I bit off more than I could chew. I spent New Year’s Day dreaming of all the ways I was going to excel at human being”ness” in 2011.
I very carefully constructed ways to ensure I was connected.
I promised to work out more and eat less. I mean, don’t we all?
The Talk Project was created out of a desire to communicate with a world larger than my cluster of girlfriends and my children. I was committed to having one meaningful conversation with someone different for 365 days. It was going so well in my head until I realized that I’m just not ready to strike up conversations in the elevator. I discovered that I am much more insulated and time challenged than previously imagined. So with a heavy heart and a minor sense of failure, I must give up the daily notion of The Talk Project.
I’m going to keep an open door on interesting conversation and see what happens. I promise to explore meeting now people in 2011 and I will certainly document any great talks that come my way. The 365? Well, I’ve got some other things going on right now, including searching for new deodorant.
But call me, we’ll talk.
