About last week…
Got to see our new airport on my way to Nashville for the yearly camp Minted trip. I started with as a designer in 2011 and never expected it to bring me what it did. It was my introduction to community. Thousands for artists (although way less at that time) all competing but also supporting each other through friendships and critiques.
This year I got to hug my friends that I haven’t seen for a year, others I haven’t seen for years and it felt so good. I got to meet friends that I had never met in person. I got to take art workshops and learn about workflows. I visited and was floored by inspiration. I walked along the bars in town and heard music flowing into the streets. I learned a line dance. I played bingo, and danced my heart out.
This is your reminder that community is so important for our souls. This is coming from an introvert that needed lots of recovery time from all the peopling. ☺️
Thank you !
- love you ladies!
- it was so nice to meet you in person and spend some time with you!
So many more I could mention and so many that I didn’t get time to talk to!
I think Yinz need a camp minted in Pittsburgh!
