Back in the Saddle on a Crazy Day

Back to doing some interpreting. I've been thinking lately that I need to just set up a practice time to keep my skills sharp. I think that I'm fine for most things, but I don't want to be fine. I want to be the best interpreter I can be. It isn't the product that seems to be the problem (most of the time) - it is the brain...my brain doesn't work as fast - I have to sweep the dust off every once in a while.  So, I'm thinking about an interpreting project for myself, too.   I have a lot of things on my mind lately, apparently.  And I want to do them all NOW!  Patience is one of the lessons I'm supposed to learn in this life.

My Next Project

I want to do this project for my next foray into art journaling. I can tell when I slow down on one type that I'm looking for an expanded version or some new skill. This one seems to combine lots of things I'm interested in.

I have 2 composition books ready and waiting. I just need to get my act together.

This is from the blog where the project is outlined. Can't wait to do it.

#Trust30 Starting Tomorrow

There I was, innocently reading posts on Facebook, when I found the next theme for my blog. I'm participating in Nablopomo for June and they have a theme there, but I don't usually do their themes - they don't always resonate with me. I do try to check out some of their prompts, as well, but it isn't often that I use them.

So, today, Patti Digh posted on Facebook that she had been selected as an author for a Seth Godin project called #Trust30 that starts tomorrow.  Of course, I immediately went to the website to sign up.  Seth Godin is a favorite of several people I admire greatly and I have enjoyed some of his work (I haven't explored deeply, so I have little to go on). Patti (this link is to her other blog) is someone that I not only admire but trust and love that she posted about this.

Here's what it says about the project on the website: 

• #Trust30 is an online initiative and 30-day writing challenge that encourages you to look within and trust yourself. Use this as an opportunity to reflect on your now, and to create direction for your future. 30 prompts from inspiring thought-leaders will guide you on your writing journey.

There is also mention of "The Domino Project", which I am trying to find out about right now.
Anyway, I'm excited to have a theme/project for the next 30 days. I have been feeling unfocused for a long time. I will still be doing art journals and other stuff, but I miss some of the stuff I used to do here - when I started blogging, I was a lot more fearless (re: open) and I'd like to get back to that. I think I just got caught in a rut.
