WOW! It’s been a year since the pandemic changed all our lives back in March 2020.
We'd like to take this moment with the community to collectively share the things we miss, things we have learned, trials and tribulations, and the silver linings that the past year has brought our way. Here are some stories from our staff:
• I really miss doing concerts and tours, but one of the silver linings is that it forced me out of my comfort zone to start doing solo performances, which is something I always wanted to do, but never did because I didn't have to 🙂 I had so much fun doing little mini concerts and shows from my tiny deck. #tinydeckcocerts
• Working from home has its perks, watching my baseball games while I work and my new co-worker. Hilo keeps me moving whether I want to or not sometimes. And lots of "social distancing" on the boat.
• During the pandemic my Husband and I try and get out and walk on nicer days. When we would go to Sandy Beach we started balancing driftwood on other driftwood - temporary art for this ever changing and somewhat precarious feeling world we now find ourselves in. It is now one of my favorite things to do when I find myself on the beach, it makes me feel like a kid again, carefree and playing in the natural world.
• One highlight has been a couple of friends and I host monthly art nights where one person supplies a craft/art, another supplies drinks, and the other one supplies a meal or snack to each other's home, and then we all hang out on Zoom for a few hours while making art.
• Getting outside has been one of the true silver linings. It's been a great way to "take a vacation" and disconnect from the world and at the same time has become a go-to way to safely spend time with family & friends.
