So this is it! The project I’ve been eluding to and talking about...for years {as those of you close to me know, its' been a long time coming}
Seriously big time stuff.
I’ve got to tell you, the relief I feel in finally seeing this project through is amazing. The show idea has been on my mind since I started podcasting in 2006. I know this is just the very beginning of where it will ultimately go, but I have to say that whatever happens with this Kickstarter campaign, I am so glad I am trying and not letting fear and a ton of resistance stop me. Because, oh believe me, it came up so many times especially in the past few weeks. Sean and I have been working on the video officially since last November and now that the long awaited campaign is up! what will we even do with all that extra energy that is suddenly freed up from worrying and thinking and thinking some more and procrastinating. Oh right, we’ll be promoting it for the next 30 days straight!
This is a pause in this post when I’d like to share a quote I just heard from Jerry Seinfeld expressed to Carol Liefer when she was nervous about filming her first TV pilot, that went something like this "Remember there will always be more, and this is just another day in your life and career."
Especially good for me to remember on a day like today as I launch something new that feels so important - hard to keep it in perspective when it’s as if everything you’ve done in your life, thus far, was meant for this. But I will do my best to breathe through it, while I also remain incredibly excited to share this with you.
Who knew? when I was driving over the hill from Boulder to Denver thinking about a name for my company, 14 years ago, that it would be a great name for a show {airing on Thursday}? Or maybe some part of me did know? As I’ve shared before, Creative Thursday was a name I chose because I knew it would support all of my artistic pursuits. Then it became the podcast and now a web series, airing May 2015. Our kickstarter campaign is looking to raise the funds for the equipment, time and travel involved to create the first 3 episodes. And should we exceed our initial goal we can make more episodes and get them to you faster!
I’m not going to describe all the details of the show in this post, as everything you need to know is right here.
I will, however, sincerely, directly ask for your help. Something that for whatever multitude of reasons is a challenge for me. I pride myself on independence, and I’ve built this business alone, technically speaking {because we never really do it alone} This is one of those moments when I realize just how much we do need support from one another, as I can’t make this series a reality without you. So Sean and I launched our first ever Kickstarter campaign that starts now.
What I’m most excited about; this show is for all of us. It’s about sharing what is possible and inspiring you while shining a light on amazing people and work being created every day. And we’ll be keeping it real, talking about what it truly means to live a creative life.
However you can help, from spreading the word of this to everyone you know and/or funding the campaign {I have all kinds of special treats set up for my kickstarter backers!} THANK YOU!!!!!
{the sad news of the loss of Joan Rivers just came in as we were preparing for this launch. I want to say thank you to Joan, and all of the women who’s life and work, and bravery have pioneered the way for me and countless others.}
