L.I.F.E. - Love is for Everyone - is a grassroots movement started by Bill Hyers, Mark Goldthwaite and Julia West.  The idea is to love and accept others and have a more positive impact in life.  There's even a song written by Danny Morgan and recording artist Livingston Taylor.

L.I.F.E. has inspired 25 local artists to design doors that will be on display at the next 1st Thursday event at Orlando Museum of Art.  It's from 6-9pm on April 5; 407-896-4231.
