i've been taking a slew of non-profit management courses through the center for non profit management lately. i'm in the leadership course offered through the smu campus this semester and whenever i can get into any other seminars, i do. today i spent the morning learning about strategic planning and this afternoon several hours getting informed on directors and officers insurance over at paul quin college. it's like being in school again - sorta - except i LOVE learning all this stuff. partly because i'm learning out of necessity and partly because i am already doing some of it and just honing in my skillz.
it's a yuckie-poo day in dallas today. rainy, humid, and lonely. i've been rearranging my work space at home lately and am getting my workflow more and more streamlined. that's fantastic stuff. the lonely part comes in when i space out and look at the trees next to my office and think about how i used to imagine the trees created the wind. not that the wind moves the trees. there's a philosphical analogy to my life in there somewhere. now i'm just confused.
in other more fabulous news.... sonic youth is playing marfa open house in october! (it was in the marfa ballroom newsletter. can't find it on their site or chinati's site. must not be official-official yet.) this is the best news of the week. i'll agree with my pal cari when i say this - i too want to be kim gordon when i grow up. oh hells yes. the trip to marfa this october with the girls will be stellar.
