A letter to my friends,
This year, 2020, might have been traumatizing to so many of you and maybe you are hoping for a change for the better. Still...
I do not know how many tears I cried in anger or disbelieve. Is this where we are at as humanity? The aggressions, the narrow mindedness and stubborness, the brutality of leaders...the how we are dealing with our health, spirit...the holding on to a safety/security that is so cruel.
Where are our values? Where is our immune system? Love? Why do we not, why did we not rise to a new quality of health, work, lifestyle and find the solutions that make sure that we can all strive?
I do not want to blame. I am writing about my contemplations and dealings.
Yes, maybe, if we are truely rising to a fifth dimension and from a spiritual approach (I am a Waldorf student and it is just in our gens too), it might make sense. Yet, in daily life, I had to perform, often, against my values, what my heart wanted, my needs and well-being.
As artists it is our passion to touch souls through art to uplift and shift and to inspire. Why did we allow ourselves to be stopped? When audiences need us most?
So I designed and created, free of trends, one previously had to meet. I proccessed my emotions. I tried to gather artists who dared. Tried to survive and not starve. Cooperated with David to create his "business' transition and much more.
It was a time of clearing and cleaning. Of goodbyes, so many goodbyes to friends, partners or things that no longer matched.
It was a time of re-connection and re-discovering. Central Saint Martins offered free webinars for us creatives in finding a vision how we can bring the art to people. Rather than all the seminars in how to improve your online business that popped up everywhere. CMS re-valued. Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber immediatly stood up with a passion, I wish more would show, to open theatres safely. He fought for us, for art, for musicals, for humanity. I could hug him for this for eternity.
And he reminded me of my roots, the love of my life. Cats, was the musical, that inspired me to be a dancer. The love it had been created with, the passionate performers. My childhood sanctuary and vision of a magical future.
Thank you for reading this way too long letter. My intention of writing about my experience is my response to many of you asking me for coaching or sessions to create a vision for 2021 and help how to re-start an artistic business.
There is no time and energy for bu****it and compromise anymore. We cannot know what we will have to deal with in 2021. It is a new beginning. A day by day vision. A day by day safety of only doing what our heart tells us to do. Our business and our art is about the now. The vision of the new now. The way of finding energetic and physical ways to deeply connect with one another. About communicating on a personal level again rather than systems or an assistant. We matter. Be present. No marketing blabla needed, just do what you love and brings joy to the other. It is now to nourish each other. Let go of the models and the path unveils step by step. Add the new dimension now.
My next steps are to be with my wonderful companion, my cat, transitioning to a different dimension, to stay as sane as possible, nourish my creativity, deal with the pain, love passionatly, connect with mother earth, nature, animals and write a book which is a tribute to a wonderful person, tap dance and have a cocktail. Knowing that I will know, how and when to re-start the textile design shop and show my collection.
Am looking forward to read your visions for the new now.
Love to you all
