Today was a long day filled with lots of good stuff. I'm auditing a class at FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising) in LA. I'm going to be an instructor in January. Today, I met with the assistant department head and she told me that I am the front-runner for the two open classes next quarter. That made me happy. It got me back in touch with the fact that I have talents and a lot to offer, even in an intimidating atmosphere...(Yes! I'm intimidated.) I guess I hide it well because I am perceived as confident...go figure! Anyway, as I am auditing the class, I basically need to "be a student". I'm very much in touch with my competitive over-achiever as I take the quizzes and do the homework. I had no idea what I was getting into. It's actually fun, stimulating and a great place to meet some exciting creative people. I'm very grateful for this opportunity and I'm glad that I didn't let intimidation keep me from taking a chance.
So today, my brother commented on his letter. I was a little bummed that he hadn't responded, thinking he must have received his letter almost a week ago. I started to worry that somehow he misinterpreted my letter, in which I talked about his potential, as judgmental or condescending... (things I've been accused of occasionally by siblings). Well, today he texted me a happy little text about it. It made me smile. I love my brother and in case he forgot...I reminded him.
Did I mention that things with my daughter are so much better? Well, they are. Today we went for a photo shoot to get her some head shots. She's looking to get signed by an agent for modeling and acting. It was so much fun. She looked amazing. Her hair was PERFECT! I think we are going to have a hard time deciding on just one pose! We were in sync, I was helpful, she was open...life is goooood!
Today I wrote to another sister...good stuff.
