“The two best prayers I know are ‘Help me. help me. help me.’ and ‘Thank you. thank you. thank you.‘
Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.
13 months ago I collapsed and said ‘Help me. help me. help me.’
The last 11 months have been one amazing ride for me. I landed in a position a little less than a year ago [although, it only seems like yesterday] to get paid for living my life. seriously. I get paid to talk about how much I love the arts. I get paid to learn about the Houston arts scene. And I get paid to meet people. OH: and I get paid to learn stuff. All sorts of stuff.
I’m still waiting for everyone to figure out I’m a complete impostor and idiot.
[Fast forward to my reason for this post.]
In the past month [and more so - THIS week] some amazingly generous mavens have patiently embraced my ignorance and given me an education in marketing that they usually make a living on teaching. And they do this not knowing me but just because they are really just that amazing. I’d like to recognize those people here [in no particular order]:
I collapse in gratitude to you . . .
‘Thank you. thank you. THANK YOU!‘
And blog posts like this really humble me too. Thank you thank you for your kind words.
And oh ya, please keep doing what you are doing and helping the Arts in Houston grow!
Only good and exciting things will come from such passion and dedication to our fellow Houstonians. I am proud to know you and get hyper about our awesome city with you lady

Greatness cannot be faked for long and you’ve obviously shown your greatness in what you are doing for the Houston arts community. Its that type of self questioning that keeps us going and makes us get up every morning. You should only worry if you ever get to the point where you think you can’t learn anything else.
That would be preposterous!
Well, it’s not hard to know a good thing when you see it
I look forward to getting to know you better!
