a red dress called scandal:-)
Friday, June 8th, 2007I am more and more convinced I am following the path I am supposed to be following.
Things I was reminded of that I don’t miss –
** long, boring or contentious meetings
** weird, awkward "community" drama
** 501c3 paperwork
** working 24/7
** the who’s the downest, most revolutionary, most radical of them all game
** being responsible for an entire organization’s well-being
** being too tired to write or create or laugh, basically anything other than parking myself in front of the TV, or a blank wall
Things I loved this week –
** my red dress out dancing with my beautiful friends:-)
** summer weather meaning walks outside with my dad
** dreaming up plans involving mustangs on the coast, bacon, & scandalous dresses
**
poetry & words, even if I have to stay all day in the Boston Public
Library b/c they won’t let you take it out of the library
** introducing friends to dim sum
** having magical genius packers visit me in my dire time of panic:-)
** sweet things (vague, i know, but maybe if you’re extra sweet to me, i’ll tell you my long list:-)
On
the other hand, I also know that I can contribute and use my community
organizing skills for good (not for evil, muaahahahha) in a way that
feels good to me & makes sense. And I can have boundaries and say
no, which I am learning.
I am grateful for all the magical
genius people in my life. Even though half of me is freaking out over
this transition and I’m a worrier, I know that it’ll be okay and this
is supposed to happen. I am supposed to be here and go on this journey
to be who I really am. It feels like so many around me are also going
through this journey and making those choices. These days, I feel like
the luckiest girl I’ve ever been:-)
