The build up and organising took everything out of me.

Looking back in my haze and blur, I'm still not sure how I did it. But it came together beautifully. Thank you for all, for the love and support to help me arrive on time for this exact moment. It is something that happened in my life that I will never forget.

Beautiful family and friends from afar came in for the night and that touched me more than you know. My Dad and Brother came in from out of town and having their presence was good for my soul. My own family were on high alert for me all night. The girls served and worked and Digz was amazing with hosting. My sweetest friend Anne from Durban came through too. Anne helped me and mentored me through how to put an exhibition together. I seriously couldn't have done it without her.

The turnout was so moving and I was so touched by the love and support. And the online support was so tremendous too. How I wish you could have all been right there with me for the evening. Thank you all so much for walking this year long journey will me to fruition.

Anne shared such beautiful words - thank you my dear friend.

After the opening night, I had two more days at the gallery. It was short and sweet but it was amazing. My brother and Kitty stayed with me the whole weekend to finish the show and after the show was finished my incredible hubby helped me patch up those 366 holes in the wall.

All in all it was a remarkable experience and I'm so glad I did it. Who knew 2 years ago when we spoke about #1faceaday in a tiny Trattoria in Orvieto, Italy that it would lead to this event. Sometimes all we need is a seed to be planted and the idea to be nurtured for it to take root.

I can't say {THANK YOU} enough.
