Dear Kermit

Dear Kermit,
Hey there! How are ya? Are you having a good Carnivale season? So, yes, i suppose one might call this a fan letter. i'm a huge fan of you city, the music, the food, and most of all, the SPIRIT!!!
I have made several treks there over the years, 2 in 2017! New Orleans has made such an impression on me, a lasting mark on my soul, i might say. I know, i know, it's a fave of many. I'm an artist from New Mexico, and have both Spanish and Native blood running through my veins, and am VERY proud of my culture and heritage. I see New Orleans as pretty much the only other place in the US that holds their customs and traditions so dear. We New Mexicans have things that we say, do and eat that no outsider would ever understand. When i'm in your city, i feel it. I feel that same vibe. I love it so.
So, I'm really just using social media to send little letters and notes to some of my faves, and you were on that list. One, well, as i've mentioned before, i do LOVE me some New Orleans, and you seem to be one of the Crescent City's most favorite sons. I first saw you in the show Treme, whick i rewatch now and again, just to get that NOLA feeling. I looked up your music, and will gladly say that you are now on several play lists.
Anyhoo... I'm heading there for Mardi Gras again this year. Last year was so very memorable, i don't really ever want to miss it again. It'll be a short trip, literally fly in sunday, get to be there for Lundi Gras and Mardi Gras day, and then head back to Albuquerque for work. I know this is a long shot, but, i have a blog called Madeline Mariposa Musings, and a facebook page call Follow Your Bliss.

On these, i have starteed something i call "The Bliss Project". What it is, surrounds one question. "WHAT FEEDS YOUR SOUL?" I ask random people, and take a quick pick and post them with their answers.
If you happen to be around and not busy, which, it being Mardi Gras, i know you'll be out playing music somewhere, or BBQing with your peeps, i was just wondering if there was any possibility of getting a quick pic and answer, oh, and of course a hug!
That's all darlin'.
If your people get this and are able to pass it along, well, this old soul of a girl would be ecstatic!
If not this time, perhaps when i'm back there in March.
Thanks for reading!
With Bliss,
Madeline Mariposa
