I had the incredible opportunity of working wardrobe for Earth, Wind, and Fire. ππ¬π₯πβ¨οΈ Thank you Shawn for the kindness and a beautiful work experience. Typically Im not allowed to take photos, but I was granted permission. Here are a few pics from side stage of Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind, and Fire.
The best way to describe the experience is, it felt like family. Everyone was so warm and there were never a lost opportunity to tell a joke. The gentleman from the band knew my name by the 1st evening and greeted me "HELLO Ritz" day two. This wasn't work. It was an honor. I could go on for hours about how lovely it was.
I truly feel like the universe put this in my path as a way to heal my heart and remind me all is well. During this month in my personal life ive been tested in ways never before. My brain tumor continues to be a mystery until I get more test. I lost my home, a best friend passed away, and due to health and grief I missed deadlines for future shows. Ive fought to stay in Orlando so I could keep working in my field, and then I got this show call. These absolute Angels were the kindness my heart needed. Im so beyond grateful for moments of light when things seem dark. β¨οΈπ
