YOUR BREATH) has lost the use of his/her hands!!

Yes, these artists have either no hands, or have lost the use of their hands. These artworks are painted by holding the brushes in their mouths/toes.

Along with the merchandise was a brief bio of each artist. Some of them were born without hands, some lost their hands in accidents, while some lost them to diseases. But one strong common point is everyone of them is gritty and determined to make a living WITHOUT CHARITY!

That's what IMFPA is helping them to do, to earn their livelihood with dignity.

You can know more about this organization from their website:

I do not get any compensation by telling you about the IMFPA. But I shared this as a token of gratitude for what these foot-and-mouth artists, as they are called, made me realize.

I realized how privileged we are and how we sometime abuse those privileges by taking things for granted.

And there are no excuses (or limits) for creativity!
