'CHUBBY BUNNY' - LUKE CHUEH
Today was the day for another milestone. The third in a trifecta that I've been focused on for the last year now. Portfolio. Graduation. Pitch my clinic idea to the guys in the Humanitarian Division at the Church Office Building. Check. Check. And check.
After each of these days I've woken up with the realization that I'm hurtling through all kinds of huge cross roads in my wee life. Every decision seems to be leading somewhere. But this isn't news to me, I know this is common in life. I guess being more aware of it at this given momentmakes making decisions feel monumental.
In the mix of all this 'soul searching' it has been nice to reconnect with old interests and find new ones. I'm reveling in the freedom of spending my time as I please. I picked up some new toys today at the art store. Block printing is up on the 'must try' list.
Graduation came with a short lived {2 day max} depression. Talking with friends I'm finding this is a common occurrence but all the same I hid from the possibility of being sad and threw myself into work and making the third milestone happen.I met with a group of gentlemen today to talk to them about the project that has kept me up nights and has had me digging through any information online about shipping containers I can get my hands on. As I prepared for the meeting today I was very aware of how little I know. I fought with the appealing idea to cancel the meeting. I wanted to pretend like I haven't been driven by the need to see this thing through. It's weird, but I feel like it is almost a responsibility to not give up on this thing.
So now on this side of this milestone I feel.... encouraged. Even smaller, but like I can make things happen if I want to make them happen. Like that chubby bunny at the top of this post, I feel like my dreams are out of my reach but 'all I have is money and time' so why not just keep grabbing for them right?{That saying 'all I have is money and time' is something Koreans say and I really like it for the irony.}

I am assuming that is the cover of your submission portfolio? It is perfect. It really touches the heart. Good luck and keep pushing. You were meant to make a difference.
I like the cover art, too. You have such a knack for capturing colors and textures. Good luck on your proposal - and I like that Korean saying. American tend to only moan about how we don't have enough money and time. But we all have some, and it's what we do with those resources that count.
excellent point Cara, you're a wise woman.
I'm way behind. I need to catch up on this project you presented. Sounds amazing. You're quite the humanitarian---always have been.
That's why I lof you!
awesome!! I bet they were super impressed. I'm proud of you for doing something I've only dreamed about doing. Keep me posted :)
I love your blog, It is a pleasure to visit.keep it up.
