An aerial view of VENICE as seen in Episode One of ESCAPESEEKER’s
La Dolce Vita

Dear ESCAPESEEKER Fans…

It has been a very long time since I’ve checked in with everyone. As many of you know, I have been totally engaged in the post production phase of our premiere episode featuring the land of La Dolce Vita–ITALY.

With the tremendous support I received to create this program comes tremendous responsibility–to get it right, and create a program of lasting value. Once it rolls out onto the air waves, we can’t take it back. So with the help of talented colleagues, we are hard at work trying to abide with what Henry David Thoreau once expressed, “What is once well done is done forever.”

To family, friends, and colleagues, I apologize for being so incommunicado during these times that call for my full engagement and dedication to this endeavor. I keep seeing the writings of Michelangelo, wherein he states, “The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.” I feel so very blessed to have this opportunity to give birth to the ESCAPESEEKER idea, and appreciate all the generous support I’ve received from all of you. If I can offer but a glimpse of the magnificence of the world around us via our program, and inspire others to venture out and experience it too, I will be so very happy.

May LOVE, JOY and PEACE surround you and your family during this CHRISTMAS season…

Here’s to blissful ESCAPES, and a year of tremendous fulfillment for 2009!

As always,

Mel aka ESCAPESEEKER
