Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus....and he's gone virtual!
As the Covid-19 dilemma continues, many people have been seeking outlets for their downtime. I know lots of folks who have taken up old fashioned tried and true pastimes such as baking, puzzles, reading, and board games. I have to admit that I secretly love the turning away from technology-based diversions (everyone is basically "zoomed out" at this point). I welcome a return to a simpler, albeit more advanced, version of entertainment.
For me, and thousands like me, 2020 has brought about significant change. I went from being an extremely busy event planner with an office, warehouse, employees and support staff to a sheltered-at-home entertainer producing virtual content by myself.
All the while dealing with (what's left of) my business, warehouse, staff...
Those that know me well know that I am at heart a children’s entertainer. I have always had a knack for working with the young and young at heart. I was lucky enough to turn that into a business and have it provide me with my livelihood for many years. I love every minute I spend working with children and creative people. Getting paid to do so was the icing on the (birthday) cake.
I'm a party planner. My job is to entertain groups of people. My specialty is kids. Put those three things together with Covid-19 and it spells a very long stretch of time without anything to do. I'm like an airplane that's been grounded...I can see the sky, I'm just not allowed to fly.
