Thursday

It's raining today. I'm hoping that the weather will be beautiful for Breen's triathlon this coming weekend. I'm certainly looking forward to getting away for part of the weekend.

This week has been busy. Tomorrow, I have a second round of interviews for a possible job offer. I'm looking at this now with excitement. I'm very much ready to put on a new pair of shoes and walk a new path. Whether it be this job or something else, I am ready. Yesterday we had a staff meeting and I think it really helped in putting closure to end of our jobs here. This morning as I was driving to work, I got thinking about all of the things I would love to be doing as a creative artist: write a book, make lots of art and start a business somehow. But I also got thinking that it doesn't have to be an "all or nothing" choice. I can be successful in a non-art related field and I can be a successful artist all at the same time. If I open myself up to all sorts of opportunities to stretch and learn and grow then maybe, just maybe, I'll have to make a choice with my successes. Imagine that!

Today, I made a bold move and contacted the editor at Vegetarian Times. I explained my vegetarian blog and asked if they would check it out and consider mentioning it on their website or in their magazine. I would love to get more readership there plus I am more than open to advise and tips from vegetarians who have been doing this a whole lot longer. Next step....get my aprons up on my Etsy store and write a letter to Martha :))) Hey, why not...a girl can dream big, can't she???
