Ok, I almost have my life grounded. Here's the blog version of what's going on...
1. I got a SWEET job. I'm the Recreation Therapist at the Veterans' Hospital in Salt Lake City. This is the real deal, with a real salary and benefits and vacation days and everything, like an actual grown up. Whoa, this day has finally arrived. I have officially grown up. (Ok, not really. I still don't own furniture, and I can still fit everything I own in a four door Subaru.) But this job does mean I'll be in Salt Lake City for at least two or three years. Um, which is another mind blowing thought. Stationary? In the United States? Who is this?! Oh yeah, and I'm a commuter.
2. Starting next week I'll be volunteering at the International Rescue Committee (www.irc.org) working with refugees from Turkey, Cuba, Liberia and Burma. I'll also help the IRC with grant proposal writing as the last of my master's requirements. All this until August... when I officially graduate with my master's degree!
3. Creatively, I'm quite busy working on my film documentary, my master's professional project. It's taxing and labor-intensive... but so fun.
So those are a couple of highlights.
All I can say is...
...well, actually, I have too much to say. I feel like a superstar, a failure, and a surrendered ball of light all at the same time. I feel like the Universe hooks me up every day beyond my wild dreams. But I feel like my little body isn't capable of holding all the emotions I'm feeling. It's hard to be back.
...but this isn't the blog version...
So all I can say is...
OK, S-L-C... whatch you got for me, punk?

Super congratulations!
oh my sweet surrendered ball of light... I love you!
Bring it, fool!
I'm very happy for you.
By the way, even though you have a "grown up job," you probably won't feel grown up. At least, I don't. And really, I think that's a blessing!
EMILY!!!!!! Erin and I were just talking about how realistic it is for us to take a road trip to come see you.....we are no longer plane rides away from each other-and although i am always happy when you are experiencing another land it feels more breath-able when you are near.....congrats on all your achievements and welcome back to this part of the states....love and light to you.
oh, you should know my friend Sarah Monson...she and I and a cool group of girls started a women't group of sorts called "the gatherings" where we invited women we admired to come divulge their secrets of life success in the living room. you'd love her...let's linkup!
