where my peeps at? (courtesy of myk)

I came across this photo with Myk, somewhere online. Maybe Wired.com or something. Regardless, it’s not something I put together, but it was a much needed happy highlight to our evening. I just can’t keep from smiling when I see this photo. It’s just… too awesome.

So that’s been my theme lately. I have definitely been in a “Dip” as defined by Seth Godin. That low point after you have all your ideas and you have been working on them for a while, but now you don’t know if you can pull it off and make it happen? It’s hard to get beyond that. Yes, there are days I feel like quitting. There are days where I tell myself that I should just get pregnant and have babies. That’s what I am supposed to do, right?

Reading The Dip by Seth has really helped though. To recognize that this is normal in most projects and that if you can push though it, you are one of the few who didn’t quit… and it pays off. That’s what I have to keep my eye on. The payoff.

And you have to enjoy it along the way. Like a peep with wheels, people may not get it and look at you funny, but some people will. And those peep lover, the ones who think the wheels are just brilliant, they get it and want more. That’s what I am focusing on for my green girls group. The ones who don’t get it I am not trying to convert. If you don’t get it, this is not for you. If you do, come join me and laugh, have fun and enjoy.

Oh, the pressure of writing about so many things here has left me paralized to not write anything at all. Need to stop that. Need to really ignore striving for perfection when people just want to hear how me and my family are doing.

A glimpse of summer last week made it hard to work, but I got a taste of the fantastic. A taste of what there is to come. That should be enough to get me to release my baby bird and let it fly? It did get me very excited, but I also saw how much more there was to do.

I remind myself of my previous post about patience and what Shauna told me about Oprah. Oprah doesn’t plan anything (at least too much in advance). She just let’s it happen.

So let’s let it happen. It will be born when it wants to. Wheels or no wheels, it will be awesome.
