Now to the happiness.
You all, I had the most glorious weekend. It needs to be written about over at Poliogue but it was awesome and inspiring and I totally geeked out when the political director of ABC news came to give me a hug. I ended up leaving the inaugural AMP Summit with a giant smile on my face and projects under my belt. Because of Julie and Joanne I feel ready to do something great. It’s a feeling I haven’t had in quite some time. Though I’ve been saying it here a lot; I can feel that something good is coming. And this past weekend The Good fell into my lap. It jump started and renewed my belief that I do, in fact, have something to offer. You know what I’m talking about, right? When you feel kind of ‘blah’ about things. And nothing seems to go well and you feel like a failure. That’s how I’ve been feeling about many o’ things but I feel better and ready to take on the world. Or as Joanne said, we have a conspiracy and we’re about to build an empire. I cannot wait to share with you more about AMP or about our plans but for now I have work and fundraisers and midterms to think about and clothing to purchase because my ass has expanded. Those are my priorities.
Hope your weekend was just as fulfilling and awesome as mine.

Well congrats on the fantastic weekend! I’ve been in the midst of the blahs but I’m hoping the tide will turn soon. I’m not a huge follower of political happenings but I enjoy reading your Poliogue bits and feeling like I know a bit more than I would otherwise! So, thanks!
I just love that picture. How did you capture so much in one shot?
You have a great deal to offer, my friend. Thanks for letting me be part of it.
