Best Laid Plans....

Okay... I have to admit temporary defeat....

I was really excited about getting my new CD out (Soul Meditations)... but I ran into some technical difficulties I couldn't handle myself. So I had to ask for help!

And that brings up other people's schedules and other people's lives, and....

So it's probably safe to say that the CD will not be ready until mid-August. But that's okay. It feels a little more relaxed than trying to have it ready by this coming Monday - even for me! :)

To get to this place though, I had to give myself "a talking to"....

It's been one of those blah-blah-icky days where I couldn't seem to get myself motivated to do much beyond what absolutely needed to be done.

So, I went out to the pavillion in my backyard - my outdoor "sanctuary" - and sat myself down and said, "HEY! What's going on??"

First of all, I didn't know exactly how I felt besides "yuck." And I knew I needed a little more to go on to get to the bottom of this, so I asked myself, "What ARE you feeling?" and started making a list...

• lethartic
• concerned about $
• nervous/apprehensive about tonight's meetup
• unsure what to do about the CD launch - still waiting to hear back from helpers

Just in writing this list, I realized that the real issue was being in limbo about the CD project, which was really a control issue.... I didn't feel in control of the project anymore.

So I asked, "What can I do that would make me feel better about this, and feel more in control?"

• go ahead and change the launch date to mid-August on my website
• let everybody know about the change in plans

Funny.... When you're feeling stuck, the culprit just about always revolves around some sort of decision that needs to be made. And once you finally decide one way or the other, taking action is easy. AND best of all... it gets you out of "yuck." :)

Here's to continuing the Journey... making plans, course-correcting as needed... getting feelings out on the table... and moving forward!
