December Musings - Gratitude and Promotion

Grateful for SO MANY things - a totally unpoetic list in no order

Performing to Diagulation by Djinn during The Art of Belly Dance. In this shot I am throwing a fit.
​It matches the music, trust me. 

• I have been journaling more. 
  
• I have written a sonnet to the VAC (click for info).
  
• I have taken part in a beautiful show celebrating music and musicians that I love (pictured).
  
• I have been offered so many opportunities to perform with individuals I would never have had the change to perform with before (more to come on what may be my last live performance of the year) .
  
• I have been Santa and I have led some beautiful elves and reindeer through "reindeer games" for your viewing pleasure (see last section below).
  
• I am surrounded with family, friends, and community.
  
• I am pursuing fields of study and work that I am passionate about.
  
• I am beyond grateful for this beautiful life.

I am also grateful for you. Thank you for joining me as we traverse this journey. I promised a better blog and while I am sorrowful at this disappointment, I am still so grateful for this mode of communication and that you are listening to me. Thank you thank you thank you.

A special thank you! 

Thank you to the Idaho Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts for providing funding to me and other artists in Idaho through the CARES Act. Thanks to your help, the Treasure Valley will continue to create beautiful and inspiring art. I am beyond grateful for this funding during these important and uncertain times!
