I mean, don’t get me wrong. We’re financially in the dumper. Still, I’m feeling pretty optimistic. Moreso than in a very long time.

Personally, I’m feeling so, because as I visit people and companies as a fundraiser, I see people who aren’t beaten down. They might not be able to do what they want to do philanthropically right now, but they are considering–and looking for opportunities. It gives me hope. Also, I feel right now that a lot of people believe in me. Crazy, right? I mean, when was the last time that you considered whether anyone believed in you?

Think about that for a second. Confidence in who you are and what you’re about is very important, especially in times like these. And, I’m feeling pretty good about myself. I’m still an organizational mess, but I’m an organizational mess with purpose.

Plus, I put on a kick-ass puppet show for six year old girls’ tea parties. True story. Ask Vivian and her friends.
