The beauty we create when we collaborate.

I've always been in awe of people who can play instruments and are part of an orchestra. The sound each person makes contributes to the greater whole. Working together, a composition is brought to life. It is truly beautiful when we collaborate to bring creativity to life. It can be a group of dancers expressing through song or a group of actors bringing a story to life. How fun to witness or, better yet, participate in a flash mob. Recently, on the San Diego, Tijuana border, elementary school students formed a message in the sand to show that we must unite to save our oceans. Nearly 1500 students aligned to form the message in two languages between two countries - what a beautiful collaboration to share an important message.

Our creativity knows no bounds and can bring such joy and beauty to the world. When we collaborate with such visions, we are reminded that we can work together - that we can bring light and amazement to the world. We are reminded that it's not every person for his or herself - that we are all on this planet together. Through collaboration, we can bring passions and great ideas to life. We can create change or simply provide a moment of awe and joy. I'll leave you with this video of "500 people dancing in the sky" from the 2014 Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China. It is mesmerizing.

Love, Adrienne :)
