There is a magic in you. It’s a glow you’ve possessed since we were kids going to high school dances together. Within this glow lies a magic. A magic you’ve passed onto our beautiful children. Our babies see the world differently because of you. They walk through it with a level of compassion, empathy, and sensitivity that make them wise beyond their years yet a joyous, comedic, and creative spirit that shield them from ever losing their spark.

There is a fight in you. A fight for justice. A fight for kindness in a world that feels so unkind. The fight has led you to founding and rescuing hundreds of cats on the street who would have never had a chance of a safe and loving life if it weren’t for you. You did that. The fight has led to us to taking a nontraditional route for our children’s education, creating a beautiful opportunity to learn and experience learning differently with this co-op. Because of your idea and the care you put into it, our kids and other little ones have been inspired and curious well beyond a standard education that stifles those two most important qualities in life. You did that.

There is a love in you. A love you have for your family. A love for music. A love for adventure and living. This love is so special. Colliape, Cypris, and I are so incredibly lucky to feel this love from you and share this love with each other. Our kids sing because of you and they will continue to soar because of you.

As for me, I am whole. I am weightless knowing you love me. I am the luckiest human in the world knowing I am in love with the most beautiful person I have ever met. Thank you for this life . I love you so much. Happy Mother’s Day.

You are a gift. To our family, to me, to the hundreds of felines who never had a chance until you came.

You are a teacher. For personal growth, for empathy, patience, and unconditional love.

You are an example. For what it means to stand for what you believe in, for equity, and what’s right in this world.

You are a creator. For joy, for art, for all things music, the written word, and any and all sparks of imagination and brilliance. You have the it factor and recognize it in others.

You are an inspiration. For what it means to love, for what it means to never give up, to make things happen, and carve a life for yourself that doesn’t follow the norm. A life that is different and uniquely ours. A life I cherish.

I love you so much. Thank you for being born. Thank you for going on this beautiful journey with me. I’m so lucky. Happy Birthday

Things that make me happy. Putting friends on who have been there since the early days.

S**t doesn’t mean much if you can’t do it with the people you care about.

Last year at BP in Singapore I felt the art community was disjointed. I even remember someone snickering when Nom announced the acquisition of .art by . It didn’t feel right. It felt off. I wanted that to change, because if we were to do anything in this community we would have to work together, even if we were in competition. It was us against an outside world that didn’t value digital art on chain, not us against each other. Conversations with Mallow, Vibhu, Foster, and Nevi started. And then after with VVV and their community. This was the most important part of the process as we realized we all cared for and wanted the same thing; for artists to do well and be excited about what they were a part of, no matter the market place or platform. A win for Mallow, a win for EA, a win for VVV, Drip and Foster Protocol was a win for all of us. So for the first time that I can remember we started working together. We collaborated for events for NFT NYC, with in Mexico, Paris, and most importantly this weekend at Breakpoint on Abu Dhabi that saw the work of 95 artists on display throughout 2 galleries and locations around the entire conference grounds. Art was visible and art was appreciated.

I leave with the feeling of pride we were able to do this together, but also with a much larger motivation to bring even more art into BP and a way to get more artists to these locations. It was still a very tech/finance heavy conference, as it will always be, but we all know it’s the artists that bring a special culture that cannot be replicated or replaced. We bring the vibes and beauty no one can match. I want more of that. And I want it at a bigger scale.

Thank you to my team who held it down while I was away and supported with items needed while I was there. I’m incredibly grateful for you all. And a special thank you to all the participating artists who created the beautiful work that made this conference special. You inspire me.

I’m so happy to be back with my family enjoying the holidays. I missed them terribly.

Expect some more exciting news in the coming days as we close out the year strong at EA and .
