Going for it.
Posted on | January 25, 2010 | 22 Comments
A box of postcards. A handful of moments. A Field Guide For Now.
Part prose. Part mixed media collage. Part survival guide. Part adventure guide. Altogether: an exploration of the moments in life when everything happens and nothing does. Right now. Because these small, mundane, repetitive moments of laundry and dishes and leaving and arriving can also become the bread that that feeds our dreams and make us whole.
Launching on Kickstarter tomorrow.

(I am so giddy and nervous and excited about this–can’t you tell? Also, you’re support means everything to me on this one. So many of you have nudged me about making some kind of book, and while the novel is in progress, THIS is something that you will be able to hold in your hands.)

My thoughts? I am already so inspired by this concept and so moved to start seeing my own life in this way because I’ve been wrapped up in doing Something and making my life Mean Something. I think I need to go back to basics, and this idea you’ve got is the doorway to that.
Thank you so much for your enthusiasm. I love how giddy and excited you are, and I love that you have the courage to go with it. Go, go, go!

This is JUST what I needed to hear, to see. Your smiling, dimpled face and your glowing BELIEF in inspiration. Can’t wait to see what you’ve come up with.

Very excited to see what you’re planning…and to see how it goes at Kickstarter. That site has so much potential. Best of luck and hooray!

AWESOME!!!!! You inspire all of us with your creativity and drive!
January 25th, 2010 @ 10:26 pm
so many of my thoughts exactly…looking forward to watching this process unfold before you!

If you’re excited about something, then I am nothing but excited, as well! And can I just say, you are so darling in your video? And your skin is beeee-yoooo-tiful.
I love the whole concept…of the dailyness that is the bread of life…

I love it! I want to hear more!
January 26th, 2010 @ 2:17 am
wow this looks really cool.
January 26th, 2010 @ 3:41 am
Excited for you! I was unfamiliar with kickstarter… definitely a very cool project… I’ll be exploring it for sure.
Good luck!!

So great! I need to go look around that site, I had never seen it before this!
January 26th, 2010 @ 10:11 pm
Love it. LOVE IT!!!
Your face is brimming over with excitement and enthusiasm and it’s awesome to see.
Also it’s fantastic that your face in movement is exactly what I thought it would be. You are the same as I pictured you.

I’m thrilled to see more! I find myself so often (okay, always) in your writing, especially the “chomping at the bit” moments during those daily moments that never subside. To intentionally appreciate those moments… it sounds like such a gift.
Oh, and tanti auguri as we say in Italy! I hope you had an absolutely beautiful birthday full of wonder and creativity and the kind of love that transforms small moments into something grand.

Can’t wait to see them.

How do we find your project on Kickstart so we can support you?
January 28th, 2010 @ 3:45 pm
Allison–thanks for asking! I’ll be posting a link as soon as I get everything together to launch–hopefully by Feb 1st…maybe a little after. It all depends on how many minutes I can snatch for creative purposes between now and then!

[...] I’m going to launch my project this weekend [...]
January 28th, 2010 @ 9:34 pm
A deeper, lasting satisfaction in the choices we make every day. You are inspirational!
January 31st, 2010 @ 7:29 am
Looks beautiful. I look forward to seeing more!

Hi! Yours was the first blog I ever found and I’ve been in love ever since! Thank you! You are an inspiration! And favorite part of today, so far: my little boy finishing his first dose of medicine for his first ever ear infection(we had to hide the medicine in his juice to get him to take it)I feel so much better knowing that hopefully we’re on our way to recovery! Thank you again for sharing and your beautiful perspective and honesty!

Love this! A beautiful and perfect idea!
