Hi lovely friends, remember how I was all like "It's great that I'm leaving! I need a new challenge!"
mmm. Yes, well.
Of course immediately after that it became a heartbreaking series of goodbyes, whirlwind race to divest myself of a year and a half of accumulated things and agonizing decisions over where to head next.
Yes, as of last week I hadn't yet decided where to go after San Francisco. SO!
Here's what happened...
1. I'm in San Francisco seeing friends and going to the Sex Work Film Festival
2. I'm flying to NYC on Monday June 8 to spend a few days with Loralee and celebrate my 35th birthday. Yessssss!
3. I'm returning to Toronto for a few minutes!
After Toronto: Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver, then back to SF in late July for a road trip with Loralee AND I will be living in SF doing this program. I'm so thrilled and honoured and excited to have been chosen for a program I respect so much.
Ok, borrowing a computer! Late to meet everyone! Love you lots!

p.s. props to Sunny Drake for pointing out that staying in Australia and Sydney in particular simply offers *different* challenges than leaving--the ones related to staying free and flexible when I start to get comfortable, in a familiar place surrounded by folks who know and care about me. Deep.

Chanelle,
It's really nice to see someone as nomadic and unapologetic (about being nomadic) as myself. You have yourself a nice birthday that somehow ends in being drenched with water (lake? ocean? river? from a bucket, on a stage? You decide). xoxo
hey, hope you have a very happy birthday and that is AWESOME that you are going to be in San Fran for a while. very exciting... xoxoxo tori
