My apologies that I didn't write an essay last week. I was laying in my bed whining about having a cold and watching movies. Luckily, depending on how you view it, I was most sick of Tuesday and Wednesday, my two days off from work. Additionally, this cold morphed into something that inflamed my vocal chords so for the past three days I've sounded like a frog with a frog in its throat (who has a cold).
I digress!!
It's good to be back.
Good news on the music festival front: I met with two local government officials this past Friday and though I approached the meeting with a moderately sickly feeling of vulnerability, it turns out that I had indeed prepared myself well for it. How? In short, focused spurts I managed to figure out what I wanted to talk with them about. Also, I went in knowing that my strength is simply conversing with people. We talked for about twenty five minutes and I left with their support and blessing, so to speak.
Also, I will be interviewed by a local paper on Wednesday morning. I'm pretty excited about that. I get to expound upon on my excitement for the festival and how it came about.
March is all about fundraising and this certainly augments the level of stress and vulnerability I feel in doing this whole endeavor.
Onwards...
Congrats on the meeting going well and getting an interview. You must tell us how that goes. How are you feeling about yourself as you go through this process? It seems from the outside that you are tackling some huge things head on and I would imagine that it helps you realize your amazing capabilities and ability to overcome challenges more than ever before.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting Steph! The interview went well. It was over the phone and very matter of fact. How am I feeling throughout this process? Very mixed emotions. I'm working on an essay now that addresses this. There are certainly obstacles I feel I am facing and working through then but there are other challenges where the stress outweighs the pleasure of the work. More on this soon...
