What I learned from Pride, now that I have thought it over:

6/12/2017

1. I could look at my experience as a 'glass half empty' or a 'glass half full.' That is, I could focus on what went wrong, or on what went right. The result: we distributed 2000 postcards! Glass half full = optimism. That's me.
2. No matter how well you plan for participation in a public event, you can't really control everything. So much can happen. So I did my best to prepare, things happened, and I adapted as best I could. No blame here.
3. Standing back from it all, I now realize that my main mission is to finish editing the book, get feedback from my beta readers, and have the final version uploaded before the deadline. Publicity is important, yes, but having the book be really, really good is the top priority.
4. There is a lot of love in my life! Sometimes, sitting alone at home in my office, working on my computer, I find myself with feelings of isolation. Little by little, I'm remembering to remember that I love plenty of people and plenty of people love me!

Happy Pride, everybody!

    I'm a social activist who still needs to pay the mortgage, eat, and do the laundry.  But, more than that, I'm a love activist.  I want to make life better without having to say there's anything wrong with it now.
