The dust has settled from the House of Blues event which was nothing short of magical. To hear Carol Woods and Tim Mitchum from “Across the Universe” sing Let it Be just floored me. Ben Affleck is one of the most eloquent and beautiful speakers I have witnessed in a long time. I didn’t write a speech as usual and ended up a blubbering mess. Sheryl Crow was amazing and is beyond stunning.  We are now in the process of putting the board together as well as the board of advisers for Children Mending Hearts. We are also meeting with corporations for sponsorship. I am utterly right-brained and want to go play with kids in Harlem and Africa, I don’t want to be selling myself over carpaccio and lattes. I know it’s all part of the package, but I am in complete and utter agony. We are holding our first salon in April, which I am very excited about, followed by one in San Francisco and New York. I am also in the process of creating my next exchange. I think I have some fairly good ideas that will make the kids really happy and full of joy. 

Peace,
