Congratulations for making it another month. We’ve come through a lot again. It’s the holidays, and we here at DRMTM are taking a moment to grieve losses for ourselves and humanity, light candles in the name of hope and healing, and turn toward grace and gratitude.

We started The Silver Lining as a way to stay connected when we realized the pandemic would separate us from each other for no-telling-how-long. By sharing a little humor and highlighting the generous creativity of arts and culture in healing communities over these difficult months, we hope you’ve breathed a little lighter now and then.

Hope is always on the horizon. Soon we will look back at this dark time and see how much light we made – how blazing, and brilliant, and true it was – how deeply it shined in all of us.

In the spirit of unity and a voice for all, we share this soul-stirring rendition of Broadway for Georgia’s performance of Georgia On My Mind. You’ll see some familiar faces, and you’ll wonder how anyone can sing and smile like that at the same time.

LOOK WHO’S BOLD AF

Well, it’s no surprise to us ‘cause we’ve been talking about it all year, but it’s nice when things get official. Artists Are 2nd Responders is the campaign from Californians for the Arts, the state’s advocates for the arts and culture sector. “A first responder comes in and saves a life, a second responder comes in and helps to rebuild a life.” Read about it and champion this cause in your own community.

READY. SET. REIMAGINE.

We’ll be back to business in January 2021. For now we wish you peace, prosperity, and great health.

And on earth peace, goodwill toward men,

If you don’t want different, you don’t want DRMTM.
