I'm at the point where the idea of making goals for myself feels encouraging rather than draining. YES.
I've been moving toward this point for a while, but what really cinched it was this past weekend, during which I: met with my NWSA group for our first official planning session (which was also the first time I'd seen any of these fabulous women in many months), went downtown with
kyonkun, met up with
mahokiwi and
laylah at
ratzeo and
zinjadu's apartment (also the first time seeing them in a while, though luckily not months), and played my first session of
casaval's Harry Potter game.
The NWSA meeting was crucial for lighting a fire under my ass and getting me back to work. These are some of the most amazing, intelligent, powerful women I know, so being in a room with them, and feeling their energy and support, went a long way towards making me feel capable of taking on this conference. And, from there, taking on anti-oppression work in general. (I've started, for better or for worse, thinking about grad school again ...)
The rest of the weekend was more about making me happy enough to keep going with this productivity, rather than being productive in and of itself, but that is also important. :D
( And now, my goals )
ETA: ( Current progress )
