I Did It
I read from this, my dear blog, tonight at Claire’s book launch.
There were many talented performers, writers and musicians there and I was surprised and honored to be amongst them. I am so glad I did it. Now that I think about it, I am speaking my truth as well as I know how and that is a big deal for me, or anyone. I can, and will get better, but all this gnashing of teeth, and pummeling of breast, and dark depths of despair pay off in these moments of lucid honesty in front of others, and even more so, in front of myself.
I worked hard and got a lot done today.
I under exercised Lefty and was not the best friend on earth to my human friends either.
I faced some fear and moved through it.
I am going to Sedona tomorrow, and while I have too much to do, who doesn’t, I am thankful to get out for a few days.
And I have a big week to come back to…and it’s probably something I can’t fully disclose here yet, but we may be needing to get the iPhone app out by March 27th which will mean I will be streaking through my own life like lightening. More later.
In the meantime here are some pictures from the artist get together tonight. Again, I am so happy I read. I walked in just as the first presenter was up, who was lovely, and Claire, our host came to the mic, welcomed me and asked me to settle before I read. I said no, let me read now. I often feel this way, but let propriety and a misguided sense of politeness get in the way, and will sit and suffer because of it. Instead, I walked in, I said yes, I’ll read, I did not take the mic, I projected instead, and started in.
It was fun.
There is no recording. I don’t care.
Today was a good day. Off to more adventures.
I know there is more, but I have to pack and hang out for a minute with my houseguest, Laura. And finally I need to figure out if I need to put flea juice on Lefty. Poor butt muncher, but I don’t think it’s fleas, so what is it?
Hopefully I can figure out how to post from Sedona!
