No AWP Panels For Me and Not Feeling Refreshed From My Island Getaway

Well… another year of attempting to get an AWP panel and the discount that goes with it and not getting either… I know it’s subjective. Everything is, but seriously…give a girl a break. How damn diverse does a group have to be to be worth considering?

I was trying so hard to do this trip to AWP on my own, but I might need to start fundraising to help me get there and I just don’t feel like I can - I said last year’s fundraiser was my only chance to get to an AWP and it was, at the time, but circumstances have changed and I can try for Baltimore too now.

I’m trying not to feel down or depressed but I am so tired and stressed with stuff going on that even my little trip to Hachijo Island did nothing to refresh me.

I need to practice some gratitude and grace today. Let the negativity and depression settle and move on.

I hope that you are all doing well and staying safe. Sending light, love and creativity.
