Saturday, May 19th, 2012 WordCamp!

6:30am > ALARM > Snooze

6:40am > Snooze

6:50am > Snooze

7:00am > Alarm off > Get up (I know where I’m going and I have plenty of time . . . )

COFFEE ~ clothes ~ teeth, hair & makeup

7:30am > Head to Wordcamp

I know just where I am going – and I do – it’s just that when I get there, it turns out that WordCamp is not where I think it is . . .

<panic> WHERE IS IT? </panic>

Turns out the school has a second location in South Austin.  And because I knew about the North location, as soon as I saw the name of the location, I quit paying attention . . . because I knew.

I’ve done this before – no doubt will again.  And I do get the value of the things we know in life.  Without them we’d be lost in many ways.

What has my attention now is when knowing is more of a reaction.  I’m now looking at what is possible when I’m present in these circumstances.  And where knowing limits me in my creativity, business and personal relatonships.  What IS possible when I give up knowing in a reactive way . . . I’m committed to finding out.
