What’s Next? I’m Bored!

The Expo was a huge hit. Because I told everyone how stressed I was last week, everyone made sure I got a lot of appreciation and a lot of hugs. (Funny how easy it is to get what you need when you let people know.) Success at the Expo is measured by all of the amazing conversations that happened, in workshops, with birth providers and therapists, with yoga teachers and cloth diaper businesses… with moms and dads and between friends… I think everyone learned something new.

This summer, I finished the book and published it. Paul got a new exciting job that had him traveling extensively over the summer and I was overwhelmed with a lot of solo parenting. Then Joey got diagnosed with arthritis and we started in a whole new learning curve. I got busy with the Expo and started my fall workshop schedule. Somehow, hitting 1800 FB likes means my workshops are regularly filling up.

So today I am off to my mom’s in northern Wisconsin for MEA weekend with the boys. Walking in the woods, grounding with nature and connecting with family. I know that it is time for me to add something. I don’t do well if I am bored and finishing the book was a huge accomplishment but it also taught me that writing ain’t it. It is not conversational enough. I sit alone for hours and hours and then years later people tell me that they love a book that I don’t really remember.

I love this newsletter because it only has to make sense today. It is my Snapchat- I know it will be around for awhile but most of you will either read it in the next 48 hours or you won’t…and that is perfect because by Saturday it will be old.

My motto- We must find ideas big enough to be afraid of again – Garland Wright. I need a new project that scares me as much as writing a book used to.

I will let you know… I am sure that big dangerous idea is somewhere deep in the woods of Wisconsin.
