Joyfully Busy

I had a terrific meeting this morning with the woman who coordinates public art installations for the city of San Rafael (where I live). Together we came up with a plan for my recycled materials garden art to be displayed for a temporary period in a public garden space downtown.

We walked through the setting and it's perfect. She just needs to make some phone calls and arrangements to get things started and then I can begin installing right away. I'll have a lot of flexibility, which is helpful with my busy schedule, and will be hopefully able to set up my work over a period of time. It's a really great opportunity for me and we are both very excited about it.

Honestly, it never ceases to amaze me how things work out the way they are supposed to. Had I not made the decision earlier this year to forgo going to Marble this summer (I would be leaving in less then two weeks if I had stuck with my original plan) then I would not be able to participate in the many cool things that have been coming my way recently.

I'm missing everyone in Marble terribly but I know in my heart that I needed to stay home. Marble isn't going anywhere - I'll be back next year (and the year after that and the year after that....) My heart is there; it's like a second home. But I am needed here for too many reasons to count.

Now, if I can just figure out how to finish my installation for Burning Man, help out with the Temple build, do this new public garden installation in San Rafael, work in the management office at American Steel, hang out with my husband and dog, see my friends and family, eat right, exercise, and sleep without running out of hours in the day then I will consider myself a Super Star!

If I fall into a deep sleep when it's all over in September, please don't wake me.

And away I go!
