If I am blogging... anything is possible...

Hola!! (And... Isabella! It is I.... yes I.... the anti-blogger...;)

So, 18, 19, 20 March 2010 is the date for the Carnival weekend. Yet, for me, the Carnival is already happening. Every day that we passionately inject ourselves into our work in our engine room at 44 Long Street, (or wherever else we may be doing that Carnival “thing” that we do), the Carnival IS happening. Every day anybody outside the engine room speaks or thinks about the Carnival, the Carnival IS happening. All the wonderful and inspiring conversations and engagements we have had and continue to have with various performing arts groups, community leaders, artistic visionaries, businesses, techies and the beautiful people of Cape Town in general, IS the Carnival happening. So the Carnival event may be 245 days away, (*deep breath*) but every day is seeing another little piece of the story becoming a reality. Stukkie vir stukkie. So in my opinion: The Carnival is HERE!

And a far as the past few days, weeks are concerned…. Let’s see: Building Relationships. Creating Spaces for Creativity. Earning Trust. Making Friends. Building Bridges. Laughing. Faith. Making the Difficult-to-Conceive Possible. Building more Relationships. And… a touch of MAGIC… That's a window into the story of us, the Cape Town Carnival Team.

Wonderful to be here! Can’t wait to see what’s around the next corner…

My motto for the week: Creativity takes Practice.
