After much ado, and much delay…

We all have foibles. One of mine is starting a project and not following through with it. I am a woman of ceaseless interests, and I get side tracked easily.
One of the wonderful things that has been taking up my time is my new job as an AmeriCorps VISTA at Theatre Action Project.
I started this blog in the middle of the summer, right before beginning an epic trek across the United States to Memphis, then to our nation’s capital for Independence Day, back to Memphis, then back to Austin.
In the course of that time I interviewed for two jobs and got both of them. I was so lucky. One rendered me a frustrated, albeit paid, cog in a super store chain at the busiest time of their fiscal year. The other landed me with Theatre Action Project, a small arts non-profit based in Austin.
This weekend marks three months since I made my first trip to Colorado for PSO training, and this week will mark three months as the Community Relations VISTA. In that time I’ve been so lucky to join a warm, committed, passionate team of people who genuinely believe that the arts are necessary in the lives of children, and that we can all become better people through exploration of creativity.
My job feeds my soul. I get to create. I get to coordinate volunteers to make a difference. I get to come home satisfied. I feel inspired again for the first time in some time.
When you’re in a good place, bad habits can be battled. Here’s to commitment, to persistence, and to getting around to the things we love.
