The future is by definition an unknown. We all have plans, hopes, expectations. But life teaches us again and again that nothing apart from the present moment is within our grasp. And we must grasp that moment...make the most of it...thrive in it even.
This has been one of the great lessons of this pandemic for me personally, and I hope, also for my children: to live each day with awareness and with appreciation, knowing that tomorrow everything could change.
Creating Cloud Playhouse, with my passionate team, will always be the most beautiful part of this year because it not only helped me grow as an artist but also gave me so many meaningful, beautiful friendships. I hope and believe it helped people get through the week, especially at a time where everyone was separated, and we needed more opportunities to get together and just enjoy each other’s company. It helped us stay connected to a community of art and artists and spend time together.
Over all we did good....we faced the considerable disruptions caused by this pandemic with extraordinary strength, patience, even-headedness...and immense gratitude. We survived this year because we were together. 🙏🏻
And as this year comes to a close, I wish you all renewed hope and good health in 2021!💕🎉🎊
