i am a very lucky person

So yesterday, after writing that post, a funny thing happened:  one out-of-town friend contacted me out of the blue, and we talked for about an hour, catching up on life. Then another out-of-town friend called, with all sorts of inspiring thoughts, and she helped me brainstorm some exciting business ideas.  I had lunch with my former boss, who was full of encouragement, and when I returned I had two possibly-awesome business opportunities waiting in my email inbox.​

Add your wonderful words that you left for me in the comments, and I'm feeling pretty awesome.​

So, lesson learned:  uncertainty may be the birthplace of creativity, but you know what else?  ​When you reach out in vulnerability, sometimes you touch amazing support ​and love.  And for this, I'm incredibly grateful.  Thanks so much, friends.  You were just what the doctor ordered.

(In other news, I'm buried under some nasty deadlines -- which is a good, highly productive, energizing thing, actually.  So, with your indulgence, I'm going to take a day to catch up.  I'll be back on Friday.)​
