I'm sure this title has your curiosity fully engaged.
I will have my first speaking engagement in Ottawa, Our Nations Capital next week.
*Big Smile* I am very humbled to participate with four very accomplished, distinguished and successful Inuit, I am sure to be a part of a group where I will have the greatest learning curve to contort myself to.
2012 marks the beginning of my being fully Engaged with Life, a Way and Truth.
Endless thanks to Qikiqtani Inuit Association for funding
Kaugjagjuk. Kaugjagjuk's example of adhering to the values and principles as prescribed by the Man on the Moon is a legacy that I too can follow and aspire to emulate.
It is my Dream this year to record my over 6 minute piano composition that I have called, "Kaugjagjuk's Freedom." It is my dream to make a classical sound and a remix that would be fun to Dance to.
This year, 2012 is filling also with another opportunity that hits closer to home: a Cousin of mine is getting married in August and she has asked me to accompany her Special Day with my piano playing.
A side note: I have been cultivating inside my being a deep love, respect and desire to help Inuit Artists. This admiration started almost five years ago while I was attending the Nunavut Arctic College's Nunavut Teacher Education Program (NTEP). We were engaged in Art Class and we were given a beautiful glossy book labeled: "Inuit Art" written by Ingo Hessel.
Incidentally, I had the fortunate opportunity to listen in to his presentation during the Saqqitiriniq Uqausittinnik Showcase: Creating Materials in the Inuit Language.... Inuit Language Week 2012.
It had been a silent cry of my heart to see in person, the one who created a beautifully illustrated and informative book about Inuit Art, and so, when he introduced himself to the group I was all ears and exuberant happy drops of joy almost came flowing from my eyes I was so happy.
Anyways. I have to say it again: 2012 is shaping up to be the Noon Day Sun of my existence.
