Many roads are still open though some are closed.
Many choices remain though some have been taken away.
We will make new roads. We will make new choices.
Everything closed or denied us for a time will reopen
and reappear and we will find ourselves with even more
choices than ever before... because we created them
ourselves. Let’s remember to be kind to ourselves and others.

Tonight I’m lighting a candle (or three) and saying goodbye
to Schitt’s Creek. This show has brought me tremendous
happiness, laughter and touched my heart in a way that no
other TV show has before. I will definitely miss these
beautiful characters and their wonderful world.
Thanks for everything, guys!

As the sun begins to set I’m thinking of my beloved
Jewish friends and family who are celebrating the first
night of Passover. May those of you who are apart from
loved ones still feel connected in all of the timeless
traditions you share across miles, decades and centuries.
Many blessings. You all mean so much to me.

Shhh! Don't tell Steve about the bag of goodies
I left on his door as a thank you for making me this
amazing Linus mask. He made masks for my parents
as well and he is LITERALLY the best friend ever.
Thank you, Peep!
Pandemic but make it fashion.
Here’s one of the items that was in the bag I gave
Steve: A 1950s W.T. Grant ceramic glitter planter of a lamb
that looks like he’s lifting his leg to pee. Golden... uhhh,
I mean April showers bring May flowers!

Hey, friends. I’m not gonna lie.
This Easter is going to be weird for many of us who
won’t be able to celebrate with loved ones. All day long
I’ve been thinking about how tomorrow will be the first
Easter in 47 years that I won’t be sitting down to dinner
with my parents. I’ll admit, it got to me but I accept the
circumstances we’re all in. This afternoon I sat down
at my table to draw and the most beautiful, warm sunlight
drew stripes across me as it came through the blinds and
it made me smile. It felt like all of my departed loved
ones were smiling at me and saying “I love you” so I thought
I’d share that light (and that smile) with all of you because
I love you too. Let’s keep finding our light and sharing it
however we can.
This is what was on my table when the light broke through
and lit up my eyes with joy. My work table is a sacred space.
I’ve been using it since my parents gave it to me in 1985. It is
here that I’ve not only created most of my artwork for the last
35 years but also created myself to some degree. We all create
ourselves with the energy we choose to connect to and the
things we make with it. Many thanks to the sunlight
for what it brought me today.

I dropped off flowers, supplies and maintained a
safe and appropriate social distance. The dog was
very confused. Happy Easter from The Montone Family.

Not all secrets are dark. Some carry magic.
Our reflections show us what we project.
Our shadows show us (through contrast) how bright our light
can shine. Our perception of distance shows us not how
far we are from our desired good but how far we can reach.
Sometimes, in stillness, with clear vision and belief in our
own power, the stream can carry everything our way.
Here’s to all of us as we co-create peace, abundance and
prosperity. Stay illuminated. Love, CDM
