Events & gatherings are one of the many ways we connect, celebrate, commune & relate as human beings.
I’m in an industry which services these events & although I love what I do & what my business offers, I realize that what we provide is a luxury service. Humans do not need beautiful scenes or Pinterest worthy photos in order to commune. It is a luxury not everyone can afford nor is it necessary. Creating spaces for people to feel good in happens to be an art form I love & will do forever even if it’s in a cave someplace with sand and rocks. But some of the best party’s I’ve been to or have thrown had zero decor, were BYOB & everyone was broke.
As the heartbreaking emails roll in w/reports of cancellations & postponements of events, I’m reminded of how beautiful the human spirit is & how what we think might be important is truly not. As scary as things can seem whether it be our finances or our health, we will be okay. It’s easy to overdose on information & statistics. Don’t hold your breath or onto fear. Breathe & allow this to pass. May I suggest keeping little ones away from the news & out of conversations which can cause anxiety. May I also suggest throwing a BYOB party with people you love. It doesn’t have to look perfect & you don’t have to post about it. It’s way more fun anyway. All my love and peace to you all and thank you. 🖤💫✌🏼
