Good News from #whatshesaidproject!
And couldn't we all use some good news?
I’ve started to write this to you a thousand ways. Things kept getting in the way of it, mostly me.
Why?
I have lots of good news I could share, which feels good when mostly there’s a lot of bad news around me/mine.
So, I thought about telling you just the good news.
Then, I experienced the fallout in my business (my clients are directly affected by layoffs/grant funding), but I didn’t want you to worry. And yet, this is real, and you will see me adjusting things because of it.
So, here I am in this strange time, thinking about integrity. About honesty. About hope? About realism. I do enjoy a romp into magical realism, but some days, getting to the Yes, And mindset of improv is challenging.
So, with a mix of YES, AND energy, I give you a good news round up with opportunities to connect.
I was offered a contract on my medical memoir, and we are negotiating terms (I am the QUEEN of negotiation, did you know?). It will probably be released a year from now. I have been working on the 9th draft. 10th? And it is the best version of the book. I’m proud of it.
I testified at the state house in SC against a DEI bill. I’m proud of that little speech that could, and I am coaching folks who are ready to activate their artful citizenship in that way. Wanna listen?
I will have my first office in an arts collaborative starting in April. So, if you are local to me, or want to plan something local to Columbia, SC, let’s chat.
