I'm completely exhausted and way too keyed up to sleep. Things are finally moving on the Beckoning of Lovely front, and the email is flying like...something that...flies a lot? You know what I mean.
Today I had a conference call with some of the key cabinet members to share ideas, get a sense of the larger goals and How to Proceed. It was a good meeting, very exciting stuff was discussed, but I have to say...conference calls? Not my favourite medium of communication. Very effective, and it was cool to be on there...but I have a lot of trouble speaking up in a group when I can sense body language, let alone when I can't see anyone! Ah well -it was nice to see things get underway, and the issues I had were totally to do with me and my extreme shyness around strangers, even super-awesome-friendly ones.
Anyway, in other news I have successfully managed to break myself of the parenting-board habit...by going back to the SARK message board:-P And let me demonstrate why I love this place so much:
Here were the first few threads I read:
1. Someone asking for prayers/good vibes for a doctor's visit
2. A meeting of "joy rebel warriors"
3. A collection of beautiful poetry and photos
4. A thread of support for a woman who filed for divorce today
5. A collection of haikus to celebrate the upcoming marriage of a board member
That's it. No debates. No judgment. Just immense outpourings of love and support and creativity. I felt like I was going back home.
Now, I know it's not for everyone -Papa Bear, for one, is far too cynical to enjoy something like this- but it is the perfect place for someone like me. And it makes me very happy to be back!
Anyway, this is a disjointed entry, but it's an hour past my bedtime, so it'll have to do!
Nighty night!
