Wishing and Hoping Wednesday
Wednesday, May 16, 2012 | By: Daphne Ellenburg
Wishing and Hoping and Thinking and Praying. Planning and Dreaming....I spend at least one day a week {Ok maybe two}....thinking about the Greener Grass. Sure I know my grass is pretty green here and I've got a real sweet set up, but I always feel like I'm in planning mode for the next big thing. Whatever that may be.
This week, (Yesterday in fact) Jasmine Star announced her workshop series. I was suddenly completely in love with the idea of how this was the greatest thing for me to do.
And instead of this trip being all about me (Selfish Me) - I'd stretch it into 3 days, and take the husband along. It's nice to get away and besides, like he'd never give a thumbs up to his pregnant wife on a 3 day mini break alone in sunny California. Right?
So I planned it. {Thank you Travelocity}
The more I planned, the more excited I got...just knowing that being near J Star would totally open up some new creative brain path that had previously been blocked by something random like old episodes of Growing Pains was going to make all the difference. Soon, All the Mysteries would be revealed..... And then Tragedy struck.
The two worst words to hear on Wednesday, "Sold Out" - RATS! A total Wednesday shut down. {Sigh, followed by Sad Face.} So, I could mope around today...but I won't. I'm going to keep dreaming...heck there's bound to be another one, she started a new website devoted to workshops. Makes sense. Remember if you quit dreaming a part of you dies. And, I don't know about you, but I plan on living forever!
Make it a fantastic Wednesday! :-)

Daphne Ellenburg - Thanks Ladies!
Irela - missed the Fix too - It got as close as Atlanta for me. As soon as I pop out this baby, we should plan to hit the next one. Just a couple of photographers soaking in the sun and sponging all we can from J * - I love this idea.

Irela - Awwwww.....that is sad!! I would love love love to do one of her workshops too. When she did that month tour with THE FIX she was as close as Miami for me...but it was right in the middle of Tax Season and there was no way I could get away for a couple of days! Next time will be a charmer ..... for both of us! Happy Wednesday!
