Today I got up quite early, at least early for me these last few months, put on scrubs, packed a lunch and headed out to begin training at an imaging center. I realized a few things today which were quite nice, one was that it felt really good to be back in scrubs and working with people in healthcare. I realized that I really do enjoy that field and in a way that recognition was another piece of redemption for the time, energy, and money that I poured into the several years of intensive school and work to gain access to what I’m doing now. Especially since I’ve been removed from it for a while. There is a sense of excitement in my heart, both about this opportunity and life in general. Something is happening. Somewhere there is movement and it’s spreading. Seeds that were planted, even a few years ago, whose fruit I may have tasted in past seasons, are proving to be perennials and continue to bear fruit year after year. I am also seeing how giving certain fields a rest for a year or two can make the work to cultivate them again sweeter by the slight mystery and challenge that are entwined with the familiarity. There is a sense of coming full circle, if only for the fact that some of this ground is familiar, pulling out old things and seeing how they fit now, pitching what doesn’t work and embracing what does…ah yes, welcome to spring.
After work I hurried home and did a few things before running out with Sarah Bryan to plan the next few weeks of the Bright Ideas Collective. There was the most amazing sky show as we were driving. I love the fact that we’re getting our golden hour and brilliant sunsets back!
We have some exciting and intense things coming up in the next few weeks. It’s amazing to see how much we learn and experience while writing this material. We are challenging ourselves to grow and learn by digging into these creativity expanding and enriching activities and discussions. The very act of creating enlarges your ability to create. There’s so much to be found in the doing.
I had a lovely time with them as always and now I’m back at my desk blogging and editing away. Enjoy!
Yesterday I walked around the block (the long way) and then stopped by Lisa’s house to pick up the rolling pin. We chatted for a moment and she pointed out that it could make a good security system (you could really do some damage with a rolling pin) as well as a good way to flatten dough. Evil intenders beware! I’m armed and dangerous! This morning I got up having finally (with the acquisition of the rolling pin) gathered all of the materials to make a biscuit mix that Joe & Meg gave me when I was in Cinci a couple of weeks ago. It called for both heavy cream and half and half, both dairy products that I do not regularly keep on hand. I purchased little baby containers of them at the store over the last two weeks and at last, it’s biscuit time!
I had a fun little artist date to Anthropologie (tried on some fun hats) and wandered around a bit before heading home. 
I decided to take advantage of the light and the make up and take a few self portraits.
