Anticipation

The time seems to be flying by lately, and it brings me closer to the beginning of the Artsbridge program. I have many feelings - a combination of excitement, anticipation, curiousity, and yes...some anxiety. The program will be hosted by Boston College this year, and it is a beautiful sprawling campus. In fact, I lived practically down the road from the campus when I lived in Boston after graduating from college. In many ways it's a familiar area, but in many ways it is not.

I have adjusted to the hectic and always intriguing pace of New York City. When I lived in Boston I was in tune with that city's unique rhythms and energies. Now it is time to readjust to it, but also to expand - as I enter into a new experience.

I am already anticipating how much I will miss my husband Adam during the month that I am gone. However, we are both very interested in how this adventure will unfold, and if anything it will just add one more rich layer to our relationship.

I expect that there will be the unexpected at Artsbridge. I look forward to intensity, challenges, sharing, growth, and creating. I look forward to being an arts instructor and also a student of the experience itself. I'm sure that I will be creating a lot of artwork myself in my free time, journaling often, and of course blogging here about my experiences. Stay tuned!
