It’s been a very long time since I’ve used procreate. Today I thought to myself…I’m gonna see what I remember, I’m going to make something. I will make the time today for an idea I’ve had for a long while. Here it is, stumbles and all.

Drawing from one of my photos I took earlier this year, it echos something I believe more and more. Perhaps prickly things need the most love.

Saw “Clue” for the first time and got to hear from the actors during a field trip. What talented actors! Maya was looking forward to being with her peers, and the day did not disappoint.

Maya got a solo. She’s been auditioning all year long and finally got one. I’m so proud of her, not only for getting the solo but for trying and being ok with not getting previous solo’s.
What I love about these two photos is the expressions on her classmate’s faces. At the end of the song and her solo, they smiled and clapped. It’s true she is not the best singer but she gives it her all. I can’t help but think that her efforts bring a kindness within ourselves and to the world.

Something amazing happened today! Maya saw a therapy dog at the golf clinic, she was tentative but then over time she moved towards the dog and gave it a hug. Wow!
This is our third year at the Tesori family foundation golf clinic and every time we go she impresses me with her focus. She got a hole in one twice and she really got the knack at chipping. The instructors were enthusiastic and made it fun. This year we made new friends and saw our first caddy from 2020. She is improving her skill and the caddy coach was so positive and encouraging.
Words cannot express what this experience means.

So proud of all our friends who were part of this production. So many successes this very day. What inspiration! A special shout out to Maya’s high school Drama club friend who came with us to the show. It was so special to share this experience.

So many moments, From cheering on her classmates and encouraging them to do the same, to doing her absolute best at every move on stage, and strangers complimenting her after the show.
Thank you to the dance teacher for believing that Maya is a valuable participant in this dance performance . Two days of performances because she was an integral part in her set.
Here is proof that giving opportunities creates competence.
