What makes me feel most alive:
One hour and counting to load in...
The soda, water, chips and ice are packed into the back of my overloaded Buick. The venue is putting our info up on the marque as I type. ( Gosh - I have a marque!) I'm waiting for the all relaxing call from the bands letting me know if they made it across the border. I'm so excited for the possibilities and opportunity of this evening. Thank you all who have helped in any way: carrrying chairs, selling soda, posted flyers and all that it takes to put a show together.
Cheers - Here's to pre- show butterflies!
May all that attend this evening be aware of God's generious, loving and caring spirit. We would all be out in the cold without him.
Post Show: There are connections that only God can trace into our lives if we give Him the space and time to finish the dot - to - dot puzzle. Our dear friend James - came from the TV station and shot footage for the evening local news, our friend Brad came to show his support and loved the band ( The Silent), St. Susan Center was happy to have their name in the paper and the news, and my hubby thinks that I'm the best promoter on the east coast ( at least). There were precious people in my life all under one roof for the first time - that is exciting in itself!
What makes me feel least alive:
When well meaning people comment over and over on the number of people that should have been there. That is about it for today. I can't control that problem - so as far as I'm concerned I feel very - very - grateful, alive and out of the cold that could have chilled my warm, music-filled heart!
I was concerned about the low attendence at the show - but just when my enthusiasm was about to hit the curb, the sponsor called me to let me know how much she appreciated all the time, phone calls, hitting the pavement, and such I did in order to pull the event off. She spoke of being blessed to have me and my family involved in her ministry. She was the icing on the cake. My family and I had pizza and garlic/medium wings at the end of the evening and watched our event on the late news.
Viva de life!
Peace and Joy,
Tara Lamont
