Another great meeting of Asheville Homeless Network. We have
\ngotten enough donations that I can even discuss paying me something for
\nthe website work. I probably spend close to an hour each week
\nworking on that. I got them to agree to pay me for 15 minutes per
\nweek at $8 per hour… still don’t value myself MUCH, but at least I’m
\nvaluing myself SOME. They agreed for it, and I got to write
\nmyself a check for last year, $100. We have been promised other
\ndonations and I’ll pay myself the other $100 when we get some of them.<\/p>\n
I played tonight at the Courtyard Open Mic. I’ve been doing this
\nfor a few weeks now. Last week I fell into old patterns, acted
\nnervous, depressed, and put myself down a lot… after my first set, I
\ngot a bit of a hold on myself, and pulled out nothing but my own songs
\nfor the second set. I did lots better… and finished clearing
\nthe patterns on my walk home. This week, I went in with a good
\nattitude and had fun. Mostly funny songs in the first set.
\nI had wanted to do “All the Love In the World” during my second set,
\nwhen it began to look like I wasn’t going to get a second set, so I put
\nthe lyric sheet away. Turns out there was time after all, so I
\ndid a couple of my best Stan Rogers songs, “Fisherman’s Wharf” and
\n“Lies”. I did them REALLY well, except for one breath problem
\nduring “Wharf”.<\/p>\n
Feeling great, loving myself, working very hard at judging others less
\n(this was the first Open Mic with hip-hop “artists”, that was really
\nhard to sit through… and I noticed that they came just before their
\nset and left right after it, so they weren’t there for the community,
\njust the mic… ok, trying to not judge that behavior, but again, it’s
\nhard)…<\/p>\n
May your life be free from karmic cowflops!<\/p>\n
Hugs,
