Mixed feelings on Mother’s Day and a last-minute card to celebrate moms or reflect.

Sunday, May 8, 2022

Hi, Happy Mother’s Day. First, I want to acknowledge that this day is hard for some people, including myself. This newsletter has cartoons about moms, of moms, and for moms, plus a downloadable last-minute Mother’s Day card/activity.

I lost my mom in 2015.

Some years Mother’s Day doesn’t bother me, some years it does. A lot of you are new here because of my Passover project. Important holidays like Passover aren’t the same since my mom died.

Of course, this holiday isn’t the same, either. But, I keep finding new ways to make the most of them even though my mom isn’t here. Today, I’m thinking of my grandma, my female friends and family, and my friends who are amazing moms. And, especially my youngest sister, Lexi, who I lean on all the time. Today’s her birthday!

If you’re new to Danielle in Doodles, welcome! I publish this newsletter of my latest doodles and updates most Sunday evenings (today was early for Mother’s Day), and you can see archives here. Doodles are usually about life in NYC, pop culture, holidays, and Jewish culture.

The people who fill the mom void

Some of my friends who fill the void are new moms! ??? I drew some of them.

If you want your own cartoon of a mom or family, reach out!

Download ‘Mom Libs’ — a last-minute Mother’s Day activity

I was trying to think of a Mother’s Day product and struggling. I drew a floral “Mom”, but it wasn’t that exciting. Then I realized I like storytelling and creating experiences. Then I got the “Mom Lib” idea. Fill it out Mad Libs style or use it as a writing guide for a sincere card. It downloads as a two-page PDF, so you can fold it into a card. It was nice to think about it in regards to my mom, too, to spark some memories. I tried it with my grandma, sister, and cousin, and we had a lot of fun. Watch us here

Some dark humor—no mom on mother’s day

This cartoon is my way of expressing how I feel on Mother’s Day, especially when people who don’t know me well ask if I’m visiting my mom. I feel a sense of unfairness that she’s gone and this holiday still exists. I feel connected to her in random places and at unexpected times (most recently when my smoke alarm started chirping and during the movie CODA). I try to look out for signs, if those exist! If she was here, I’d visit her all the time.

If you’re interested, here are my other cartoons about grief “Things that would be easier with my mom” and “5 things I miss about my mom that she doesn’t miss about me” and my standup comedy about the subject.

If you’re celebrating, have a lovely Mother’s Day honoring your mom. Life and moments together are precious. If you’re like me, I hope you can find reflective moments, and that some of this content is relatable or helpful.

Carly Cargill, an energetic young reporter for a major New York Newspaper, tries to find her ground of being as she navigates the perilous streets of the City in the late 1980’s. She is also caught in the maelstrom of the often dangerous choices of the men in her life. The playwright, Eileen Benson, has created a noir throwback reminiscent of vintage films such as “Rebecca,” and “The Philadelphia Story,” with snappy dialogue and well-drawn characters. It won acclaim at its debut performance at the New York New Works Theatre Festival in October.
The Cast:

Carly Cargill ………Danielle Meola Valencia
Kenny Muldoon…………………James Parent
Jeff Paris…………………..William Porterfield
Michael Flannery……. …..Felipe Rodriguez
Jimmie Fitzpatrick…………..Dickson Lane

Jennie Walker

Patti Rothberg

More about the Memorial concert on Thursday. Over 400 people have signed up!
The performers were all people who knew and in some way worked with Ellen and I.

Patti Rothberg is a Scarsdale based singer-songwirter who had a gold album in the 90’s, who writes and performs very moving songs. Patti and I collaborated on a song entitled Genius Bar after she performed with a then unknown artist. They had both just broken up with people who worked at the same Apple store on 5th Ave. This inspired our song at bit.ly/a5f5cm. The other artist’s song was a little different and turned out to be a little more successful onceChristine Aguilera picked up on it. It is called Say Something and that other artist was Ian Axel. It is also sadly ironic……

Jennie Walker is a terrific singer and songwriter who has charmed us with her performances and collaborated on a musical play I wrote called Broad on Wall. She will sing Its Our Time, a song she once dedicated to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. The Clintons got to meet Ellen at her part-time job at ICD Jewelry store, and they too, were taken by Ellen’s warmth and wonderful presence. The Clintons have been very kind and supportive in the wake of this tragedy.

Nthomb’Khona Dlamini is one of the original performers at our legendary South African-style Barbecues (The Scarsdale Braai) that began in our backyard and over the years brought hundreds of people to various parks in Westchester. She and her husband, bass-player,Jimmy Mgwandi were the hit of our events and her voice is reminiscent of a young Miriam Makeba. Even after Disney discovered her and put her in the Lion King, she continued to perform at our events. Ellen loved her version of Pata Pata and many other songs in Zulu and Xhosa whose meanings she may not have understood but whose emotional impact she got completely.

The musical director, Berklee School of music graduate and professional drummer, Joel Arnow is a family member.

This is not a fundraiser but we are asking people, if they wish, to help us offset the cost of mounting this kind of event at a top performance venue in midtown Manhattan.

We have not forgotten the other victims in this tragedy and can only hope this will begin the healing and inspire the best minds of our industry to help those in legacy industries to do better. We never knew we were interdependent. Sadly, now we do.
