I loved this essay! It is beautifully written – “like stuffing batting into the points of a star-shaped pillow.”, and you wrote about a specific risk, the deadline, and your plan of action.

We can think about things all the time. We can wax philosophically about life and change. But you became willing to decide. You made a decision, changed your perspective “shift your approach”, and put muscle (action) to support your decision.

It scared the dickens out of me just reading about it! You also inspired me. I have no doubt that you’re gonna be great! Make a recording of your performance so we can all hear your act.

Yea!!! And yeah – when and where? I am so proud of you, for you (at the risk of sounding maternal – ack)!

Wooo-hoo, Andrea! What a great story, and a powerful risk. Can’t wait to hear every detail!

(And maybe I’ll crash… when/where?)

Andrea,

Bravo! Loved the story! I had no idea about your experience in NYC. As always, I love your gift of writing. Such talent! Can’t wait to hear about your open mic night. So excited for you!

Hugs!

I miss you, Andi — this was a terrifically inspiring read — you lit a fire under my butt, for sure. And you can bet that i’ll be there for that open mic night!
