Starting Sentiment

When does any work really start?

Does it start with an idea, a to-do list, a problem, a plan, a passion, a dollar, a commitment, or a conversation from 5 years ago? Or are we starting and finishing things all the time?

Through upsetting climate change and political climates, psychological distress and feelings of hopelessness, family deaths and broken relationships, a pandemic’s heavy history unfolding, a tidal wave of resistance against systemic racism, and other life-bending events—my sentiment is calm.

Because through these events, I’ve also had the honor of making music, connecting with numerous inspiring souls, experiencing culture through travel and arts communities, supporting amazing and critical causes, building a home, helping ideas grow, and laughing with it all. (At the beginning of 2020 I even took a laughter yoga class, TRY IT.)

So no more holding back! It’s time to share! I may be late to the train, but I’m getting on. And once the train starts, I can’t get off…
