This is my personal view of 2014-the personal journey. This particular post may not even be shared on social media, but it’s written so I can keep a record in one place of the entire year and I may add and amend it. This is part one, January to May

In January I interviewed Tracy Walton, Sarah Barrios, Katie Kat and Jay Roberts.. I had the opportunity to visit WAPJ and go on air with Barrie Soucy and Holly Pond on the Miscellaneous Morning Show and was able to visit the studio when Walton and Barrios visited during the New England Music Awards promotion.  I became an artist in Residence at the Nutmeg Ballet Conservatory, an honor I enjoyed throughout the entire year.

In February I was invited to review The Game’s Afoot at the Thomaston Opera House. My artwork was exhibited at the Waterbury library and my new Torrington based comic strip “The Crayon Diary” was accepted to be published in the Register Citizen newspaper

In March my comic strip began running in the Register Citizen

I was also cast in a play (with a June showdate) and

In April I was honored as an Ambassador to Little Poland, New Britain. Fellow ambassadors were Ann Nyberg, Mayor Erin Stewart, Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty.

In May I attempted to create a video program.
