Top Five Out of My Comfort Zone Experiences (in no particular order):
1. Driving a big loop through New Mexico alone.
2. Poetry workshops that required writing on demand and reading aloud (gulp).
3. Two open mics - reading with shaking hands and voice, but reading nonetheless.
4. Holding boundaries with a difficult family member.
5. Turning down a good job that would have eaten up time I want to devote to other things.
Bonus: The traverse of a fairly remote stretch of coastal mountains that my phone led me on to avoid an accident on the normal route--deserted, potholed, rutted, one lane in places, and me alone in my 19 years old creaky car with no cell phone signal and no idea where I was, chanting "this too shall pass" for an entire hour.
Savoring December's one sentence journals (and the last post about community). Happy New Year.
