"Rainbow Warriors", Small Fires & Standing Ovations

What a day!!! (Day 2 of Peace Camp and Opening Night of Two in the Bush!)

Three things I want to tell you about...

1. This afternoon at Peace Camp for our "Global Perspectives/Guest Speaker" session, we had two women from Six Nations come in and do an amazing Native ceremony with us. They concluded by telling our group of children that they were Very Special becuase thousands of years ago a prophecy was made: In the time of change in Mother Earth a generation of young people would be born with the spiritual gifts to ensure that the earth will be alright. They will come from a variety of cultures, countries, faiths, etc. And so they were named The Rainbow Warriors." Inspiring.

2. I arrived two hours prior to showtime for our opening night show tonight in a total whirlwind of various "small fires" (last minute changes to, and then the printing of, our program, followed by the collapse of our set, computer difficulties with our slideshow... oh my!). It was INSANE. And I really thought that disaster was impending, but... we managed to makeshift our way out of these disasters and eventually (5 minutes before curtain) we were ready to start the show (without having had the time to do anything we planned to do, like a Cue to Cue, or a testing of the sound levels, light focusing... I barely had time to put my make-up on before I performed) and...

3. Our first show (performed to a nearly sold-out house!) was SPECTACULAR! Tracey was amazing. The audience loved it. And we got a standing ovation. I am THRILLED. Totally proud and totally impressed. With all of us.


AND, I'm exhausted. So to bed now. Another day at Peace Camp tomorrow, followed by another show. It's ON!!! And I'm pumped!!!
