No longer Publicity Chair for the community club---hoo boy am I bad at that! Who would've thought that contacting publications and writing press releases could be soooo unappealing and easy to forget to do in time...
But, as I am the youngest on the board--and easily the one with the most enthusiasm--they are keeping me around. I don't know, I must be useful for something. Like being the grunt who helps set up for the "ChiliPaloosa" festival tomorrow.
I am constantly wrestling with the feeling that I'm missing my boat somehow.
Isn't that the Buddhist definition of hell on some level?
About Me
- ZENMama
- I am a married, 41 yr old mother of a daughter that had osteopetrosis (OP), a very rare and fatal bone disorder in which the bones grow unchecked. She had to have a bone marrow transplant to cure the disorder in January of 2009; she's cured and doing remarkably well. The OP caused her to go blind, so now, as we wind down from medical trauma, we are learning what it means to raise a special needs child. The experience has been crucible in which we have learned what it means to truly stretch, grow, love, grieve, and thrive all in the face of great uncertainty. What a ride.

Yup... learned that with my own debacles. PR is a full time job. Oi. Hate that shit. They dance you around for an hour til you get to the "right person to talk to"'s voice mail which they only check on monday evenings and never respond to.
