So there’s a lot to do. Doesn’t everyone know it. A lot. To do. My particular lot just grew into a starburst blast of OH-MY-GOD.
I was happy a few weeks ago when a big fancy company hired me to be the copywriting voice of their big fancy project. I can balance this with the launch / pre-launch / launching-now-and-also-again-later-launch of Story Charmer, I thought. No problem.
But THEN, I got a call proposing I do something VERY big and VERY fancy, and I was so seduced by the big and fancy I couldn’t turn it down. And so now, my friends, I am scrambling like a Sunday morning egg to get my affairs in order.
Can anyone spare an elf?
There’s travel insurance to buy. New underwear to purchase. There’s hair to dye and–hello!–jobs to finish! There are stories to charm, blog posts to write, friends to call for help and thank you GOD for those friends, who are helping where they can.
In TWO weeks I hit the road. In a few days, I tell you where to…as soon as I get the camera… I am. Very. Excited. The job is a culmination of so many years and “lives” along those years, that I am looking back and thanking my circuitous path for being so, well, circuitous. All those interests and experiences will converge into one this summer…in 11 days, actually. Tick tock.

So fantastic and isn’t it always the way? Craziness before the blast off. Sending super capable elves your way for magic and machinations. Can’t wait to hear the cool news…

Cannot. Wait. To Tell You!! (hyperventilating. #impatient. hoping to get camera and green light tomorrow.)
Awaiting good news with bated breath……. Oh Come On!!! Hurry up already!

How exciting!
Yeah! Pema. Glad to be in your loop.
So excited for you, and awaiting the great news! May your elves and angels keep you supported on your journeys.
Pema,
I’m happy to be an elf and help. I have a great hairstylist (THE BEST) in Portland, I can tell you the sexiest and comfiest (for travel) undies to buy, got a great business insurance guy…what else do you need?
Oh, yay, Rachel! Elf help! I’m getting my hair done tomorrow (love my gal, Stacy, at a new salon called Red Magnolia), and I think the insurance task has been covered.
BUT…do tell me about those sexy travel undies! I just found out I’ll be sleeping with 14 people every night.
Hah. Doesn’t that sound…uh…busy?
i LOVE, LoVe, lOvE! that you are sharing like you are. Fresh. Raw. Live.
Tick, Tock is right, sister and you are knocking it out. It’s happening. Keep breathing, keep calling for support. Keep your eye on the prize.
Anything else I can do?!
