2006 was a big year. It feels right to end it with gratitude.
SNOW
Let’s start with snow! I’m thankful for all the white, cushion-y, beautiful snow we got this last week which allowed for nearly two weeks of blissful, house-bound puttering. I baked more cookies, watched more DVD’s, and organized more stuff than in any other ten-day period in recent memory. Hmm… Yum.
SISTER BEE
I feel profoundly grateful for everything related to SISTER BEE. To everyone who contributed to its creation. For the friendships that were forged or deepened during its making. For the extraordinary opportunity to present SISTER BEE at the IFP Market in New York. For the experience of premiering SISTER BEE in Boulder. For the conversations it inspired. And for the sense of can-do-it-ness I feel now that it’s complete.
SISTER BEE’s life as a finished film has just begun. I look forward to seeing what 2007 brings.
OPEN STUDIOS
I’m perennially thankful for the opportunity to participate in Boulder’s Open Studios. For the work it inspires. And for the people it brings into my life. 2006 was my best year yet for connecting collectors with paintings (eight paintings met their new owners at Open Studios this year – a record for me). Again, I look forward to what next year will bring.
HONEYBEES
I’m thankful to the honeybees! For the joy and curiosity and adventure they instigate. For the hard work they do. And the beauty they create.
FRIENDS
Last but not least I’m thankful to all the friends both old and new, near and far, whose presence and thoughts have enriched my life. I’m thinking of you with love. Happy New Year!
