Hanging in there…

Hanging, Bali, 2008.
“The future is no more uncertain than the present.”
Walt Whitman
On Monday, I finally got my new work permit and the freedom to make a life change.
On Tuesday, I resigned from a job I’ve had for the past 10 years.
On Wednesday, I’m hanging in there…
Trying to decide what to do with my one precious life.
What’s new with you?

Walk with me

Last Saturday I joined the Shutter Sisters fabulous walk through the streets of San Fran’s beloved Chinatown.
If you could see I what I saw, you too would love:

The only problem is that you may end up like me…
A wandering bird…
Completely lost in wonder ~

BlogHer weekend

Wordle, Blogher weekend, 2008.
***
Blogher brought such fabulous women energy to San Francisco this past weekend!
It was such an amazing opportunity to gather smart, witty, friendly, open minded women (and even a courageous man!!!) with all sorts of interests and drives.
I was (and still am) overwhelmed by all the goodness and beauty surrounding me… Can you tell?
And I didn’t even get to really talk to some of you :(
But I was delighted to hear your powerful voices for a moment ~
And enjoy your smiles and revolutionary ideas from a distance ~
And hold hands with you ~
Oh! I still am enjoying a “high” that is making it hard for me to decompress and go back to the routine.
I am so hooked on you and your joyful creative energy.
I am so lucky to have met some of you who live nearby.
I need more time with each and every one of you.
I made sweet friends for life.
I am going to dearly miss this magical time we all shared!
Bottom line is that the TEA and WALK were teasers only ~
We need more creative days!
We need playtime!
We need more journals!
We need more of our beautiful, colorful, inspiring books!
Books filled with our Art, Stories, Dreams, Photographs, Magic and Soul!
We need more Powerful Gatherings that ignite our fire!
We need Summer Camp!
Yeah!
(Geez… Aren’t I amped up!?) ;P
*
For those of you who were here ~
Thank you again for all the love & for a fabulous time!
*
For those of you who weren’t ~
I look forward to the day we’ll finally meet.
*
One thing is for sure…
These connections we make here are true and beautiful.

I’ll come back with photos in a couple of days.
