Small unbelievable things
Posted on | June 17, 2007 | 4 Comments
Walking knee-deep in the ocean. Picking up scallop shells for Bean. Uniterrupted reading time. Trying to kick fear in the ass, and the prospect of an entire night of uniterrupted sleep.

Easier said then done, but try not to be nervous. You will be wonderful. You ARE wonderful, talented…amazing. Know that.

Maybe some small voice inside of you says that you know you have talent. It must, or you wouldn’t keep writing. and if the word isn’t “talent” it’s passion, and that’s just as important. so listen to that voice, and give it a microphone.
i’ve been looking at “kelly rae” this month too. i’m so amazed by her paintings.
Good luck with your course and I can’t wait to hear how it goes!

I can promise you are not the only one nervous tonight…
And I will be doing something very similar in late July, so I can live vicariously through you until then! I love the images of houses along the coast of MA. So lovely. Have a wonderful first day! (Just think of all your first graders on their first day of school… eep!)
