I'm supposed to be writing about the 5th thing I learned in 2025.  Okay
-- You never know what wonderful things can happen.  Yesterday
at the Off The Wall art show at the Heliconian Hall, 35 Hazelton in
Toronto I was going out to the street to ask people to come in.  A fellow
came in, asked if he could go up on the stage at the back of the Hall.
He saw the grand piano and got excited then he began to sing, and 
his voice was miraculous.  We asked him to continue and he sang
a beautiful holiday song.  It was so moving that a visitor to the show
started crying.

That singer came off the stage.  I asked his name, and if he was a 
singer full time, and he said that he was currently in a show
called We Will Rock You.  I said that I was going to the show
that night, and he hugged me and said wait after the show to
see him again.  That was so exciting. Caleb Ajao plays Brit in the show
We Will Rock You, currently playing at the Ed Mirvish Theater.

So we went to the show last night, and it was amazing, and Caleb is a star 
in the show.  Just beyond awesome to watch.  Afterwards we saw him
and he hugged me and my husband, and we told him how fantastic he
was, and the whole show was just stunning. 

So that's my story.  Who would know sitting a show on a quiet afternoon
at my art club, that this would happen?  So incredibly cool!

Thank you to everyone who has attended the show so far. You make
us artists so happy. 

If you haven't seen the exhibition, please come out on Sunday from
1 - 4 p.m.

Have a loving your life day!
