The YES Gallery officially opened its doors on August 23, with a Grand Opening Celebration that was a beautiful and memorable one. As I've written in these pages before, that date was chosen because it is the anniversary of the date when I first moved to New York City a number years ago with two bags of clothing to start an internship with the Circle Repertory Theatre Company that paid $60 per week. It's been a very wonderful and miraculous journey that has brought me from that place to this one, and though there have been dark times and rocky roads along the way all I can remember now are the ways things turned out to work out to be blessings. I can only say as I always do that I'm so grateful to God for leading me along paths that I couldn't have walked by myself, and for taking the time to reach into my life and show me a new and better way to live.
As the doors to the gallery opened, there was a feeling of new life and new joy and a sense that there are more wonderful things to come as I keep my daily focus on how to walk step by step in the way that the one who opens doors is leading and allow each moment to unfold as it is meant to unfold. With a gorgeous space full of treasures shared and gorgeous art on the walls, the kindness and support of beautiful friends old and new is carrying me along on a wave of exuberance. Here's to the overflow that will reach into the heart of the community and bring together the most beautiful treasure of all as people of all ages and backgrounds come together to learn and help and grow with each other into the people they were always meant to be.
