She makes the Difference!!
You can make the Difference 2!
She makes the difference.
Yesterday, I found two little notes.
Like a still life — two yellow notes 🟨🟨 on my desk…
and it brought tears to my eyes. Deeply moved.
They were from the woman who cleans my studio and other Hubs every week.
I often hear her singing in the hallway on Thursday afternoons. We greet each other, have a small chat. She likes to practice her Dutch, and I join her. It brings joy, connection… and understanding.
I had to translate the notes…
“When I walk into your space, I feel like living again.”
“Thank you for your talent, and I wish you success on your path.”
She is from Ukraine. Like so many women, men, and children here — living between what was and what, hopefully, may come again. Even while the world feels like it’s on fire…
And still… she brings something.
Softness. Strength. A love for life. So beautiful.
It moved me.
Because it reminded me how we can touch each other’s lives without even realizing it. And that she feels joy and warmth when she sees my art…
There is no greater compliment as an artist than knowing that what you create truly makes a difference in someone’s life. 🙏🏽
And how special it is… to be seen by someone who often remains unseen.
These two yellow notes now have a place — not only on my desk, but also in my heart ♥️
This is proof that together, we can make a difference.
Be kind to one another — in the end, that’s what makes us truly happy.
Wishing you a beautiful day.
Love,
