As I sit here watching the inaugural coverage I can't help but sense we really are at the dawn of a new era in our country. Despite all of the very real challenges we are facing, I really haven't felt a sense of hope & excitement like this in my adult life, and am very much looking forward to seeing what the next months and years bring. Just to see the country excited vs. complaining is such a wonderful change (however long it lasts).
I am also feeling all of this on a personal level as well..as if all of my efforts for the last 4-5 years are about to really take off this year. I'm on the verge of realizing the dream of launching my own radio podcast show...The Nitty Gritty Cafe (hopefully within two weeks) and am SO looking forward to meeting and talking to all of the people we are lining up to be on the show. I'm also collaborating on a book which will be a companion to my latest doc, The BlueBelles...and I can't tell you how long I have had the goal of writing a book (probably since childhood).
And, I really feel I'm entering into a new level in terms of my filmmaking career...meeting great people, being offered some interesting (and paying) projects and just taking my abilities to the next level. It's a good feeling and, for today, I'm just going to bask in it for awhile.
So, here's to 2009..to positive changes, new levels of understanding & bright futures for all.
