Update:

Did not get to the gallery crawl that time, it was yucky and raining. But you better believe I was there two weeks later at the next one. I spoke to some of the vendors, meet some really great people, and just had a dang good time. Thing 1 and Thing 2 got their caricatures done.

So the plan is hopefully to go out for the next one and see what I can do.. The kids are going to take some watercolor paintings to sell. I wanted them to feel like part of it. To be excited about it. Besides, it will be a very good little business lesson for them. You figure if we don't sell anything we can chalk it up to a learning lesson for next time. The scary part is getting out there.. Nothing gained, nothing lost.. At worst it is a nice evening sitting in the middle of a bunch of great people and soaking up the scene.

I got a job recently and I am totally in love with the mission and the things they do in the community. There is so much potential for me to grow. The benefits rock my socks off YO! I am the bottom rung of this ladder but I will work my way up, no doubt.

There is something I have invested great time and love in that is just not going to work. I have come a long way with regards to getting in touch with my emotions. Being vulnerable is damn hard work. I have decided I won't go back. I know myself very good, I can not compromise. I know who I am and what I need.

But to be completely honest, I am not over it. It will take some time. So there is good and bad but so many bright lights on the horizon. I plan on taking full advantage of these opportunities. ♥
