I am appreciative of my health during this pandemic, and the many blessings that allow me to continue being creative during this time while also working on a new skill set. I am also so appreciative of my new friendship with Jisun! We met virtually for the first time when preparing to play a joint ballet class at ASU, and now I look forward to every class session for the wonderful music and banter that we get to create. Music and food are two ways of communicating and expressing that which is beyond words, and I feel very fortunate to experience both of these aspects of you, Jisun.

I made a simple sandwich for this meal, because it was a packed day and I had only a short break between jobs and working on my Masters coursework. To me this sandwich represents the everyday staples that can get us through hard times, busy times, and happy times alike. It was exactly what my stomach needed, and this opportunity to focus on gratitude is feeding my soul in a very similar way. Thank you for including me in your project, see you in class!
