Open Heart, Open Mind, Open House!

2016-05-18 My Paintings 005“On a day when the wind is perfect, the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty”   Rumi

Saturday was that perfect wind, that brought the world of beauty to our open door and filled our sails with gratitude for the amazing family and friends that are our safe harbour.

As one weekend of joy and merriment followed another, friends, family, & neighbors showed their support in so many beautiful ways it fills me with happiness and overflowing love for the goodness around me.  After a winter of painting and building and dreaming and imagining, arranging, and rearranging, …Rob and I opened the doors of BoHo Studio to the community.

Fort Erie Mayor Wayne Redekop and Port Colborne Mayor Bea Kenny were so kind to attend and show support…Wayne cut the feather Boa to officially welcome BoHo Studio to the town and said such meaningful  words that I was very touched. He spoke of how our day to day routines are the prose of life, and how places like the BoHo studio and the kind of people who it will attract, provide the essential inner poetry and color to our lives. I thought that was so beautifully spoken and so very true.  I have witnessed this first hand, that the people who have become the “new Bohemians” are so positive, unique, generous and colorful people , full of ideas and fun, radiating with goodness and appreciation of life.  This vibrant community has been so welcoming, so supportive, I cannot imagine being anywhere else right now.

To be surrounded by people we love, family and friends old and new, community leaders, neighbors, coworkers, artists, musicians, all feeling the good vibes, the feeling of unity, everyone supporting us in  many different ways was an incredible feeling and was a huge gust of wind in the sails toward the future as we offer the Boho to its evolution to fit the community in which it has put down anchor and now calls home.

Thank you to all of you who attended and to all of you who went over and above. Forever grateful. Deb & RobIMG_0566
