Over the past few weeks, I’ve had two live-in-person gigs, and they were wonderful.
For years, I’ve known that the experience of joy is something can be transmitted from person to person. I have fun… you have fun… and the fun multiplies.
Writing it down in the Omicron-era, it sounds too much like a virus, but I have to say that these events were warm - full of laughter and smiles and song. I can’t wait to do more!
However, in the meantime…
This year, I’ve got two presents for you, and you don’t have to leave your house.
For families, kids and adults who enjoy storytelling, my live audiobook A Holiday Present is available for free on Spotify.
It’s an hour of tales from Christmas, Kwanzaa, Chanukah, Ramadan, Diwali, Solstice and the New Year. And includes the bonus “hit” single, “We Wish You A Merry Multicultural End of Year Holiday Season.”
For adults and teens, check out my holiday story in the December issue of Motif Magazine. It’s NOT a story for children, but does wrestle with the issues of today, with a happy(ish) ending. Get it on the Motif website, at news stands, shops, or through this link.
That’s it for me for the end of this year.
I wish you and your family a very merry multicultural end of year holiday season.
