Excited. Excited. I am so EXCITED! For this brilliant opportunity. Pixie Campbell over at Pink Coyote is has created a 'Sanctuary for Wild Women', if you will. An online course that helps you dive for your inner pearl.

This is my first ever online course. Along with the striking excitement I feel every time I think about the course, I am a bit nervous. This is my first e course. Will I keep with it? Will I check in. Will I remember to read the prompts, take time for the assignments, keep up with the flickr account? Will I burn out?

I don't know why all this self doubt. And maybe, just maybe, this course will help me with that.

So I encourage all of you to go over to SouLodge and sign up.

I remember

In the style of Joe Brainard's memoir;

I remember meeting you for the first time. I remember looking at you as if we were bosom buddies of old. I remember your secret invitation. I remember you welcomed me in, no reservations. I remember being barefoot on your castle. I remember the smoothness of your touch. I remember the intoxicating smells or your reign. I remember the sounds of your serfs and servants. I remember the sweet surrender, under my childish feet. I remember your patience was as long as you are old.

My own forest realm.
