Currently sitting at a desk in a stylish apartment in West Hollywood with my boyfriend behind me and two kitties wandering around the room. We've been cat sitting Riley and Ridley this weekend, and it's been an excellent one. Excellent enough to get the dust off this blog after eight months of not writing. I apologize to myself. I know my creativity the biggest victim of my silence.
Since I seem to talk about Jason Mraz in every other post on here, it's that time again. On Friday night we took a cab from here to the Hollywood Bowl to see him play. Christina Perri opened who had rock solid voice and catchy tunes. We had seats in the garden boxes which was the closest to the stage I have ever been at the Hollywood Bowl. Our box had six seats in it and we shared it with two young guys- not sure if they were there as a couple or just very progressive. During intermission one of the guys left and came back with a Mraz t-shirt to surprise his friend, who was indeed astounded by his friend's generosity. It was cute, and inspiring to see the youth of today doing nice things for each other.
Mraz put on an extraordinary performance. It makes me so happy to see him play for such a huge crowd and to know that a guy like him gets to spread positivity to massive crowds night after night on tour. It gives me so much hope and faith to know his message is being received. To me, his message is that pure divine love is possible in these lives that we lead. And he helps us get there.
He says his mission is simple: Shine a light through music and laughter and enjoy being with people.
I had never seen him play with such a big back up band, and they made all the difference in the energy of the night. While he is able to hold his own onstage, the range of sound he got with them was another level of greatness. It makes me wonder about all the things we can't see onstage that is also contributing. His tour is a busy one and I know that if I had to even sit and watch his shows night after night I would be tired after a few days of just attending. How in the world does he do it as a performer? The simplest answer I can come up with is that he has a kick ass team behind him to make sure he's fed, rested, healthy, and supported.
I suppose you don't have to be an international music superstar to need such a thing. Just being human is reason enough to need a good team. In the past eight months my team has done well for me as I've gone through grief, change, moodiness, and growth. I appreciate every person, place, animal, and thing that supports my mission: to experience and create experiences for inspired, creative, and harmonious living.
