signs of spring
Well, it is almost officially Spring. I was born on the first day of Spring, so I feel pretty connected to this time of year. I also typically start to feel refreshed at the start of Spring. I hope to feel this again this time around, but it is hard to tell because there is so much happening this year!
Major Changes/Events:
- I took the leap and quit my day-job to pursue my dreams of a self-sustaining career. garbella is now my focus! It feels great. I am still teaching 2 programs/evenings per week to stay connected with young people and education (something else that I am passionate about), but I am going to be able to bring some more focus and energy to garbella. I have set big goals for this year!
- I am getting married in 67 days. We are planning a DIY affair for 200 people and the ‘To-do’ list is hella long. Major task this week… design and screen-print the invitations.
- I am signed up to run the Pittsburgh half-marathon. This will be my first half-marathon. I’m excited and trying to stay injury-free.
- Spring/Early Summer Shows are starting to send out vendor announcements, so I hope to be busy with a couple shows. Handmade Arcade is already on the books! Pittsburgh folks- stop by to say hello to me! and check out all of the awesome vendors.
- I completed a 28 day yoga challenge in the month of February at my new favorite yoga studio- The Yoga Hive! This was the most consistent yoga practice I have ever had and it felt really amazing. It also felt really great to set a goal and accomplish it.
In summary, 2011 is looking like it is going to be an awesome year, with lots of exciting changes.
Also, happy pi day! 3/14. Check out this cute Pittsburgh project from pi day 2010! They delivered little pies by bike to houses, apt., and offices with 314 addresses!
