Making it all Happen, or Why I May Be Away
Saturday, April 3rd, 2010
A feeling has come over me that is somewhat hard to explain. It is a new sense of motivation, yet it is from the inside out and feels terrific. Much different from the eleventh hour have to get it done scramble. It is a feeling paved by building blocks and well thought out plans. Developments that can now come to fruition because of all of my years of experience and plotting, whether noticeably or not, to make such things happen. I am bringing things into the now and ever present. I am facing the work that has to be done and embracing it. I have given myself a year, the last year of my thirties, to lay the groundwork for a healthier, more organized, more productive life. And I am loving it!
I may not be doing so much of the “Talking” here on the “Trellis” as I have set up a separate entity to encase this year long proactive project. You, sweet blog and sweet readers, have been here for me before this new burst of excitement, and you will be here after this project is done. You continue to give me a home for thoughts that need to be shared, and I value that. I will be by every once in a while, have no fear, for my love for you is strong. Though I would love it if you followed me over to the bridge I have created to sustain me for a year:
It houses a list of my goals and dreams, a plan to bring them into action, a call to be my cheerleader, and a pledge to keep tabs on my progress through 39 blogtv broadcasts. The first of which will be tomorrow evening, April 4, 2010 6pm Pacific.
Also, I will be updating my progress through the blog from feeds to my Facebook fan page. Yes, I know, I thought it was silly too when Alicia made me a fan page after my friend’s husband said he wanted to fan me. Yet, now I love it, as it gives me a place to record and share all of this, as well as my professional endeavors, while keeping my personal wall to share how I am feeling about myself and the world. Sometimes it is good to have specific homes. If you are on Facebook and would like updates and feeds from The Last Year of My Thirties, my professional talks, and my one woman show- please fan me and nothing will get lost through the cracks:
It’s funny, when I turned 21, my mom sent me 21 packages as presents that had 21 items in them. Now, I cannot stop looking at things that contain the number 39! We went over to her place last night for artichokes and she had a little belated birthday shindig for me. I cannot stop celebrating my birthday! It was really nice. She and I have rarely lived in the same city and for many many years I have not even seen her near or around, and most certainly not on, my birthday- so last night was very sweet. We came home with a huge sheet cake that I think we will have to freeze and eat all year long! As we left, my mom announced that I can be, “39 forever now!” I told her one year will be enough for me. And I meant it. What a great adventure this last year of my thirties will be! Thank you to everyone in my life, you have all helped me more than you will ever know.
