It’s a little hard to find words to adequately describe Ellis‘ CD release concert last night. The open-hearted joy passing back and forth between Ellis and the audience was palpable. Her unbelievably beautiful music, with her strong, clear, gorgeous voice, perfectly balanced accompaniment, and soul-stirring lyrics bewitched us and transported us to some new level of joyful in-the-moment living. What a treat to watch her and Rad playing together and having so much fun as they created a new kind of magic. Every song was amazing in its own way and Ellis’ stories made us laugh and cry and whoop and holler with glee. And OMG the Desdemona-Ellis-Nina Simone folk rap mashup! O. M. G. No words – you just had to be there. π The night was made even better for me, by getting to share it with people I adore! So many fun moments of shared joy and love.Β
It was an incredible night and I am profoundly grateful for having been part of it.
Sunshiny Sundays.
Naps. π

The kitties settling back down into their more or less peaceful coexistence. After the kerfuffle this past weekend, they were very hissy and growly for a bit, but now they seem to be over it. Whatever it was!
My solution to a feeling a little overwhelmed? Draw some shapes on a note card and make a little 2-day list it. It’s hard to be overwhelmed by a list with colorful friendly shapes on it. π
The pretty view of snow on the fence when I walked home.

Snowy snowy snow day. It sure made driving an adventure, but it sure is pretty, too. I’m happy my errands were done by 2 pm. Drive safe all you who are still adventuring!
Zing! Fun to say, fun to write, fun to color. π
