Love & LAUNCH!

Posted on | February 15, 2010 | 17 Comments

I did it. Days of mapping out details and collecting information and editing video clips (whoa, no small thing!) and finally, here it is. A Field Guide To Now.

It kind of feels like giving birth. A lot like it in fact: the risk, the unknown, the realization that it’s all beyond my control even though I’m going to give it every single thing I’ve got.

It’s the first time I’ve ever taken a leap like this. Plunged with a fluttering heart towards a dream.

Please support this.*

And also: I have two birthday boys this week! Bean’s birthday is the 16th and Sprouts four days after. This is the week that has changed my life, twice, momentously. It felt so utterly right to launch this project today. (Still. I’m nervous.)

xoxo!

*Things are tenuous financially, and this would make a huge difference. Please Share this project with everyone you know.

    Congratulations Christina! Your book will be such a beautiful contribution. I can’t wait to read it! I will link to Kick Starter on my blog so the three people who read it will know about this, if they haven’t visited you here already :)

    Way to go!! I have to tell you, the confidence in your own work that comes through the video and your synopsis of the project are just as inspiring as the project itself (if not more). I’m so glad for this chance to support you and can’t wait to see what comes of it all!

    I backed it and posted it. Congratulations Christine. I know it must be incredibly vulnerable to put yourself out there. You’ll make it.
