lucky girl

I got back from burning man but still have dust in my brain. I am so busy. I get to volunteer at my kids school 2x a week. It's an incredible privilege to be in the class with them. They have inspired teachers who work really hard. I am a very lucky mom. Our public school are so broken. We pay teachers just above minimum wage (one of my kids has a teacher with a master's degree!) and we crowd up to 36 kids in a class. We are truly blessed to be at charter school that nourishes kids souls and encourages them to be inquisitive and love learning. So once again burning man has filled me with the drive, inspiration and motivation to make the world a better place, starting at home.

I am headed to the desert. The middle of the desert, to be specific. No running water. No electricity. No shade. No cell phone, No internet, No bathroom,No kids. No husband. One week.

Burning Man.

A radical art festival that nourishes my soul. I have been once before, a couple of years ago and it was transformative. It changed the way I see myself, treat myself and express myself. I am hoping for a refresher next week. There will be lots of dust, blazing heat and my artsy, hippie friends. This is "me" time. I spend one week replenishing my creative energy that composes the center of who I am. It takes an extreme enviornment for me to let go. I can't call and check on the kids, I can't check my email. I have no choice but to sit back and let it all go. I am enjoying the ride.
