No Brazil this year…
Cliff January 9th, 2007
I have a tendency to over-commit myself. I get excited about various projects (with attached deadlines), and of course I want to do everything, so I say “Ok!!!”
I just got a message from the folks in Brazil that they won’t have enough funds to fly me down this year to present at Conferência de Wicca & Espiritualidade da Deusa. My response? “Whew!”
I was looking forward to going down to present, teach, eat, drink, party, and relax (yes, all at the same time). However, I think it might serve everyone (and my nervous system) if I put this presentation off until 2008, and spend at least part of 2007 relaxing.
Without this hanging over my head, I’ll feel much better about focusing on book chapters, courses, library instruction sessions, etc. etc. etc. I’ve already bowed out of teaching hooping this semester for the Student Recreation Center, so with a few more cut-backs, I think I’ll be back to a manageable life!
PS–how lucky am I that I have so many great opportunities that they’re overflowing to the point that I have to say no?!?! My life rocks!!!
