</div>

<div>Hello, friends.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I'm in the 16th year of producing my indie performance InspiredWordNYC. It's been such an incredible ride in my post-retirement life after journalism.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Mind you, financially, it wasn't the greatest idea, but my heart is full. I know I made a difference in the history of the New York City arts scene and I've helped countless aspiring artists grow in their careers.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Nothing could make me happier. I wouldn't change the last 16 years for anything. It's my passion. My world. My mission: Unity through the arts. In the words of Joseph Campbell, I found my bliss.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But I just turned 69 years old. I'm realistic. I promise my artistic family - and myself - that I will continue doing shows until I can't walk, but age captures us all in the end.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Despite my age, I've just added two Manhattan venues to my one in Brooklyn. I've also increased my number of shows at the iconic Off-Broadway Triad Theater. I want to go out with a bang.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The expenses are enormous. Paying for venues, sound technicians, talent, marketing, the occasional guest host. <strong>I could use some help.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>I want to pay artists more.</strong> They deserve it. Paying artists has always been a priority for us. I want to add a professional photographer.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I want to grow our visibility with more expensive advertising.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Our motto has always been: "We've not just a series...We're a MOVEMENT."

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We're true to that. We believe in the strength of an artistic community. In teamwork. In a real family of artists.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I'm hopeful. Despite all the societal struggles. That we can come together through the arts.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I want, more than anything, as Gandhi said, to be the change I want to see in this world.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Help us continue to do that. Thank you so much in advance.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>
