Wow! Thank you! I have learned so much through this process...and the art of the process is what I truly live for...I love the problem solving. I have a terrible habit of getting an idea for something, like the annual mermaid parade, and waiting too long to get moving, and not getting my vision to come together by the deadline. Conversely, another bad habit is that I will NOT have a deadline and a project I am enthusiastic about languishes nearly done because I'm afraid I will ruin it in the last stages.
But, you know what? Life is too short. I'm going to finish this tail, and if it's not perfect, that's okay. If it fails, I will try again. But I will have one finished tail that will be filled with energy, with sincere effort, with solutions, and with love for the creative process. And until the next -and presumably better - tail is done, I will happily swim in the imperfect, well loved project that has brought me so much joy.
And with every push through the water, every shimmer of light that plays off the surface, every joyous laugh from me or others, I will take with me the love and support of you all, this unique community. I hope you all know how much I truly appreciate your thoughts and enthusiasm, your questions and advice, and I thank you all from the depths of my mermaid heart.
I just thought you should know.

I know the anxious feeling at the end--excited to be done, nervous to be done, terrified of somehow "ruining" the whole project. I know you can move fast, I just hope you don't rush yourself. You've been so great at keeping up a pace!!! I'm excited to see where this takes you. Best of luck in the pondering.
