Well, I signed up for this to be the “Summer of Nancy”, left my job (and the security it brings) and have been on a journey to find myself. I know, I know…aren’t I a bit old for that? Well…..
This has been the summer of my dreams. I keep thinking to myself why did I wait so long to do this? And what I’ve decided is, that every woman should take off the summer of her 40th year and just play. Take an art class (I still can’t stop talking about my class with Teesha Moore last month!), plant a garden (mine is in full bloom and I have fresh flowers in the house every day - what a treat!), visit with friends (just had lunch with Shael down in Wickford and caught up on the past month’s events, and having dessert with Betsy & Kim tonight on their deck in Warwick), and just be good to yourself.
Well, it’s true that I haven’t exactly been doing just that…I AM working on two projects that will take place in September…you know me…
First one is Walk a Mile in Her Shoes RI (www.walkamileri.com) that will raise funds for the RI Crisis Assistance Center. Men will get sponsors and then wear women’s high heels and walk for a mile in downtown Providence on Saturday, September 18th at 10:00AM, beginning at Beneficent Church on Weybosset Street.
Second event is the B*A*S*H, a MASH-inspired fundraiser at Quonset Point Air Museum in North Kingstown, to raise funds for the RI Red Cross. Stay tuned for a great short film talking about the event on YouTube (due early next week).
So yes, it’s true that I’ve been doing a couple of side projects, but mostly I’ve just be rediscovering myself and taking time out to nurture my inner child. Can I just tell you? This has been the summer of my life!
