Kelly Rae Roberts, Artist, Author, Possibilitarian.
KELLY RAE ROBERTS is an author, blogger, artist and a prolific maker and teacher of extraordinary things. She also describes herself as a “possibilitarian,” a word we’d, frankly, like to see used more often. We’ve long followed her from afar, moved by her extraordinary spark, her passion, her sisterhood of creativity, but her latest endeavor really deserves a front-page mention.
You see, Kelly has put out the call for help for her sister-friend’s sister-friend, Megan. Megan has metastatic breast cancer, and her insurance company has denied coverage for treatment that will prolong and improve her quality of life. Kelly has asked her readers to chip in, and they have–in two days, more than 200 visitors to her blog have donated.
Rock on, Kelly. Megan is lucky to have a sister like you. As Kelly wrote on her blog when she put out this call for help, “i really believe in the interconnectedness of our community. i feel it. i admire it. and i deeply believe in our collective power and hope to change people lives.” Amen.
You can read more about Megan and her cancer journey here. For more about Kelly, you can visit her blog, of course, but we also really loved this profile of her and her studio over on Modish.

First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: 
As the suffix of its name suggests, 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.
