There’s lots of scratching out and “try that again”. Good it’s not an actual race because I’d have been eliminated due to all the false starts. But, it’s not all for naught. And honestly that’s the most soothing thing I can tell myself, otherwise I’d spiral into metaphorical covers pulled up over my head. Mistakes are de riguer. It means I’m still trying. It means I’m still exploring. I’m still curious. I’m still saying yes. I don’t want to start stagnating in my third act. I want to slide into the finish line with gusto. Which is how I ended up as a guest on my dear friend’s podcast, Lies My Vagina Told Me.
How can you not be curious about a title like that?! Not going to lie, didn’t want to do it but I wanted to support my pal, so I stepped out of my comfort zone. Doing the podcast was me dipping my the toes into the Sea of Yes. I think I’ll keep splashing about as an antidote to languishing on the shore a la Death in Venice.

Tune in here if you’re curious.
