I took a L.E.A.P last night and bought airline tickets
at the very last minute
for
an
art retreat
~~~~~
I leave in 10 days
for
SQUAM
~~~~~
this is not like me at all
I don't plan anything at the last minte
just ask those who know me well
~~~~~
I plan everything in advance
I make plans to make plans
I don't fly by the seat of my pants
ever
~~~~~
but
maybe that's going to change
maybe this is the start of something new
maybe I'm coming out of my shell
turning over a new leaf
and all those other old sayings
~~~~~
or
maybe
I'm being the me
I wish I'd been all these years
and finally now
for whatever reason
I have the courage to do it
choosing to do what I want to do
instead of worrying
about doing
what others think I should do
~~~~~
so right now
I'm feeling a little shaken
a little nervous
but mostly I feel
right here
have a lovely time. i look forward to seeing the beautiful artwork you will create there! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on taking the step to do something spontaneous and for you--I can't wait to see what you come up with at the art retreat--and that video was awesome--I've just sent it out to all the women in my life.

That's so exciting! I don't know about SQUAM -- I'll have to google it or something! Every now and then (pretty rarely) I do something that spontaneous. I think I should do it more!
ReplyDeletewooooooohoooooooooo
ReplyDeleteYou? Wonderful, fantastic choice!
ReplyDeleteLibby? Insane, crazy, amazing choice!
I'm so glad you shared them both with me. You and Libby both inspire me to

maybe I'll grow wings on the way down.
Oh. That picture is magical. Did you take it? Dying over it.
ReplyDeleteI love your cannonball into the pool of life!It is a wonder to watch this unfold.
ReplyDeleteI came across the Squam info and my heart stopped. I knew I had to go and wondered how I would afford it. So when I went to my boss and asked if I could get the days off, since there are no refunds, she said, "I'll pay the registration
and you buy your plane ticket, but you owe me a presentation when you get back!"
I look forward to meeting you, kindred spirit!!!
You JUST signed up?? Wow. You go girl. I've been nervously anticipating this since March. I can't wait!

YEAH!!! Guess I should of read your posts in order, then I would know a tad better what SQUAM is. I know I will know way more when you come back!
