Getting Linked thru Leonard is easy. Here's how:
1. GET A LEONARD OF YOUR OWN. How about a canvas print to hang over your fireplace and chat with nightly? A sandstone coaster so he can sit at your bedside and hold your glass of water? Maybe you'd like to see Leonard on your car bumper, or to carry Leonard around in your pocket or on your backpack - he looks great as a key chain. Lots of options! see them now*
Order online, or visit the new home of JustJillToday and LEONARD -
The APP Space: a place for Art, Philosophy, and Practice (learn more) *Proceeds from LEONARD sales now go to support the launch of PHASE II of the project! |
MUGS & T-SHIRTS COMING FOR SUMMER 2017!

2. COMMIT to Talking to LEONARD AT LEAST once each week. You're not really connected if you're not communicating!
AND REMEMBER, it's less about you having this new cool friend to talk to (although that's good too), and more about pausing weekly to acknowledge our connection to one another so be sure to take a moment to wonder where someone else might be doing the very same at that very same time! From time to time, check the map to see where LEONARD LIVES, where someone else might be talking to LEONARD at the very same you are, basically...who you're LINKED to thru LEONARD!
2. "LOG IN" Use the "I'm Linked" form to
(a) let us know where you and Leonard live,
(b) upload a photo of Leonard in his new environment
(c) sign up to receive Leonard Updates (you're going to want to know what's happening when phase II starts!)
THAT'S IT! You're Linked!

THAT'S IT! You're Linked!
NOTE: Want to get LINKED but not able to make a purchase? Well, if you want to commit to talking to LEONARD weekly, imagining where someone else is doing the same, and you believe this can help us move toward World Peace, we want you to get LINKED!
So click here and tell us why you ought to get LINKED and we'll make it happen!

Are you in a position to help LOTS of people get LINKED? Let us know and let's see how we can help!
Are you organizing a fundraiser for a cause that's in some way related to peace, compassion, the health and well-being of any or all beings? Let Leonard help! Special pricing available for qualifying fundraisers. Tell us about your cause and how you'd use Leonard, and we'll get back to you asap!
Are you a retailer? Carry Leonard merchandise and help thicken the link (while also letting your customers know peace is important to you!). Wholesale pricing available. Just ask.

The initial goal was to have Leonard's image in every state in the country and in every country of the world.
Well...as of this writing, and after only few years, and exposing people to LEONARD primarily at artisan markets & shanties, craft shows, a few stores, and a gallery - all on Cape Cod - people are LINKED thru LEONARD in ALL 50 United States, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C., AND in 31 countries! Check it out!

Check it out!
More than 150 countries to go, AND we do need thicker links.
If we're going for world peace, I'm pretty sure just one person or household per state or country isn't going to be enough.
So just because someone where you live already has a Leonard, don't think you shouldn't have your own!
Besides, maybe once there are more Leonards out there we'll organize a Leonard Meetup or other event.
We gotta grow this! I keep imagining Leonard on the cover of Time Magazine, with black band across the right corner, and the words "Lobster of the Year." Can't you see it?!

PHASE II - "Chain-Linked thru Leonard" (the short story) want the long one? click here
Here's the vision: A Linked thru Leonard Road Trip
1. A Linked thru Leonard mobile unit (mock up pictured) 2. A drive around the country visiting with people who ARE Linked thru Leonard - to talk about the Leonard experience, connection, and peace. 3. Handwritten letters personally delivered by yours truly from one person linked thru Leonard to another. 4. A chronicle of the journey and a shareable product (book? blog? video?) |
Not quite sure how I'm going to pull this off, but I did have this one idea...
beeen Maybe one celebrity sponsor would kick this project into full swing.
Who's the one celebrity who has demonstrated GENEROSITY, KINDNESS and COMPASSION (and encourages it in others), has herself been bravely swam against the stream, and is just QUIRKY and PLAYFUL enough that she might actually FALL FOR LEONARD and get behind this project?

There seemed to be on clear answer. So...
Here's a picture of Laurie, the kind postal worker at the Dennis Post Office on Cape Cod, right after she affixed the $50 postage to the 24"x 36" canvas print of LEONARD I sent as a birthday gift to the one celebrity I thought might fit the bill.
I haven't heard anything from Ellen. But she's busy, so I'm not concerned yet. Surely I will. Won't I?
If she got on board, maybe she could get an auto company to provide the LINKED thru LEONARD Mobile Unit, a hospitality company to underwrite accommodations from time to time while we're on the road, maybe even an airline to help with a ticket when the time comes to take the project overses. AND maybe she'd like to have a periodic LEONARD segment/check-in from the road. You know, me, LEONARD, and the latest person to become LINKED thru LEONARD in the name of world peace!
If you think this is a great idea (or a crazy idea but you want to try to help make it happen anyway), YOU CAN HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Let ELLEN know you think it's a great idea!
Let her know you're LINKED to her thru Leonard!
(but only if you are! If you're not, get linked now, then say it!)
It's EASY! Click here to send ELLEN email.
You'll find a place to upload a photo - so if you're able, send her a photo of you and your LEONARD (and send one to me too!).
You'll find a place for a website address. Copy and past this link (http://www.justjilltoday.com/leonard) to direct her to the LEONARD's page. Or this one (http://www.justjilltoday.com/leonard-phase-ii.html) if you'd like her to look specifically at PHASE II.
And just to be clear...I sent Leonard to ELLEN as a gift for her Birthday. She didn't request him. I don't actually have confirmation that she received him. BUT I'm going to assume he's there and they are getting acquainted.
If Ellen receives 100 emails from people who are already Linked thru Leonard, who tell her they believe LEONARD needs to take to the road, who say they believe this project really CAN help cultivate connection, compassion, clear-seeing, and creativity - all of which would lead to greater peace...will she
Improbable? Perhaps. Impossible? No.
So come on...send the email. Be part of making the improbable a reality! Let's get LEONARD on the ROAD for WORLD PEACE!

- Call me and LEONARD up?
- Invite us out there?
- Hand over keys to a LINKED thru LEONARD mobile unit?
- Endorse LEONARD and as a result, encourage someone else to sponsor PHASE II?
- Get behind the idea of a weekly 'call in' from the road, and next year at this time?
