pegkerr: (All we have to decide is what to do with)
Last week was--unexpectedly good. I had more fun events than usual:

On Friday, [personal profile] minnehaha invited me, along with a few other friends, to a church basement Lenten Fish Fry. That was a definite experience: 1,131 people in all sat down to have dinner in that church basement, in a succession of waves. The setting was at times loud enough to set teeth on edge, but the food was certainly tasty enough.

On Saturday, I went to my sister's house, where the family gathered to celebrate both her seventieth birthday and her son's (my nephew's) 40th birthday.



He has just gotten engaged, too, which made the celebration that much more joyous.

On Sunday, I went to a St. Patrick's Day open house, and I enjoyed a delicious corned beef and vegetable feast and conversation with friends--at least until I was forced to retreat due to a flare of cat allergies.

But what particularly pleased me was that I did several things last week that I considered rather brave.

One I'm not in a position to speak of yet.

On another front, I have started doing some free lance work for Patricia C. Wrede, who saw these collages and thought some occasional graphics would be a welcome addition to her blog on writing.

And I also plucked up my courage to reach out to an audiobook narrator I truly admire to explore the possibility of turning The Wild Swans into an audiobook. His initial response was positive, although there is much that would have to be hammered out before it becomes something real.

It felt good to tap into a courage within myself rooted in faith in my own creative capabilities.
