In which she figures out how to decide where to put her energy

Things I am excited about:

Collaborating with Rick on his Ghost House Project. (We will be making plush/softie versions of his Ghost House paintings). I've been doing some general inquiry about why I am so open to do this project and why I'm so wary of collaborating with other people sometimes. Perhaps because there are clear boundaries about what our individual roles are--and because he is actually putting so much effort into this project--that I will not likely end up feeling taken for granted (letting myself get taken for granted?). More on that later.

Meeting with Irene about the possibility of incorporating my idea for a fabric store/sewing lounge into her gallery space. I'm not putting any eggs into any baskets here, but I like the idea of just talking about what's possible. Just getting closer to the real possibility of doing this thing.

I was about to add another item about helping Brian with promo stuff for his band, but suddenly not feeling so good about it. These are the things that I need to pay attention to: putting energy into things (to help or benefit others) that ultimately leave me feeling taken for granted. This is a very important realization for me to have right now--knowing in advance that I will not feel good about putting too much energy into that project.
