…see light. Now, when I wake up I purposely put a smile on my face, open up the curtains and blinds to let light in. To be the light, you have to see the light. That’s why I am healthy.
It shouldn’t have to take a disease or something to get you to get right. I almost died of the flu. Try not to let unhealthiness get too far to get you to change. Complacency is a thing that keeps us down. Whenever I can, I take the stairs instead of the elevator.
Make an EXTRA effort, for yourself.
BDO: What’s next for Jenifer Lewis?
JL: I’ve learned to live in the moment. You should never say, ‘I’ll be happy when ___.’ Spend your time saying ‘Thank you’ and ‘what is it you would like.’ If in fact, you can imagine it, you already have it. Tour the world with my one-woman show on Broadway.
Whatever I’m going to be doing in 5, 10, 25 years, I want to be happy. As long as I’m connected to it. Evolving creatively, healthy, happy and free.
