I’ve reverted to irrational preschool confidence…haha!

But I do like schedules as a framework. Otherwise, I spend all my time deciding what to do and no time doing. But it’s still a schedule of my own choosing with time for a nap!

I noticed that you are more beautiful and fit. There is some radiance of confidence like the little preschooler with determination in the picture that you posted. You are definitely in the unknown sphere and through the transformation and working towards discovery. I don’t care for schedules and when they are imposed on me, I always seem to have work arounds and ensure that every day is a New schedule. You have done some truly meaningful work lately producing beautiful DVDs of your brother and dad. In his words: “brilliant”. Thanks for being you.

If we both are “being awesome” professionally, it must be a real job title, right? =)

“Being awesome”!! I love it. Just may have to use it, too.

I’m glad you enjoyed Mr. HalfFull’s comedy! But the process of creating it made Mr. HalfFull miserable; he concluded that he’s not dark enough to be a comedian. But I think the result was hilarious.

I’m doing a bunch of little things now too, so it’s hard to sum up in a short intro statement. It sounds like I’m trying to tack things on to make myself sound more credible.

There are those blanket statements like “being awesome” that I use when Mr. HalfFull asks what I’m doing. But it seems like more of a way to deflect the question than provide a real explanation!

I really want to write something inspirational for you…however, since you posted Mr. HalfFulls improv video clip I just had to watch…being that I work with him. I was laughing out loud…you need to bring your improv skills to FHS!

I’m so happy to hear that your sense of well-being and health is high! I agree that sleep and rest make a world of difference. And I can’t handle caffeine at all… even a cup of coffee in the early morning will negatively affect my sleep that night.

And I have to confess that quick introductions are tricky for me. I do a bunch of possibly-little things, not one major thing. And I lack the confidence to just own it, and not be apologetic for it…

That's an astute observation, Mr. HalfFull. So are you saying that I've already passed the Abyss? Or is that still to come? I'm not sure how much longer I can handle the unknown!

Hmm...for some reason your use of the term "transformation" made me think of your old post about the heroine's journey. Looking back now, it seems highly possible that your Dad picking us up at Dulles was not actually us crossing a return threshold! Perhaps the world tour merely provided you with the courage to finally separate from the "known"...
