Lucky Gratitude

At the risk of sounding like eat love pray lol (which is actually eat get married kind of prey… I’m really grateful and feel so lucky for the manifestations that have happened over the last two years. Yes, it’s been very difficult but now I’m sort of sitting here in this very solid base, a wonderful base I have built.  It’s so strange because you want to sound proud but you don’t come across as bragging or showing off. Isn’t that weird that we just don’t give ourselves credit for all the cool stuff we do?

I mean like, you did some cool things! REVEL in it! Take joy in it! Feel good about it. I don’t know why that’s so hard for us to do. I mean some of it from my upbringing, you know, they say things like: don’t get too proud of yourself or people take away from you….. like don’t be happy right?

The picture above is from our staff holiday party, it was fun but mostly it was nice… ya know? Just a nice hang out. I am responsible to these folks. We’re a tea,m that I help steer. The whole bar thing that was always a side hustle has become the main hustle, and yes, I’ve been bitching about not writing for 2 years, has turned out to me really nice. I guess I just wanna take a moment to reflect I made this happen. I created a cool queer space with awesome people and have made it a continued reality. It isn’t separate from my art; it’s a living beating part of it.

OH and I had my scree ing which was AWESOME!!!!!!! People raved! Yay me!
